Have you ever compared the "personality" of the towns and cities where you have lived or visited?
This may seem weird to some people, but I often compare places I've been with places I know well; like the four towns of Haigler, Nebraska, Benkelman, Nebraska, St. Francis, Kansas and Wray, Colorado. We spent considerable time in these towns when I was growing up since we lived a short distance from Haigler, which is 24 miles west of Benkelman, 24 miles north of St. Francis and 17 miles east of Wray.
Haigler is a sleepy town with an old western flavor of comfort and family life; Benkelman has the feel of a wild cowboy town that planned its streets around the cow trails leading to the railroad depot in the south side of town; St. Francis tries hard to be a big city with its social events and clean wide streets; and Wray seems aloof and cool - shaded with its tree lined streets and manicured lawns.
You may laugh, but you must also get the different "feelings" when visiting these towns.
