We have salt-water beaches, all kinds of ethnic foods, art, 400 years of history and other culture. We're close to Manhattan - which we refer to as the "City".
I'm planning to go to Manhattan and shoot some pictures of the holiday displays from Macy's, Lord & Taylor's, and other good spots, and post them here. Macy's display, on 34th Street, is awesome this year - I saw it yesterday.
Hell yeah! My hometown put a McD's right out of business too, while the hole-in-the wall yoghurt shop on one side and the gourmet pizza by the slice place on the other side consistently have lines out the door! Hell yeah.Quote:

And forget about finding a good Italian Beef.Quote:

check it out! It's costly, but worth it for some!
Many of the Italian gourmet Salumerias here have delicous home-cooked beef. At $3.50 a half lb., it's a bargain.Quote:

Lets see. Jay-Z and Biggie came from here
represtinging northern california, humboldt county!
where the redwood trees gro big, and the pot even bigger
seriously.. humboldt r0x
our pot laws up here are so fuckin liberal, just the other day in town at the mall a cop was going thru a car pulled out a few big bags of pot, after checking the person out with their med card, he gave the pot back and everybody went on their own way.
gotta luv it!
old timers love to talk about "humboldt" buds
Boston is where it's at, man. I fuckin love this city. Im actually right outside the city, walking distance to the T. Some of the coolest bars ever, the best music scene you're gonna find just about anywhere. This place has so much history and culture, you cant walk anywhere without finding some sort of historical landmark, or famous bar, or just plain beatiful architechture. Im close to some really nice beaches and within an hour drive of some world class snowboarding. And also my beloved Red Sox and Bruins and Patriots are here.
Niagara Falls-love the change in seasons.
the chavs here seem to like me for some reason even tho im nothin like them.. oh and yea, planes fly right over my house like every 20 mins cuz i live near an airport...
hahah.. yea its pretty shit here..
I agree, you've got a great place in Boston. I went on vacation there a few years ago, and had a wonderful time.Quote:

but we have a few places nearby that're cool....the only one i think is noteworthy is Moody Gardens....the thing on the left side is a Rainforest pyramid...has all kindsa plant and critter life...butterflies and fish and shit....pretty badass on the inside....and theres another building that has an IMAX....
that's about all i know of round here that doesnt totally blow...since they closed down our Six Flags :mad: and i'd never gotten to go either :mad: :mad:

This place is called Beachy Head and it is probably the number one suicide spot in the world.
Some guy came from America to leap off it and another guy got on a ferry from France , took a taxi to it , paid the taxi and jumped ?? Mad fuckers.

I used to live very close to this place, it's in Holland on the dunes between Katwijk and Noordwijk and it is ESTEC http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMOMQ374OD_index_0.html which is the European Space Center.
Columbus, Ohio baby home of the #1 team in the country in football and soon to be in basketball again. I go to Ohio State, I live on campus, and the only thing I would change is that fuckin' dusting of snow we got last night when I was coming out of the bars.
I'm from PA ! whats unique about where i live is that Zippo lighters are made about twenty miles from me, Ka-Bar knives are also made about thirty miles away. Straub beer is made a little south of my town. I live on the outskirts of the allegany national forest, which means great hunting, and numerous people grow their own dope. PA rocks the casbah!!
Pittsburgh, PA the name Pittsburgh is unique in that it is one of very few cities that spells Burg (burgh). it's ranked 26 in most livable cities in the world. An ass load of amazing football players were born here ex. joe montana, dan marino, joe namath, tony dorsett, lou holtz, ty law. and most people here say 'yinz' a short way of saying "you guys".
where i go to school this city aint got no mids!
pablo~ the allegany river starts within a relatively short distance from where I live.
my college campus is an arboretum. there are over 300 species of trees here, they all have these silver tags with thier genus and species on them.
i'm 30 minutes from the ocean and 10 minutes from the bay.
there are 3 national campgrounds within 45 minutes from campus.
NY...unique? Hmmm...I don't really know what's unique about NY besides most of the people that live in it.
Boston is great! I visited there for a couple of weeks long time ago and I thought it was clean for a city...Quote:

Good things about my town:
1.No Police
2.No Fast food restaraunts
3.No stoplights, no traffic
4.The river, catfish, and bonfire parties
5.There's this little mom and pop general store called Katy Dids..and you can just walk in there and get whatever you want and the owner will write it down on a little peice of paper and keep you a tab to pay later
6. A dinner every sunday with all the trimmins
7. But above all I like to take a drive during the summer, and go drive out on the gravel roads with a big fat doobie and go out where there's nothin but corn and drive around and get high. ;)
I could go on and on..but I'd probrably incriminate myself into sounding even more bodunk..but anyways...life here is good :)
Something else unique about England is you can drink a beer and light up a spliff outside in broad daylight and no one gives a shit, no one minds, and you probably wouldnt even get it confiscated by the cops [as long as your over 18]
las vegas here. gambling hookers booze blah blah pretty much every vice u can think of.
I live in a european city rich in culture with a great history. We have lots of cities around us older than 800 years.
hey whats up :) Im in Rhode island and i agree w/u about the best music scene being here. even in providence theres all kinda places to go hear really cool bands. Plus the beaches are awesome in the summer. the other thing thats cool here is theres all kindsa places to party that nobody knows like coves and abandoned shacks n shit like that.Quote:
