Here's one of the local, popular parks. It's a lot bigger than this but the pond is the main feature. Research Park:
Btw, didn't know you were back in Aggieland.
I live on the Sunshine Coast, but seeing as it has mountains of suburbs to make it up I'll just talk about mine.
My lovely Village of Palmwoods, an hour from Brisbane and 20 minutes from the coast but everyone here just centres around the pub. Its like living in a small town.

The dead end part of the middle of town.
The centre of town.
The Pub. My Mum loved this puv 30 years ago when she used to travel up here on holidays and now here we are.

Here is my little town:
Downtown, its quite nice with cool shops and restaurants, and its pretty too
Blue Springs, one of the prettiest places near us. I have almost touched a lot of manatees, but its a little illegal, and a huge fine goes along with that, so I just try to let them touch me
A beautiful old oak. Apparently we aren't allowed to climb it. Thats boring...
..

Yes, I have climbed it
A nice big old alligator, personally, I like Maligators better

Downtown:
lake Ella (one of the many lakes in town) actually fell in this lake as a child when I was all dressed up one day.
FSU
Maclay Gardens. Where we are having a ceremony for our anniversary.
Lake Talquin right down the street from my dads house
The woods across from my dads house

I live in Calgary, Alberta.
I like driving to work and seeing the mountains.. thats a plus.
We're cool and modern and put up random steel framing downtown. It looks pretty sweet.
We have cow statues all over the place too.
We have a pretty large, inner city forest. Where all the coyotes and deer hang out.
The future calgary. The red eye sore is called the Peace Bridge (pedestrian bridge) and is costing us 25 million dollars!

I just looked online and the only decent pictures I could find of my town are of the train or this tree with a bunch of shoes nailed on it. LOL - we have <3000 people, a tiny little gas station, a bank, a Co-op (which also has a liquor license), and a corner store (which recently burnt down so they're in a little garage type building - I believe it was actually the oldest corner store in Ontario and it had been a corner store for as long as it was standing). That's honestly it!
It really depends on the city. Frankfurt can be :cry: Its gross at time. Its a big city though, so I guess its "allowed" to be. Mainz is pretty clean, its small though - and historic. Frankfurts not the prettiest of sorts because it was bombed almost completly to ground.
I noticed though, that alot of smaller cities in the US aren't really "lived" in, mostly worked in. Like I visited Charlotte, NC during the summer and it was EMPTY after like 6pm.

You're in the wrong time period if you want a US city to be lived in. Cities are for jobs, suburbs are for living now a days. All the inner city living is generally...not good neighborhoods.
Though this certainly isn't true everywhere, as a lot of places are trying to rejuvenate the living conditions/property values within the city itself, but suburbia's been the trend since uhm, the 60s or so?
