Yeah. Though to be fair, I didn’t even know I was missing out on something until I was an adult. (My husband grew up with a downtown and insisted it was the greatest thing ever). There was no place at all I could walk to from my house growing up.

The good thing is that we’re not far from traveling there. It’s just that my daughter won’t get to experience that same feeling as when I was little in NY. I was always around the neighborhood, walking with friends, biking to the parks. I just don’t get that feeling you can do that here.
