Thanks for posting!

As a (part-time) resident of Gothenburg, this article doesn’t do the city justice! It has been a wonderful city to live in for 25 years now. Yes it has its problems - like Muslim and East African immigrants, but it is a very livable city.

A great walking city. Great museums. Great harbor. Plenty of things to do.

And in the summer, 22 hours of daylight at its peak.

I am so happy I chose a place in the center of town, it is my escape from American hustle and bustle even though I work harder there than anywhere else.

We camped in Göteborg in early July, 1962, as part of a trip by car through Scandinavia. In those days, Swedes were still driving on the left side of the road, but we managed to go by car from Helsingborg to Stockholm, then over to Oslo, and finally back to Sweden, where we caught a ferry to Denmark.

It never got dark at night. Russians who live at the same latitude call that time of the year the White Nights.
