I like pedestrianised inner city areas because that is where I live. I can walk to the Post Office, it's very difficult to take a train there.
The tram system here is still buried but I've been on trams in other European countries the Italian ones appealed although the ethos in Amsterdam less so. I don't see why any transport system is needed in the city centre, only for reaching the city and leaving again.
We have a canal system close by too, with a tow path, it has only recently been re-opened, runs cleanly through the centre of the city and on all the way across the country. All we lack for attractive canal city transport system is actual canal boats.
My ex-husband is an artist and did one of the T stations in Boston--Andew Street. He also designed the benches in Union Square Park in Somerville. His name is Ross Miller and he is a damn good artist--not so good with marriage, however.
I'm not so keen on the whole marriage deal myself. I'd rather skip straight to babies.
The Cloddah ring was very romantic in an extremely metaphoric way, they are wedding rings.
It is OK to mention long long long past episodes of Buffy here I know.

Hello, Unamericans!(blows kisses)
Public transport is awful in Phoenix.Just...beyond sad. And, I'm sorry, beyond that I'm Skippy Skipperman. Just wanted to say hello, though. Carry on with...putting extra u's in words and stuff.
Do you two EVER visit the Angel thread?
I know I'm way, way late, and I'm not even sure if this was directed at me, but....
I only visit the show threads once I've seen the episodes (which, as Jim pointed out, is usually pretty late - hey, I'm even behind the Australians at the moment). I used to keep up with them, when my life was different, until I discovered that being spoiled to all hell ruined most of the enjoyment for me.
The public transport system in my local town is great. I have a tram stop practically outside my door which takes me more or less straight to work. When we move we'll be about 10 mins walk from the underground. It's all good.
Hey Fiona,
the tranport here is good too.
I asked about the Angel thread cos, well...
the tranport here is good too.
Yes, I know the Edinburgh public transport system quite well, seeing as I lived there for a while.
Buses, mostly.
Not so much buses here more feet and legs. Which is why I don't get about much.
Add: I could go swimming again, but swimming to the shops is even harder than taking the train to the Post Office!
I'd expect. Unless, Scotland has Sunnydale-like sewers...which...gross. Vampires must be like dogs, and like smelly stuff.
