Going to see what this dickens tour is.

Well 'a' Dickens Tour, not 'the' Dickens tour.

I rather like Dickens' works itself. He is also synonymous with a specific London. Dark, broody, Victorian. I'd love to be guided around by a guide (book or person) in this London. Not in the footsteps of the man himself, but in the London of his age.

If this London doesn't live in your imagination, it might not be all that interesting. Then again, perhaps it is, and you can get caught up in it.

Gorgeous.

American cities shouldn't look European. Europe already exists. US cities ought to be bustling, energetic, constantly reinventing themselves. And of course, full of skyscrapers - temples of capitalism reaching out to the heavens as much as the church towers of Mediaeval Europe before them.
