Hey GrayViners!
What a weekend! My family and I just celebrated my mom’s birthday, and we went all out—good food, big laughs, and a restaurant with the kind of view that makes you stop and just take it all in. It got me thinking about how much a beautiful view can lift your spirits.
So here’s what I want to know: Which view do you prefer more—bright city lights at night, or a mountain view during the day? Are you the type who loves the glow of the skyline and the hum of life below, or do you find peace in wide-open skies and rolling hills?

As for me, I’ve always been a sucker for city lights. There’s just something magical about watching them twinkle from a distance—like the world is quietly awake, waiting for the next story to unfold.
How about you? Let’s hear it below!
Cheers!

There’s something truly special about mountain views — they look majestic in daylight and feel almost magical under the stars. Do you get to enjoy mountain views often, or is it more of a holiday treat for you?
Growing up in Manhattan must have given you such a unique appreciation for city lights — there’s nothing quite like that skyline at night! Do you ever miss the buzz of the city, or are you happier watching the lights from afar these days?
A peaceful mountain view sounds absolutely perfect — nothing beats that sense of calm and fresh air. Do you have a favorite mountain or nature spot that brings you that kind of peace?
That’s such a lovely balance — the sparkle of city lights at Christmas and the beauty of the mountains in autumn really do capture the best of both worlds. Do you have a favorite memory of either a Christmas city scene or a cozy mountain getaway?
The peacefulness of the mountains is hard to beat — just the sound of the breeze and birds can be so calming. Do you enjoy hiking or simply relaxing and taking in the view when you’re up in the mountains?
