Only in the city can you arrange to meet someone at your church to practice for choir, and when you're finished, end up walking across the street to meet up with other friends at Forest Park to watch a hot air balloon race.
Then when you drive home, only if you live in the city would you end up following the path of the balloons and park your car only to find that there are a dozen hot air balloons directly above your head as you walk into your apartment building.
And only in the city would the following day bring a bike race that blocks off (without formal notice) the two streets necessary to enter and exit your apartment building and parking lot... leaving you homeless or imprisoned from 12pm-4pm.
Only in the city...
...it's really all quite fascinating to the girl who grew up in the endless suburbs of California.
