You're probably the only one!   :P

I wouldn’t say I miss those smells.  The yeast, tannery or chocolate but it did give the city an unique character

Educate yourself, you silly old man.

  if i choose not to go some place whether it's little chute or saigon, it's my prerogative if that's ok.  i'm not going to spend my money or time in a place i don't feel it's worth it whether that be because of safety or value. 

  i'm not going to make fun of you and others who feel otherwise but that's just your immaturity coming out-no surprise

Not a single person has suggested otherwise. It's a strawman argument to pretend that people have tried to dictate where you do or do not go.

What's laughable is your mindless repetition of the propaganda you've heard that cities are living hellscapes. Fear and outrage -- the Murdoch business model, much copied but never equaled.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

    no one has dictated anything to me smith.  what's laughable is you thinking you hold court here with "CW" trying to sound astute. i pose no argument.  so tell me then what hardy is trying to convey with his wikipedia crap about cities and crime rates.  mindless repetition of what?

    so tell me smith, how are things really in san francisco?  seattle?  portland? oakland?  what do your girls on the view tell you?  you continue to try to throw cover for the cities your people have continued to F-up over the past half century or more

They're driving out the Cub fans the way St. Patrick drove out the snakes from Ireland.

Or it is a horribly written paragraph reflecting the poor state of mainstream journalism.

And everything about this story is suspect.

So your counterpoint is that the writer is the problem and not your reading ability? It was written fine, you just tried to project what you wanted to see in it to attack a viewpoint you disagree with, and did so poorly.

The best newspapers generally aim to write for a 10th grade reading level.
For some people, that's a little steep.

san francisco, chicago, seattle, portland used to be really neat cities.  i miss chicago and san fran especially.  won't be going back very soon.  not worth the risk considering the costs...too bad
I had an Investment Banking client that was making a deal with a large video retailer headquartered in Oregon. We used to stay at a great old school hotel in Portland called  The Benson.

A little ways down the street from The Benson was an excellent little hole in the walk establishment called Mary’s Club. Our client loved going there .

There is a fancy liberal arts college in Portland call Reed College.   Some of the Reed Girls used to covertly work Marys Club to make a little coin on the side. The Club had a jukebox on stage and the girls would get coins from the audience to play the songs they would dance to.

Sometimes the girls would come out and chat with the audience on all sorts of topics  ( for example philosophy or their upcoming internships)when their shift on stage was done. Was very surreal .
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.
