    There's crap all in my town. The council told a bunch of businesses to close up shop and move cause they want Glasshouse Mountains to be a small town. Not to mention I live away from the main parts of town. But it's crap, everything is happening in the next town over, Beerwah, or in one of the bigger cities.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    My town isn't too bad, the night life is meant to be boss and the town centre isn't too bad. Though it's best if you like Rugby, as our Rugby team is the best in the country or something (I don't even follow it~). It's also great if you're Christian, as my town is the most Christian town in the UK with it being 98% white or something.

    We're in the perfect place though, bus rides away from Wigan, Southport and Liverpool and train rides to Manchester, Blackpool etc.

    Are only white people Christians in the UK or something?
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Nope, I live in downstate New York.

    My school's graduating class was 250 kids, of which, two were black, maybe 3 were asian, and a handful were latino. So yeah. My town basically consists of Italian/Irish/German Catholics.

    My city is a rundown skullskullskullskullpile. It's full of chavs and criminals and worse. The only remotely interesting thing in the whole region is the National Space Center, otherwise it's completely without merit or redemption.

    Edinburgh is wonderful. The only downside to it is that it's freaking cold during the winter and I dislike the very limited daylight hours during winter. Other than that, it's got good people, loads of things to do and places to go, decent pay, expensive housing prices but you can get around that - half a dozen initiatives to allow lower income people to get onto the housing ladder were started in this region over the past five or so years, and I'm on one of them myself. The festivals are also great - the film festival (including world/UK premieres of such films as Wall-E and the Edge of Love) just finished but the real fun will begin in August when the city doubles in population (literally, due to tourism) as the world's largest arts festival rolls into town, and the streets fill with quality buskers and so forth. It's a beautiful city to be in, too, with good public transport at a decent price. Hooray!

    My town is so boring there's nothing to do except drink. There are like, 8 pubs in the town centre. Pub crawls are a regular occurance for 16-25 year olds.

    I jokingly call my village the "'hood of North Wales" due to its reputation for being a bit rough. A lot of council housing, drug users, chavs and vandalism about. As part of a larger town, it just stands out as being the worst part of town. North Wales in general is very sleepy and backwater with not a lot ever happening. Just a lot of pensioners and tourists and I never know which I dislike more. I suppose the fact that the village is a place without any tourist destinations keeps it quiet though. North Wales can be very picturesque and scenic in places, but where I live is not. The Welsh village where I lived previously up in the hills was much more scenic. Also the place name means "Pig Town" in Welsh, which doesn't make it any better. That's to do with its connection to the Mabinogion legend though.

    I live in a large village, with a population of around 9500. The public transport is terrible. It's famous for its jam and marmalade and other preserves. There is not much to do, but it's not a far drive from Colchester or Chelmsford which are two busy towns.

    I live in Hawaii. You'd think that Hawaii would be a fun and great place to live, right? Wrong. This terrible group of islands is located directly above Hell and all of Hell's hellish hellishness is leaking up into Hawaii.

    Hawaii is terrible.

    It's a nice city to be a kid in, but not so great for adult life I hear.
