1.) Maybe not unreal but certainly almost unrivaled(for a mid-sized American city).
2.) This is VERY common amongst tourists/newbies. What people don't understand is that the Pearl is for the "most" part an actual, functioning urban neighborhood. It is NOT designed to be an entertainment/shopping/dining district...it just HAPPENS to have sprinkles of all that...which a good urban neighborhood SHOULD. Urban neighborhoods (like the Pearl) should be the norm NOT the exception.
I'm sorry to hear about the school not being up to par. I hope your time was enjoyed.
