14. Same boat... have you been gerrymandered out of existence, too?

I *love* the city I need to travel to for protest participation. When I moved up here from Texas, it was where I first settled in. Lived there for over 10 years, and watched it grow from a small but thriving area, with lots of green spaces, to now where it's wall to wall buildings. I think it lost something in that interim. I loved the green spaces; the parks, the horses in the fields. And the architecture they've used has such a "hard" edge to it. Steel and black. Heavy black casings for stop lights. But oh, is that area a richness of food tapestry! And tho the "city" may have taken over the green spaces, the people are just as friendly and open as when I first moved up here. I wish driving it wasn't such a near impossibility for me these days. I'm not ready to have my keys taken away from me, but I am smart enough to know how far and when I can safely do the driving.
