New Cities/New Soviets

'tis the season

I don't really think New York is designed for this season. It just doesn't have the right kind of spaces to resonate with the mood, the right spaces to fulfil the necessary social functions. So everyone walks around in muted daze, even on beautiful days like today.

It gets dark really freakin' early, and there's no-where to go. You don't want to be deep indoors, like in the winter, but you sure as hell don't want to just wander around the dim streets. The shopping frenzy christmas cheer isn't really kicking in yet, so it's all just kinda...glum.

We could be setting the stage for a good winter, setting up jobs for the small days of December and January. Instead, a lot of people end up just getting depressed; even troopers like me and Mol struggle.
