The Culture Of Your City


Every city has it's own culture. In many ways, each city has it's own unique culture. From the restaurants to the special parades, and professional teams. People are very much part of the culture as well. There are a lot of elements that play into the culture of cities.

For every city I've been too. I always, try to get a sense of the culture. For example, in Los Angeles great weather, super expense, overwhelming traffic. Not to mention Kodak theater, Lakers, all the celebs that call LA home. All these elements make LA, LA. From the Venice beach to Rodeo Drive. LA is unique in its own way. LA is huge, a great city to visit. Lots of culture and a sought out vacation for many across the global. I could go on, but one blog could not explain all of LA.

For certain cities I have a better grasp of the culture, like my home San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio is a city that is often forgotten. A city that is spread out, has a rich Mexican culture. Also you get some European culture outside of SA in the hill country. The Spurs are part of culture as well, how can I forget the Alamo, the River Walk. SA is also the most visited city in Texas. Its a big city with a small town feel.

The point is all cities have a culture that they are know for.....

Los Angeles- Land of the celebs.
New York City- Capital of the world.
New Orleans- Mardi Gras.
Miami- South Beach.
San Antonio- The Alamo City.
Washington D.C.- White House.

Culture is all around us, we see it, feel it. Every city presents something different...

So what's the culture of your city?
