They all lament how everything is so crowded you can’t get in anywhere. Lines snake out of every restaurant. Just driving thru the city takes forever now. Traffic is abysmal and so many restaurants went under during Covid that many that are left are packed nonstop.
We still have our little hometown favorites and we don’t talk about them. Saving for ourselves.

Music scene is great and there is tons of natural beauty there. It’s the too many people that makes it kind of awful.
