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?

Thank you Lilian

I know, but it is a piece of song and -believe me- it says so. God knows what the writer was thinking while writing these lines

"anymore" can be better instate of "now".

"Anymore" usually used in a negative sentence.

Yes it is.
this city is different than before and in negative way.

But it doesn't say "bu şehir eskiden olduğundan farklı", so we can't say "this city is different than before".

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"

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".

OK then let's wait and see what other people will say. Then accordingly we could make changes -if needed. Is it possible Lilian?
