I'm going to chime in again to agree with Jacqui -- esp re: less detail on The City being helpful. I feel like when there's too much detail, sometimes I feel paralyzed and afraid to make a mistake because I don't actually know the city as well as someone who lives there does. Also! I really enjoy Googling shit and incorporating it. LOL. So sometimes just a rough framework to hang things on is fun.
Also agree re: original creations conversely needing that detail. Maps, man. I love maps. Remember that map we had of the boarding house on Chicago? THAT WAS AWESOME. And I promise I'm not necessarily bringing that up to try to force another boarding house on Denver (though ... that would also be awesome). I'm just using it as an example because... well, then all of a sudden you could do things like: have scenes where someone overhears someone else because they're next door to their room. Or someone walking down the hall toward some destination would necessarily pass by someone else because of how things were situated.
And stuff. *out of steam* I JUST AGREE.

BECAUSE OF LIGHT AND DUTY AND REASONS.
