Are the older parts of town "greener"? Is there more life in them? Maybe it just looks so deserty where you are because it hasn't been irrigated for as long or something?
I grew up around farms (midwest) and the idea of not having them near is also pretty weird. Does anything grow out there? Are food prices insane?
Having the mountains close sounds pretty neat, I love mountains. At least you guys get some snow, or that would quite literally be maddening to have no seasonal changes whatsoever. Is it greener near the river?
