Cities must be alive. They

Cities must be alive. They seem to all have their own soul which represents some collective will culled from its people and their seemingly random activities. If each city did not have its own soul what would make Dallas different from Atlanta or Boston. However, cities aren’t just passive receptacles for the will of its people. The people in each city seem to get caught up in some sort of feedback loop with the city. Just as we change the city, the city changes us. I’ve noticed this the past few days since coming to Dallas from Huntsville, Alabama. The hopelessness and frustration I had in Huntsville has melted away as I’m caught up in the movement and the energy that is Dallas. I feel invigorated by my future possibilities again. As Dallas has changed me, how shall I change Dallas?
