Google Street View: Favorite Urban and Favorite 'Nature' Part of your city (home, neighborhood)

I'll start! I live in San Francisco. The dense streets of Nob Hill are my favorite urban part of the City.

My favorite 'nature-y' part of SF is Ocean Beach.

Here's my pick for Philly:

Urban: Rittenhouse Square. This street view doesn't capture all of its urban beauty, but I love Rittenhouse Square for its vibrancy and architecture.

Natural: Schuylkill River Trail near Manayunk I love this part of North Philadelphia for its nature. The terrain, with its rolling hills and bluffs along the river are the closest thing I have to home (I grew up in Upstate NY in the foothills of the Appalachians).

In Atlanta, I love the intersection of 15th and Peachtree, the 'front door' of the beautiful Ansley Park neighborhood.

For a natural landscape, I love the Olmstead Chain of Parks that snake their way through the Druid Hills neighborhood.

Rittenhouse Square look stunning and I didn't realize that Atlanta had pockets of density like that!

My favorite natural spot in LA I recently found this place in the Hollywood hills that has a very clear view of the LA basin, it feels like a forest going up there so i consider it natural.

Favorite natural spot in the city is a pretty clear winner with the whole of Forest Park.

However, the Botanical Garden is also up there

If you meant natural spot in the metro, I'd pick the view from the hike in Castlewood State Park.
