I never learned about the buildings or the history, and I never visited some of the great places around campus. It applies to those of us not in college anymore as well. If you are a transplant to a city, how much do you know about it? How much have you explored?

Dumb Little Man had a take on the cup half-full/half-empty in “The Ancient Method For Creating A Life of Abundance | Dumb Little Man“:
