Describe where you live

[joe182]

I was curious to see where the members of The Escapist live, and what your towns/cities are like, so...

Go to www.urbandictionary.com, search your town name, and post what it comes up with.
Alternatively, just describe it in your own words.

Heres mine;

Kidderminster
''Nondescript post-industrial redbrick town in the Midlands (UK), good football team, top countryside nearby. About 20 minutes from Birmingham which actually has cinemas, shops and good places to get pissed. Lots of skaters / alternative people & almost as many charvas to grief them relentlessley. Rotting factories & concrete 1960s shopping centers and tower blocks everywhere. Famous for making carpets.''


Yeah, it's pretty dull...

 

[Radeonx]

It's always scorching in the summer, freezing in the winter. Half of the town is rich college professors, coaches, and other teachers, and the other half is the community, which is full of crime.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Wales
"A country with some of the best pubs in the World. Don't pick a fight in Wales because they will knock your teeth out.
Wales rocks.
No one shags sheep and not everyone is called Gwenyth.
Visit Wales!"

Huh. It missed out the bit about rain. Even though that's its chief export.

"a shitty town were the water has steroids in thats why they all ways beat avon in football"

Hoorah!

 

[Fenring]

Eugene, Oregon.
Home to the Hippies, Homeless, and Ducks.
A shit town in most respects, the city council makes it look clean but underneath the veneer it is a stinking cesspool of human filth.
The real trick they use is the neighboring Springfield, OR which is even worse, so they look better by comparison.
Guy 1:We been driving for three fucking hours, lets stop here in Eugene.

Guy 2: Fuck that, its only 2 more hours to Portland.

At least I'm not in Springfield.

 

[Aunel]

Didn't bring up anything,
Bergen Holland is boring, but at least I live in a forest.

 

[Dorian]

Specifically, my town is as follows.

A concrete jungle, full of unkind people and corporations strangling the life our of our local shops. As soon as you leave the city limits, you are surrounded by deciduous trees are far as you can see, which isn't very far due to the amount of trees. Deer are fairly common, and the weather changes about every other hour. Streams perforate the land, occasionally collecting into small ponds. The Summer is warm, but short. The Winter is a long, harsh, nigh snowless time that everyone hates.

I'm going to move someday.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Well since my town didn't come up, I'm using my "profile town" which is Paisley = Shitehole town outside of Glasgow. Original >.>

 

[Grab-bag]

Just look in your bin and i'm sure you will see for yourself.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Manchester, the home of these guys:

[http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v734/silvermoonfish/?action=view&current=chavs.jpg]

but I do love Manchester <3 The city centre is really nice and there's lots of alternative, backstreet shops aswell as the popular ones. There's also an awesome Chinatown and loads of cinemas and a good nightlife.

But yeah, the suburbs are full of chavs

 

[Corven]

Yuma, AZ: It's the desert...that's it really, it's hot, miserable, and the water taste like rotten eggs.

That's my own definition by the way.

 

[FoodMonger]

Where I live, just about everyone smokes pot, has sex behind the Loop or in the halls of the high school, and do really fucked up stuff.
That's Methuen for ya.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Hythe:
South coastal town over run by Burberry clad reprobates.
Hythe - The Original Burberry Massive Town

geeze... but chav central in a mile... south, south-west, maybe? uuurrrrgghhhh....

 

[JRCB]

Toronto:

Fairly warm in the summer, fairly cold in the winter. Multicultural, big, next to a lake, has a giant pointy needle called the CN Tower. All the sports teams suck, minus the Blue Jays (who only sort of suck). Overall, a half-decent place to live.

 

[cthulhu257]

Backwoods southern New Hampshire. Seriously, the weather pretty much does it's own thing at random.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Wisconsin A state that consumes more alcohol and has a higher people-to-bar ratio then any other state in the country.
'Living in Wisconsin has taught me how to replace water with beer.'

Gee I feel bad now.
*sigh*

I live in Marianna, Florida. It's TECHNICALLY Florida, but it's so close to Alabama that it might as well just be a part of Alabama. It's hot, redneck-y, and there people down here who actually LIKED Transformers:Revenge Of The Fallen. Hell on earth.

You Americans don't realise how lucky you are...
To not have to put up with chavs would be a truly beautiful thing.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

When I searched for it, I was rather impressed actually, at least by the accuracy.
First result was the school, and the second was apparently an essay.

Spoiler: My UrbanDictionary Results.

[Lakewood Ranch]
a school full of std-ridden kids that like to get messed up on drugs all the time
there are the git-r-dunnssss
the preppies, jocks and jesus children
the stoners
and then all the lesser beings that no one talks to

most of lakewood ranch's students have some sort of disease
and a lot of money

[Bradenton]
If you come to bradenton, you may get easily get sucked into the drug dealers way of life since it is such a lucrative "business" in this town. There are rich neighborhoods all over the place that lie within 2 miles of a street full of trap houses. Finding any drug you could think of in this town is as easy as going to the shell station on cortez and asking the first person you see.Beer is sold at every store located here, including all grocery stores and even the 3 Super Walmarts. Everyone knows everyone and everyone also knows atleast 3 people that died of a drug overdose in Bradenton. Homeless crackheads lie on ever main intersection holding up cardboard signs saying, "I'm not gonna lie I need BEER" Bradenton is full of good green, good drugs, hot crazy girls and out of control parties. If you move here you will leave either a convicted felon, alcoholic, drug dealer, drug addict or former member of mantee glens. The Walmarts, Target, AppleBees,Bada-Bings, The Distllery and the Peek A Boo are among the "hot-spots" in B-Town. If you were born and raised here, you are most likely not one to be messed with and the girls here are some of the most "gangster" you will find.

What they forgot to mention is the disgustingly hot & muggy summers.
The mild, mild winters if you can even call it a winter.

Not to mention the old people. LOTS OF THEM.
Yes, the Florida stereotype is true. Especially here.

EDIT: Searched Florida for fun, quite humorous.

Spoiler: Florida as a whole...

The godforsaken Sunshine State renowned for weather and beaches. Florida is noteworthy for having no discernible season changes. Well-known for its subpar education system, Florida is home to Florida State University, a party school known for its football team and its acceptance of anyone who has a pulse and can spell his or her own name correctly. The population here is an amalgam of inhabitants from elsewhere; if you wish to find a retired New Yorker, go to any one of Boca Raton's 5,000 retirement communities; if you want to find a Latino/Hispanic/person whose first language is Spanish, turn around. Florida is a geographic anomaly in that the farther north you travel, the more Southern it seems (and sounds like), and the farther south you go, the more it seems like Cuba (as evidenced by the Little Havana area of Miami). Still, Florida, as a whole, is without an easily recognizable dialect. All place names here are either of Spanish (Punta Gorda, Boca Ciega) or Native American (Tallahassee, Econolockhatchee River) origin, or contain the word "orange" in them. Florida decor has inexplicably come to mean "a seafoam green and pink couch with a watercolor pelican painting." Floridians are not known for good taste; also missing are driving skills, especially in the frequent rain, and voting know-how.
-"Florida's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live here."
-"Bah! Go back to New York, you snowbird."

Also, this image came up. Yeah, go ahead and laugh. It's pretty typical.

 

[Icehearted]

Idaho, backwards, dirty, boring, absolutely redneck, but with the gall (or stupidity) to be pretentious.
