Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Denver, CO Convenient link, because I don't know much about the city, despite being here most of my life. Erm, I know it doesn't really suck here, I can offer you that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Technically Halifax, Nova Scotia, but not really... See, I live outside of the actual city itself, but not too long ago, someone decided that "Halifax" should be made up of the city, and all of the surrounding areas, whether or not they happen to be even remotely a city. The '96 census pegs us at 384,613 people, but there's not that many people in the city itself, again. Pros: 3 pizza shops on a single corner, one of the very few places here that you can buy an actual donair (The process of cooking the meat doesn't pass health standards in most provinces, but DAMN IT'S GOOD) I believe we have like, more bars per capita then any other city in Canada, but I could be wrong. Bottom line, lot of bars. Fairly safe place too, if you're in the right part of the city. Oh, and disgustingly oversized foods. You can get a single slice of pizza so large that you could apparantly hold it over your computer monitor, and your whole monitor would be blocked from sight. Pretty decent indy wrestling circut, considering. And it's just a really nice-looking city, I think. Cons: DISGUSTING tuition fees. It'd actually be cheaper for me to move to BC, live in residence, and go to university there then it is to live at home and go to university here. No decent bands ever tour through here anymore, and living outside the city means it's about a 20 minute drive, at least, to do anything. All in all, not a bad place, and I like it just fine. And if you so desire, our city's webpage is located here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Miss Indy Queen Report post Posted February 6, 2003 I currently live in Toronto but I still consider Pleasantville, New York to be my hometown. It's a pretty small quiet town. School was fun since it there were only like 400-500 kids in the whole school. We have 3 pizza places and tons of nail salons and it's a really kickass town. Bronx, New York Not much to say about The Bronx that people don't know about it. I spend most of my time in Manhattan because of work and when I go out. I actually lived in Pleasantville, NY for my 4 years of college up there. You forgot to mention the chinese restaurants as well as all the bars around there. It's very quiet up there compared to living in the city but it's a great place to just get away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted February 6, 2003 I'm too lazy to look up Montreal's (my real hometown) website, so I'll just provide a link to NYC.gov instead (I'm not a spy, Barron). I live in Manhattan, and spend half the time at home, and half in my own apartment. Pros: lots of things to do, see, eat; you can find pretty much everything here, except for Canadian junk food (candy and poutine); big WWE fanbase; don't really need a driver's license. This is boring, everyone already knows everything about this place. Cons: everything costs too much, strip clubs all suck now, terrorists like to prove themselves here Ah, fuck it, I'll do Montreal too: http://www.montreal.com/ Pros: All the Canadian junk food & chain restaurants you could want. Awesome strip clubs. Cool underground shopping malls. Quiet subway cars that sing that three-note tune; interesting subway station architecture; nice place to get away from NYC; Movie theatres are cheap. Much safer than NY. Also has big WWE fanbase. Fans chant cool stuff during TV tapings/PPVs. Cons: Shitty dollar. French required. I haven't been back there in like 6 years, so I don't really remember a lot of bad stuff.

Guest EricMM Report post Posted February 6, 2003 College Park, MD. Home of the Maryland Terrapins. pretty much DC if you don't know the area, therefore, I probably live in a top 5 most multiethnic place. Like maybe FL, CA, NY, and such are more. But in terms of COLLEGE PARK we seem to have 50% Jersey kids. Does Rutgers suck that much? It's a shitty college town, with exactly 4 bars. Everyone just goes into DC or maybe Baltimore. We also have the most efficent meter maids in the western hemisphere, dammit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Parsonsburg, MD - Population 2,407 (I laugh at that number..they must have counted the 500 cows that are across the road) Its in Maryland, but for all basic purposes its on the wrong side (the Eastern Shore) and the only reasons anyone from Western Maryland (Annapolis/Baltimore/Washington DC side) comes this way is for Ocean City (Which I hardly do..) or to go to Delaware for TAX FREE SHOPPING! (which I do a lot myself, but its only about 10 minutes away at the most as well). The most famous person from this area is probably Frank Perdue (The Chicken man)..Perdue Corporate World headquarters are in Salisbury.. In Parsonsburg there is a post office, a gas station, a small store that sells a bunch of stuff at a rediculous prices, a couple of churches and a bunch of cows and chickens. If you ever go to Ocean City MD, chances are you pass right by (or even through) my little town without probably even noticing. I live about 10 minutes or so from Salisbury although it seems like its further than that. About halfway between Parsonsburg and Salisbury is Arthur W. Perdue Stadium where the Baltimore Orioles Class A affiliate Delmarva Shorebirds play. Thats that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Moshannon, PA. Population is less than 400. Only things in town are a bar, a small convenience store, a post office, and my mom's little ice cream/pizza/food shop. When you lump it in with Snow Shoe Township, like everybody outside of the town does, the population is about 1700, plus 700 in Snow Shoe Borough, which has a bank, liquor store, a couple pizza shops, two gas stations, a few churches. There's really nothing around here to do. State College, home of Penn State, is about 45 minutes away, which has the closest Wal Mart and mall. But Penn State blows. Ah, hell, I'll probably end up working there after I graduate. But I hopefully won't stay long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted February 7, 2003 I currently reside in Cape Coral, Florida, it's not all old folks, it's kind of a young town. Next to Cape Coral is Fort Myers, AKA ghetto-without-a-cause-ville. Ft. Myers is pretty much where the action is. There are two malls (one of which I work at), my college, and a plethora of various retail junkets. Best Buy, TRU, Target, WalMart, etc. can be found on Route 41, or as the locals call it, "41." Smart folks, they are. PROS about Cape Coral: Quiet, except for my pissant asshole FUCKTARD neighbors, relatively clean. CONS about Cape Coral: Not much to do. On one street alone there are 5 pharmacies (Walgreens (2), Eckerd (1), Albertson's (2)), so we have that covered. Other than getting prescriptions filled, you can go bowling, go play pool, or go to Greenwell's Family Fun Park! Owned (or used to be, I can't remember) by former Red Sox great Mike Greenwell, the man who seemingly disappeared off the face of the fucking planet. I used to live in Attleboro, Massachusetts. That's right, like KingPK, Corey, and converge, I used to be a Masshole. Attleboro was/is a little podunk craphole bordering Pawtucket, RI. As much as I bash it, I really miss it up there.

Guest BorneAgain Report post Posted February 8, 2003 Bloomington, Indiana. Pros: Nice college town, a lot of diversity and a pretty clean area. Cons: The fact that our diversity is made up of hippies, goths, and in some cases, ultra-conservatives. Second con is the fucked up weather that causes it to snow one week and then produce 60 degree tempretures the next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DerangedHermit Report post Posted February 8, 2003 I live in Bellport, NY. It's in Suffolk County on Long Island. There are about 10,000-12,000 in the town, although it really is split into three parts: - Bellport Village - The yuppie part of the town. Everyone drives a damn SUV, and there are several restaurants of varying prices and styles in this area. It's about 2 miles wide, and the north-south part lasts from a local road (north) to the Great South Bay (south). The middle school in the district is located here, as is one of the three elementary schools. - North Bellport - North-south boundaries last from the village to Sunrise Highway. It is the ghetto part of Bellport, home to low-income housing and most of your minorities. One of the two Spicy's (an awesome chicken and fish joint) on Long Island is located on Station Road here, as well as the intermediate school. - Bellport (Around the outlet center) - North-south boundaries last from Sunrise to Woodside Avenue. Consists of four middle-class developments and the Bellport Outlet Center. I live in this part, although the Outlet Center is outclassed by Smithhaven Mall and another outlet center about 15 miles away in Riverhead. It is surrounded by East Patchogue to the west, Brookhaven to the east, and Medford to the north-west, and Yaphank to the north-east. Pros: I live so close to Sunrise Highway and the Outlet Center. The school district isn't that bad. Cons: You have to go to other towns to get anything done, as it is very boring. Famous People: - Randy Smith: the former record-holder of consecutive games played in the NBA until A.C. Green broke his record in '97. - E.B. White spent several summers in the village as a kid. - Neal Heaton, former baseball pitcher, lives in the school district. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
