I always wanted to work and live in the city, especially in Chicago. Since I started at the Tribune Company I have always worked in some sort of famous building, the Tribune Tower, Prudential Tower, Merchandise Mart, etc. Only until Zoro, where I had an office in the suburb and a desk in the city in a shared space.
In Shanghai, I lived about 20-minute walk from the office. Still Pudong is not really in the downtown area.
In San Antonio, it is truly downtown living. The office is right next to the main tourist attraction, River Walk, and the apartment is a 20-minute walk along the river. On weekends I can take an easy stroll along the river, either south to River Walk or North to the Pearl. Recently, we also discovered the Historical Market Square with lots of interesting shops and restaurants. It does get old after a few weeks. Unlike Chicago, where there are endless places to go and things to do in many diverse neighborhoods. Also, it is currently 93F with heat index of 104! Even sitting in the shade under a Big Ass Fan I feel the inescapable heat and humidity.
