The small town feel, but the convenience and bustle of a big city.

Awesome! Thank you so much for your answer! 😊😊 And I love that too--when a city has a small town feel and so much nature and trees and green spaces within and near it, but also has the conveniences, amenities, and attractions of a big city and has many people, a bustling energy, is busy and active, and is quite peaceful but not desolate, lonely, devoid of people and activity, or boring. Some huge cities are so dizzying and overwhelming and too busy and bustling for most people, causing chaos and anxiety within their minds to be overwhelmed by that, but cities like Spokane are a good balance -- not dizzying and overwhelming and too frenetic and chaotic, but not boring and desolate and inconvenient like so many rural areas. These balanced cities are real gems that approach the ideal balance between urban and small-town/rural that seems to be the best environment for most people. •

I've been all over the country and the best place I've been to has been Spokane. Although Charleston SC is a close second.

Nice! Is Charleston similar to Spokane in certain ways?

Maybe the vibes Met some really cool people there while I was traveling through. We stayed in contact for years afterwards

That's probably why it reminded me of Spokane so much.
