| |  Hi Handyy, it's good to see you. 
"Trucks carry melons, I always think of you" ??? 
That's not a very romantic statement, is it?  |

I really can't understand what is wrong with "now"  |

| | What about: "This city is not the same anymore"?
Too long? Perhaps simply: "This city has changed" |

handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | Lilian, "Now this city is different" is neither grammatically nor semantically wrong. So I prefer to make it stay as it is, if is not a problem. ?? |

| | I didn't say it was wrong, I was just trying to find an alternative to please everyone.  |

| | I agree with lilian,
The meaning is more better with "This city is not the same anymore". |
