		<title>Fake America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a big realization this morning about all the &#8220;real America&#8221; statements coming from the Right lately. How can you claim that some people are real and good and other people are unpatriotic and bad and then seek a job where you are supposed to be working for all people&#8217;s best interests. And since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jon Stewart stands up to Palin&#8217;s Small Mindedness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation.&#8221; &#8211; Sara Palin, October 16, 2008

		<title>Big-City Values in Boston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love visiting cities; there are always new, innovative programs to discover. When visiting a new city, I try to take public transportation if possible. I had a lot of bags this time and couldn&#8217;t find a shared shuttle at the airport to take me to my hotel. I resigned myself to the fact that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Small Town City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I live in a suburb of a &#8217;small town city.&#8217; This, in reality, is a city created from a small town and happened when the population reached a particular number of citizens. 
This method of &#8216;planning&#8217; a city has its benefits, not the least being that there are no high rise buildings in my city. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A day (and a half) in the big city</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up this morning to my housemate knocking on my door saying &#8220;your friend is here to work on the porch&#8221;. I ambled sleepily downstairs and greeted my friend. I met him in my neighbourhood about a year ago and he is just about the nicest guy. He is working on our porch on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neighborhoods = &#8220;small town&#8221; community values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When people talk about the community and closeness that they get from a small town, I think that I have that in the big city &#8212; and a lot more people get to experience it here than would in a small town. Philadelphia is known as a &#8220;city of neighborhoods,&#8221; but all cities are, really. [...]]]></description>
