However I do have to say that my fascination lies equally divided between city and rural lifestyles. I do see pros and cons of both and am glad to have been able to experience the two. There is a certain fascination regarding the hustle and bustle of the big city that seems to have developed somewhere around the area of industrialization. Although cramped working class workers living in cheap tenement housing is not my idea of an interesting or fun time. Rather, I find amusing the hustle and bustle of the big city that developed during such a time. The never-ending cycle of life has proved both fascinating and addicting. Due to a now developed twenty-four hour society that we live in it is possible to find anything to do at all hours imaginable.
Unfortunately Lincoln and Omaha do not have such a deeply developed lifestyle such as the much larger and livelier.
And now to get to the point. An all night society is very enjoyable. I personally find great pleasure in walking down the streets of Omaha (downtown in the safe areas-sometimes unsafe) and Millard late at night and finding a myriad of things that are completely different than they are during the day. Furthermore I believe that while I find late night Omaha rather interesting I would be far more amused with what a larger city has to offer. Wandering streets without a purpose or destination, the journey would be all that I desire.
Of course this is just an artist's interpretation of what an awesome semi-unreal night life scene could become. Although who can say what people can or can't do now with technology. Perhaps such an experience is not entirely uncommon nowadays. Or maybe you just need to become an insomniac to truly experience this life.
