My favorite books or movies are those in which the city or setting are heavily featured. Almost as if the city is as big of a character as the actual people or story. Europe is especially appealing. It's incredibly old yet extremely progressive. It's where the old and the new meet. It's the home of the great empires, democracy, monarchy, the Renaissance, Black Death, the Holocaust and soccer.
It's a continent that clings to so much of its past, but can not contain it's ambition.
It's a place to live; and, better yet, it's a place to die.
