Big City, Little City

Sometimes I forget that I live in the 3rd most populous city in the US.  3.5 million residents stuffed into 237 square miles.  But I often feel like I live in a little city.  I walk to work, to the grocery store, to the salon, to the lake, to the pet store, and to church.  I take the bus a little further to volleyball.  But most of my life happens in about a 1-mile radius of my apartment.  I run into the same people every day, stop at the same Walgreens most of the time, and order takeout from mostly the same restaurants.  I have a little community here, but every now and then, I see massive apartment buildings with hundreds of units, like these:

How many people can we fit into one building?  That looks like about as many people as live in Muncie, IN!  So although I know in my head that this city is humongous, it still feels like a small town. My cute little small town. :)
