My city is a tiny one located near Athens. It's quite beautiful but it's not a place to live as it's also quite boring ^^

I disagree. New York, Chicago, and LA are all considerably different from one another.

How your picture of L.A. looks like it could be New York. Just a bunch of skyscapers close together.

That's Atlanta, GA.

And there's also Athens, GA (home of R.E.M.)

Funny, that Dark Prince just mentioned the real Athens.

Now who doesn't love Greece, beautiful country and birthplace of democracy.

But many people seem to think so nowadays of their own country. Just look at all the UK depression here in this off-topic forum. It's sad.

Los Angeles has virtually no real "downtown" used for anything other than offices and all the architecture is vastly different once you look past the skyscrapers.

Traditional California architecture is unlike anything I have seen anywhere else.
