Enough with the facts my feelings are all that is real
Where are your facts? Because it's awfully hilarious you say that feelings are all that is real, when really feelings are all that is real to you.
"It feels like we have parking so this is fine".
Here are some actual facts: Europe has larger stadiums that hold more people and don't have giant parking lots 12x the size of the area they serve.
Parking lots are stupid, and big parking lot cities in the US are stupid. Enough with your feelings
We have a pretty sweet stadium in downtown Portland. It only holds like 22k give or take, but there's no parking lots and light rail service is basically across the street, so we get a real old-world vibe there. Plus the Timbers Army is probably the biggest and most well-organized supporters group in anglophone North America. A Timbers match is definitely worth the price of admission if you ever get a chance to visit. Preferably on a rainy weeknight if you want the real Pacific Northwest experience.
Tell me where I said
"t feels like we have parking so this is fine”.
Or you can admit you do not care or know what "" means. We both know what you will do.
The comment you are supporting is saying that dummy.
And yeah I paraphrased in quotes, this isnt a fucking article and I'm not a journalist.
What's funny is that's all you found as a rebuttal and you're still here talking about your feelings, not facts.
No.
Christmas markets in the US are barely more than a themed Farmer's market.
Oh no the horror! I won't be able to get vegetables that look funny for more money than a supermarket.
How are European ones different?
For one they are much larger in size, which is the whole argument here. They do civil engineering and public transport better.
They have much more tradition. Having been to many on both continents, the ones in the Americas are much more of a money grab than a celebration.
In Europe it's a bunch of people standing by stalls eating their favorite seasonal/traditional food listening to music and chilling around with family, not buying local goods/stuff. That's for tourists.
In the Americas it's long lines of people, moving them through and out of the market after they purchased outrageously priced common food items slapped with some sort of german/chistmas/winter spin to it. Minimal decoration and theme to call it a Christmas market.
I'm not European btw
For one, Christmas markets in countries that traditionally do them are significantly larger. The largest ones in the US would be a mid size one in Berlin.
Tbf Berlin is likely to be the largest one, right?
There are like 50 in Berlin alone.
