“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Urban Lanscape
Even though some people may not appreciate the urban setting I have a great appreciation for the city of Cincinnati. The other night my girlfriend and I went to a birthday party in downtown Cincinnati and I realized how remarkable the buildings around me looked in the dark. Many building were lit up and almost looked majestic with their enormous size. Then we walked by fountain square which was still lit up with lights and people ice skating it was an awesome sight.

I agree growing up in Cincinnati I have love big tall building that gives off the urban scene. I find it funny that even though campus is only a about 20 miles away from Cincinnati that it is completely different in how it looks. My favorite place to visit is Chicago for this very reason the city lights at night are really stunning something about it is just truly aesthetically beautiful.
