The City & nice touch
Hi guys,
In the follwing dialogue, what do you think "the City" means?
Downtown or Chicago city?
Because the first letter "C" is capitalized so...I'm not sure which interpretation is better or more proper.
And as for "nice touch", in this case, does "touch" mean "some trait or effect that makes it better" or "taste"?
If you have any idea about that, would you explain some here for me?
It will be much appreciated.
Thank you~!
