    Default Come To Memphis; MLK Was Shot Here

    Where do you live? Do you like it there?

    Memphis is sort of an unholy hatesmurf child of San Francisco and Detroit that they both just kinda don't talk about. First of all, this place is like someone just booted up SimCity for the first time and did everything wrong, because the roads here are trout and people get killed all the time. It's primarily hipsters and thugs depending on where you go.

    But we have a zoo! With pandas! And Elvis lived here! And we have a pyramid currently in the process of being converted into a Bass Pro Shop! And Beale Street is fun for a few minutes! But we never get good concerts (smurf you Nashville), and the best places to eat are all barbecue and I hate barbecue.

    If there is something good about Memphis, it's the trees. There are a lot of trees here. But here, even the trees will kill you. But still, I like this place. There are neat(ish) people here and a ton of places selling frozen yogurt. Just try not to get shot.

    So, talk about your hometown.

    <a href=http://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Pennsylvania/Places/erie-snowfall-totals-snow-accumulation-averages.php>come to my hometown and be blasted with snow for six months straight</a>. Those numbers don't seem right though...February is always worse than January.

    Now I live in Seattle! It rains two-hundred days out of the year here, the city hates motorists, sales tax is smurfing outrageous (but we don't pay local taxes!), and everywhere you seem to travel is uphill in some way. But hey, pot and gay marriage for everyone! Gotta take the good with the bad.

    Maybe I'll visit if I ever feel like having a break from the snow we get here.

    I live in Bozeman, Montana and it's my favorite place in the entire world: college town, everyone here is friendly and intelligent, super affordable healthcare, free public transportation, you're right in the middle of the mountains and within an hour of three different ski resorts, two world-class museums, PALEONTOLOGY CENTRAL and the guy who inspired Jurassic Park lives here, best breakfast joint in the world, best soda shop in the world, voted second best place in the United States to live if you have pets - it's just great all around

    Huxley agrees, BROzeman Montana is where it's at.

    Oh forgot to mention: no sales tax.

    Perth has...great beaches. That's really about the only talking point. But seriously, they're really smurfing good beaches.

    East Kilbride has nothing of note. Nice enough town. Nicer than the other so-called "New Towns" that popped up in Scotland ended up. A bit on the expensive side. Too many roundabouts.

    One or two celebrities have came from here! Lorraine Kelly was from here, sort of. John Hannah from them Mummy movies and nothing else ever too.

    Yeah. Nothing much here. xD

    I live in Dayton, Ohio and it is an amalgamation of everything that is bad in the midwestern U.S.

    Awful, awful, awful.

    I will be moving to State College, PA in the next few months, which I am hoping is significantly better.

    Montreal, Quebec. Been living here for nearly 8 years and love the city. In the summer it is awesome; there is always something going on: international film festivals, fashion week, cultural festivals, parades, terraces, Just for Laughs, Jazz Fest., International Firework shows, tons of music festivals, Tam-Tams, etc...Though not as much as the summer, even the winter has things to do. A trout ton of museums too. Plus there is plenty of trees for such a big city, not to mention parks. Overall it is an amazing city. The only downside is the whole political turmoil of Quebec lately that mostly has to do with language/culture. Basically, according to the current gov't it is okay to be gay, but not Anglo, especially monolingual Anglo. Who needs English anyways? Not like it isn't spoken in the RoC (Rest of Canada) or our nearby American neighbours. Also, we're one of the most heavily taxed provinces. It hurts on income tax since I am between tax brackets so my last raise was lost to taxes. :/

    My fiancee has a 4-year PhD program lined up at Penn State so we're kinda committed at this point. State College seemed like a nice place, anyways. College towns usually have a pretty cool personality regardless of where they sit.
