In college I had an apartment where you could climb out the living room window onto the rooftop of the city block I lived on. It had a great view of the downtown nightlife and no other apartments on the block had the same access. I could wander the rooftops of an entire city block. It was my own urban oasis. And it was awesome.

This coming from someone who grew up in, and is most comfortable in, the Northwoods.
