futurebird , 1 month ago NYC pretends to be a modern city. But really we are still a place with fishmongers and cutlers. Cabarets and speakeasies. The cutler’s flier advertises when he will bring around his grindstone. (gotta remember my knives that day)

carrideen , 1 month ago @futurebird To be fair, Tokyo is an even more modern city that has all these things too. I think maybe if a place doesn't have them, they can't be called a city.
