Everywhere I go there's a creepy vibe these days. The evenings are the worst. It's way too quiet. It's as if nobody is moving around, everything is so still you xan hear a pin drop a mile away. What's up with this? Sometimes I feel like there has been alot of death,more than we are aware. There's way less people I believe.

The word you may be thinking of is "brooding". You have the 400-year-old history, the parties, the masses of friendly crowds, the crazy mixed drinks, and the great food. But the gut-level vibe is more like Central Florida than Miami. That is: homey, down-to-earth, and slightly trashy. A place that caters to Nascar fans, but welcomes New York tourists too. And that's not a bad thing. Not all party towns should be all super-flashy.

Welch, WV, and Syracuse, NY. I spent a few days in Welch and have never felt anything like it. The sheer sense of isolation and... I'm not really sure what. Not just poverty; I've lived in and visited many depressed, poverty-stricken areas. And not just isolation; I've been to the rural West and didn't feel that way. It was some special mix of heavy isolation, literal shadow from the mountains (it's in a deep and jagged valley), and despair.

Syracuse because I went for a job interview there and toured the city to see what I thought. What an odd vibe. It felt flat in a way that other upstate NY cities don't feel to me. I rejected the job because I couldn't imagine feeling settled there.
