Here we often don’t know where towns start and end with long highways full of strip malls. There is uniformity in town landscapes – with the same drug stores from New York to Los Angeles, the same grocery chains, the same restaurants. Since my first trip to England when I was 13, I have been an anglophile – I love it there.
