I remember a seriously quiet place.

I remember the chocolate, …

… the shops: some with bullet-proof glass …

… some more mundane.

I remember people walking their dogs, …

… well dressed …

… and enjoying prosperity.

I remember the streets …

… the skyline …

… and the value of parking space.

I remember the schools, …

… the refreshments, …

… and the arts.

I remember the elegance …

… and power of knowledge.
