I know little of black holes - but I don't think size matters.

Actually, it does, depending on what you want to do with it.

I think you can fall into a gigantic black hole, at least for a "while", before you run into all the stuff that's trying to get out.

OTOH, falling into a typical black hole will have you stretched, and pulled apart down to the particle level relatively quickly.

Actually, I think you're describing the typical American city.
Also, my take is once you're in, you're in. No signs like ...

Subtle. Well played.
