For what it's worth, I live halfway down the Peninsula in San Carlos, and I travel up to the city much, much more often than down to San Jose or across the Bay to Berkeley and Oakland.
That's because San Jose is such a wasteland. (Actually, Redwood City has a great concert venue: the Little Fox Theatre.) There's less to distract people from going to see Serenity.
Oh, Sex and the ____?
Actually, I go down to San Jose for theater a couple of times a year.
Shhh! Don't mention the Grand Prix, and please, please, please don't mention Cinequest.
No, theater theater. Live people. Singing.
It's like Immortals: There can be only one "The City."
Do The Citys (yes, I know it should be Cities) have to fight to the death and decapitate one another? And walk up to hot chicks and say, "My name is The City, and I canna die."
In Maine, "The City" is Boston. I used to have this argument with people in college all the time, and I maintain. "The City" is the closest one to which you live.
But that's just me.
That's true. In Maine, "The City" is Boston. But we're talking about America here, Lilty.
Oh, I want to go to Maine right now.
If you live in any suburb, "The City" is the main city.
Except L.A. Because I can't actually prove that there is a main city. It's been suggested, but I've seen no real evidence.
Maybe the Bay area is the same way. Never been there.
Cindy, you should. I just made an extra porkchop.
Oh, Sex and the ____?
But the "the" isn't capitalized. It's just "the city," as opposed to sex and "the country."
I think Lilty is right. And also pretty.
