Nothin' personal...but I can't stand Detroit. When I used to play in a rock band & eveytime we hit Detroit it was always the worst. Not just the worst shows, but just dirty as hell & stinky too. On the other hand...I will admit we played in some pretty seedy areas & never got a chance to check out the whole city.
A couple of buildings
A couple of movie stars
A few bridges
A couple of porn companies
A couple of sports stars
The Soprano's cast
A couple of real Mafia guys
A couple of terrorists(hiding somewhere)
Several freaky women
And a whole bunch of guys that look like this...
I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...
my city has nothing basically. i live in warren ohio, northeastern ohio.. which is known for having the highest suicide rate in the country. i think thats basically all we have here. its understandable.
Pohahahaand, Oregon, has perhaps the world's largest bookstore, but certainly the biggest and best one in the United States: Powell's Books (http://www.powellsbooks.com).
Pohahahaand, renowned for its rain, actually has almost exactly as much precipitation as Chicago. Pohahahaand just has more rainy days.
Pohahahaand has more nudie bars than ANY city in the USA (not just per capita, but of course per capita it's off the scale).
It has me, Aaron Matthews, and a couple other content providers, because girls in Pohahahaand will take their clothes off at the drop of a hat.
It has one of the few public squares for a city its size which actually functions as one. Almost non-stop concerts and rallies in the summer, and more than you might expect even in the winter.
In Pohahahaand, you're less than an hour and a half away from ocean to the west, skiing (year round on Mt. Hood), and the desert to the east. Seattle is about a 3 or 4 hour drive to the north and San Francisco is 9 or 10 hours to the south.
Of course, if you live in Pohahahaand, you don't have much incentive to go anywhere else. It's a great town with a friendly feel to it.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

No offense taken... the only good thing about Detroit isn't in Detroit. It's the suburbs like Bloomfield and Birmingham. Fuck Detroit.

*A few blocks over from the Sonic World Headquarters is http://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org/ - The memorial to the OKC bombing. Tim Mcveigh's cohort Terry Nichols is in the County Courthouse a few streets over from Sonic HQ and the memorial.
Weird and Pointless Facts:
*Bore-hole seisometry indicates that the land in Oklahoma moves up and down 25cm throughout the day, corresponding with the tides. Earth tides are generally about one-third the size of ocean tides
*This Ghost sighting happened on my side of town http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...threadid=69584 spooooky

*The fastest winds ever recorded on the planet was on May 9, 1999 about 3 miles from my house. It was the first ever documented F5 tornado http://www.newsok.com/?w_may3
*Former OU football player and U.S. Rep J.C. Watts was good buddies with my High School coach and used to lift weights with us in the gym.
* I live a few blocks over from Tobey Keith Blvd. I went to the same High School as him. Country singer Kellie Coffey also went to the same school and was in a few of my classes. Too bad I hate country. Garth Brooks Blvd. is about 20 minutes away.. ack!
*Suspected Terrorist Zacharias Moussaoui stayed about 10 minutes from my house when he was checking out the nearby flight school. OKC is also suspected to be a hotbed of terrorist activity. Conspiracy Theory lovers will love this link http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/722374/posts
Oklahoma.. what a fucked up place to live.. Glad I am moving to Ft. Lauderdale in a few weeks..
Sorry ... but as pizza lover, I have to say that looks like the most DISGUSTING pizza I have ever seen in my life !!!
That's not pizza, it's Chicago Pan Pizza . . . big difference.
It's built upsidedown with the cheese on the bottom, tomatoes on the top, and big chunks of stuff inside. . . and weighs about 20 pounds.
mmmmmmmm
Dude, I've been to London. Kebab from a van after you go pubbing, Jacket Potatoes, and for breaky, Bangers N Mash! fuckin' awesome!
Yeah but those are nation wide. I was trying to think of something that was particuarly London. Kebabs are excellent but not really British. The British diet is full of stuff like that. THe most popular dish in the country is Chicken Tikka Masalla. Hmm..which I just might have tonight.
Lover bangers and mash too

Originally posted by Jayson Well there isnt much to rave about in my sleepy little town, but this is the view I have sitting at my desk (taken about 1 week ago).
Hi Jayson, that view looks very familiar lol
That Island state did have the cleanest air (Cape Grim) and water in the world. New Yorkers pay $15 a bottle U.S. for the bottled water from that little Island.
When we have made enough $$$ it will be our view again.

OOoohh! Chicken Tikka! MMmmmm!!! I got initiated to Indian food in London actually, and love it now. I eat it a lot here, at least once every 2 weeks.
As for what London has, hmm well foods, you're like most Metropolitain city. You have a bit of everything from around the world. That's what makes a city liek London so great. But ou have... The millenium eye, a queen, an alcoholic prince, about what, 4-5 Premiere League Football teams (God damn 4 teams in ONE city)
you can always order a bowl of plain chili . . . but be sure to get a couple of cheese coneys on the side
however . . . if you're drunk, the spaghetti, chili, onions, beans, and cheese combo will always sound like the best option
Oh my God, where do I start on this godforesaken place
1) We are the No. 1 breeding ground for Arab terrorists. No one will question you here. No matter how conspicuous you think you'll be, you'll fit right in. Come on down.
2) Corruption in government runs rampant. If you don't have a criminal past, you'll get one while you're in office, especially in Miami-Dade.
3)Old people. The median age here is death plus 10. If you see two hands on a steering wheel and nothing else, get off the road immediately. It's another licensed driver over the age of 90 who has shrunk with age to 4-foot-10.
4)Golddiggers. If you have a pocket full of cash, a nice watch and you're tooling around in an expensive foreign sports car, you'll swear you're Brad Pitt even if you're balding, 50 pounds overweight and your daughter is older than the chick you're dating.
In all fairness, the weather is good most of the time but way too hot and humid in the summer, and the ladies look a helluva a lot better here than most places I've been to. Outside of that, stay where you are.
