Any place you’re at, seeing the hills and layers of streets around you. My eyes get so bored in flat places.

Tell me about it. We have been in Texas the past couple of years and cannot stand it. It’s so flat and ugly. Ready for something new.

Leaving Texas in just over a week to move to the Pittsburgh area. Excited to be going back east. Texas was nice but you can drive a hour and still be in Houston. Tired of how flat and hot it is.

I miss the Texas skies everyday when I’m in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh’s endless gray from December through March/April is truly depressing for me.

I saw that you’re in Austin. Before you leave you should spend some time in the hill country. It’ll make up for the drudgery of living in a hot and cramped city. On my days off I used to drive to Dripping Springs, Fredericksburg—hell, even just up and down 2222 for a change of scenery. But it’s nice to be living in hill country 24/7 now.

Dripping Springs? God, why? I'm just thinking of all the roundabout backroads. Worst GPS route ever.

I never had that experience. Although roundabout backroads sounds exactly like the kind of thing I would’ve been into on one of my joy rides.

Definitely could be. Though not so much on a "Are we flooded, or just really rainy today?" drive to a job interview

I’m from Cleveland originally, and I didn’t realize how much I loved hills and valleys, didn’t realize what i had been missing all along was the comfort and coziness of terrain until i moved here. (BTW—no one describes this better than Annie Dillard in the first few pages of An American Childhood.)

Grew up here and lived in Cleveland for several years. While the hills and valleys are nice here, I do miss the layout of Cleveland (especially when commuting). The nice thing is both cities are only two hours away, so if I miss something, I can just have a nice day trip

Pittsburgh born and raised, I get extremely uncomfortable when I’m somewhere that’s super flat, like the middle of Ohio or Florida or somewhere like that

Yes. Very underrated part of Pittsburgh
