The people yearn for walkable cities! Loved this

I loved Charleston when I was there. Loveliest city in America. Savannah runs it a close second.

Yes, this essay reminded me of Savannah, which is perfection in November. Sphagnum moss and Leopold’s ice cream.

Really enjoyable piece! I particularly enjoyed your comments on the Cavalier legacy- Albion's Seed is a great book.

Sounds a bit like Savannah, with the pedestrians, oaks and mosses
