Inspired by Steph...describe your town!

[RandyGal]

Steph says she lives in the "armpit" of Canada....what a great description! :D


Another new member here says she lives in the "shithole of the world"....and I was certain I lived there. Go figure.

If you could describe your town in one word or a short phrase, what would it be?

Would it be flattering or would it be tragically berift of kind sentiments??


When people ask me where I live, I very often just tell them I live in Hell.
:eek: :D

[Lilith]

~south of hell~:D:D:p

actually they say "Tallahassee, Florida with a southern accent"

[scotzoidman]

Music City USA...the Athens of the South...home of the Batman Building ;)

[Saddaddy]

Bayboro, N.C. "Gateway to The Pamlico Sound"

[GermanSteve]

My town is Germany´s biggest village (with more than 1.5 million people).

[dicksbro]

It's a great place to live. Beautiful homes and very nice people.

[SOULMINER]

Small New England town in the Monadnock Region...Very quaint, very picturesque. Library, general store, town green with Old Meeting house...that's pretty much it!!! Can't wait for autumn's beauty to arrive...

[Lovediva]

I am in a small town in Ontario and the only thing I can think to say about it is.....BORING!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing exciting to do after 9pm...LOL...unless you go to the local female strip club or bingo...(yuck)...I hate bingo!

[Steph]

LOLOL Diva, I, too, am living in a tiny, puritan Ontario town. The townspeople know everything about you (or think they do). Main St. is dead after 5 p.m. and everyone sees to be married straight from the womb! The average age is about 50 because the young people leave.

I came here to gain experience at the newspaper and won't miss it when I leave at the end of the month for Toronto!

[black rose]

well, i'm the new member who describes my town as the shithole of the world, so i'm gonna stick with that!!

[jjjjbo]

I work in that quaint place where the swallows return every year - San Juan Capistrano. ..... and I love it here!!!!

[Bilbo]

Quite like our City

Australias Garden Capital

[Nikki]

I live on the coast of Western Australia and the smell of the ocean, the view.........the everything about it is awesome........I love it.....

[skipthisone]

I live in central Illinios in a small town where i swear sometimes they could have filmed deliverence when i see some of the people...it is a boomin little town with the one and only business being the Soda Pop Machine in front of the post office.

[Devillishgirl]

Conservative, Christian-Reformed Heaven.....that's just the side we show to strangers, the underbelly is something more like out of an Absolutely Fabulous show.

[quisath]

Austin is very Busy................but it's a whole lot of FUN. Music of every Genre you can think of and some really unique resturants. If you ever get a chance to visit.........don't hesitate. I'm not trying to sound partial either, thats just the way it is.

[RandyGal]

I'm envious of you guys...it sounds like MOST of you live in wonderful communities that you love.

I have lived here for 25 years and the ONLY reason I stay is because I'm married. I never knew I could detest an area as much as I do this one.....

the people, the attitudes about EVERYTHING, the hostility toward life and creativity just snuffs my very being.

Some day.
I will move away some day. :)
THIS is NOT forever....at least that's what I tell myself. :D

[mike10942]

We live in the country in the mountains.
Soooooo... "quiet" would describe it.
But for excitement, once a week we go to town to check the mail and get gas and groceries (1 place for each of those).

[eliza261]

I Grew up in a small town on the west coast of canada where the nearest city ( where i live now) was 5 hours away..
i Grew in logger centeral ( not that there is anything wrong with that
now i live in the city and it kicks ass!!!
but the whole of Vancouver island is so beautiful.. first class!
EH!

[Steph]

I live in Toronto now and it kicks ass! Multicutural, wonderful food, great music, art . . .

[Grumble]

I live in Launceston, Tasmania's Garden City. Many lovely parks and the spectacular and natural Caract Gorge only a few minutes walk from the City Centre. Well know for excellence in dining and has a world renown brewing company as well as many boutique vineyards in the district making a variety of high quality wines.

Then of course there are the people, known for friendliness and hospitality...................

[LixyChick]

I live in Pa. Dutch country! We go cow tipping for major giggles......but one can only take so much fun so we save that for when we are really bored!

I have to travel 2 miles in any direction just to get a pack of gum.....(I'm not gonna tell ya how far we have to go for a pair of underwear....but it's much further!)....but this way I get to eye up the cows in the pastures.........so it isn't a wasted trip!

People round here talk backwards........like, "Throw mamma down the steps....(pregnant pause)....her purse"......or, Toss the cow over the fence....(pregnant pause).....some hay". It took me a long time to learn to wait out the pauses before I panicked as to instructions! Now I prolly fit right in.........(pause)........NOT!

I was born in Camden, N.J. (southern N.J. ya'll....lol!)........and I usually refer to that as the "pimple on the asshole of the world".........so maybe I'm a bit upscale from that now! I do know I wouldn't want to live in a big city though....so I guess I'm where I wanna be!

[PantyFanatic]

My ancestors came to Cleveland because when they got to New York, they loved the crime and poverty, it just wasn’t cold enough.

[CunningLinguist]

An overgrown jungle chocking on the toxic fumes of local industry. We are only 30 minutes away form the asshole of America, Louisiana.

[Scarecrow]

Lixy, I live on the edge of Illinois Amish country. Just hold your nose when passing this way.

[osuche]

I live in what used to be the 7th fattest city in the US. Now I think it's #11. But either way, people like things BIG here -- big cars, big asses, big meals, big tummies, big desserts, big hips...

And the list just keeps on getting bigger...

[dancingrugger]

Glen Burnie ... Combining Redneck and Ghetto in ways never intended by mother nature. Its a sight, thats for sure. My neighborhood is actually almost exactly the geographic center of the triangle formed between Washington DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis though, so thats cool beans.

[pyrokittie]

hmmm my town is called mayberry more than it is mt airy...
i call it andyville , with a hint of sarcasim of course.
andy griffith is from here, and we're bankin on it now...
"...and now, for only $5.50 at walmart you can get 2 episodes of the andy griffith show on dvd..."

[Irish]

Boring---It's near alot of more lively places,so that's good.Our
personal property,is quite large,so we really don't go that many
places.When you get older,you don't go for the "limelight"as much
Irish
P.S.As an old friend,once said to me,"When we were younger,we
had a reputation,of being real"bad-asses"Now no-one knows us,
& we have enough sense,not to do the crazy,things that we used
to do!"He was right!It's nice to just stay in the "boonies"now.It's
also nice to awnser the phone here,without wondering,what the
cops said you did now!

[vampeyes]

I live 20 miles past the edge of the earth!!! better known as Watertown, SD. The entire state has around 750,000 people so its less than the city of Detroit...

[katekate42]

"Armpit" isn't quite as strong as it should be to describe my hometown. More like "Buckle of the Biblebelt" or "Taint of the South." Actually, my hometown is a very quiet suburb of a larger town in TN where I go to college. Everyone knows everyone here, and so it's a very conservative, gossipy kind of town. Overall it's a nice place to grow up, but also a nice place to leave once you decide to become even slightly open-minded :)

[Mor Rioghan]

The town that I live in has its own casino...a train track that screws everyone when they really need to get to the next town...where the greatest thing is that we don't live too far from another town that has more to offer...and the worse thing is the closed-mindedness of anyone who is younger than 45, unless they are open-minded b/c of their sexual orientation.

Yeah, that about sums it up on the whole scale of things....

[Mae]

Albuquerque. Still learning my way around and discovering things. Would love to live in a small village near here. It's been around since, I think, the early 1700's? Lived in Las Vegas for 17 years. Hated every minute. Glad to have left it. The people here are friendlier. They even smile at your dogs. :) Here, the weather, rather than the people, are cold. :)

[lakritze]

What could I say that Randy Newman hasn't already put to words.....I Love L.A.

[Summer]

Mine town could be summed up in two words
"SNOW BIRDS".
This town is fairly small except from Oct./Nov until Mar./Apr when all these "Snow Birds" come down and nest. The speed limit on most roads drop to half the speed you could go and automobile wrecks triple.
Oh yeah and can't forget the racing. In March the town booms again in size due to THIS! (http://www.sebringraceway.com/index.html)

[smithy020]

Well, the town i live in is a New town, One of 7 built in scotland after the 2nd world war for the over spill from glasgow and edinburgh, we'er only 13miles from edinburgh and maybe 30 form glasgow, theres Bout 40,000 people and growing, we have a large shopping center (mall) and a football team (soccer).
