Charlotte, it's what somebody from New York or L.A. would say is a small town, but it isn't. It's right in between being a small town and a city. It's more of a city.
Charlotte means a lot to me. This city has embraced me - allowed me to be who I am, allowed me to grow as a man.
It's amazing now the amount of love we get around this city from all the Hornets' fans. Growing up, you really don't understand it. Now I'm really starting to realize what Hornets means here in Charlotte.
I love Charlotte. I'm more reserved and calm and laid back, and this city is slow.
Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm.
City people make most of the fuss about the charms of country life.
For more than a century, New York City has been home to a constellation of department stores whose openings, closings, and transformations have charted the fortunes and foibles of the city itself.
There was a hole in Washington fiction, I felt, when I started out. Most D.C. novels were about politics or the federal city or people who lived in Georgetown or Chevy Chase - it was definitely a very narrow focus.
With 'The Chi,' it's me observing my own city and also pulling some things from themes I've dealt with in my life.
Like 'Sex and the City' - if you're a New Yorker, you knew half the places they were going to. I want 'The Chi' to feel that way as well.
I have struck a city - a real city - and they call it Chicago... I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages.
Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
Fighting crime requires a partnership between the police and the community. And we all know that this partnership has been tested in Chicago. It is a problem that has festered in this city for decades.
As big a problem as gun violence is for Chicago, it is not beyond our ability to solve. Ending this string of tragedies is our top priority as a city. We are infusing our police department with the manpower, technology and training to meet this challenge head on.
No citizen is a second class citizen in the city of Chicago. If my children are treated one way, every child is treated the same way.
In California, I'm more of a beach chick, and I kind of take on a model city girl when I'm in New York.
If I paid more attention to my appearance, people might think that the proficiency of design industry isn't too bad in a city with such a chief executive.
When you play the Oakland Raiders when you're the Kansas City Chiefs, you know they're going to come out with that mentality that they're going to win. They're going to come out fighting. It's a rivalry game.
I like being... in Kansas City. People are extremely nice, extremely passionate about the Chiefs.
You want to be drafted high, but to be drafted high into an organization like the Kansas City Chiefs, it's like a dream to me.
