They love the variety of ethnic restaurants, specialty corner grocery stores and the old architectural neighborhood enclaves tucked here and there within the city.
Their personal taste is high brow in every aspect and they look at me with that 'deer in the headlights' look when I talk about TV.
Truth be told, they would break out in a rash here.
But I love them anyway.
I have the same relatives. And I share their love of all things Big City. But you cant have it all. I'm content to get my Big City fix on travels and enjoy the weather and activities here the rest of the time. They can stay home, and I won't be offended
