Describe your city/town in two words

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Be it from personal experience or just how people in your area describe your home in general; cities or towns tend to get labels.

Let's share yours!

Spoiler: I have had two cities in my life that I considered home-ish.

Saskatoon - Skating Rink

Vancouver - Very High

Saskatoon because of the terrible roads that tend to get excessive amounts of ice during the winter. Vancouver is because almost everyone I've met from here is either actively enjoying substances or used to do it.

Sheffield - Grey Metropolis.

The weather sucks and it's pretty industrial in the main area of town. We used to be famous for making steel, after all..

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Biloxi - Many casinos.

Olympia - charmingly odd.

Yeah, that's all I've got, really. Biloxi's got more going for it than just casinos but tons of people come around for the gambling or other casino experiences.

I love Olympia, but there's some odd folks there (bit of a strange transition from Mississippi to Washington).

 

[Queen Michael]

Göteborg. Also known as Gothenburg. Second biggest city in Sweden. "Gray ports."

 

[kurokotetsu]

Mexico City- Eclectic contrast.

Center town has Pre-Hispanic ruins, Colonial buildings, 20th Century Skyscrapers, 19th Century Opera Houses. We have a very rich community next to what is very nearly a slum and the only place that still floods. We have a multi-million Catholic migration and sex conventions and homosexual mariage. We can walk from a crime free zone to an extremely dangerous place easily, just a bad turn. You can eat a thousand bucks dinners or for less than a dollar. You have the richest man in the world and third wolrd porverty. I fail to think of a place with more contrasts, more randomness.

My town can be summed up as "Far retirement". It's a costal town with a beach and it's the perfect place for old retirement people to lived in (fond memories of the seaside). I also said far cos it's a far away distance to from the cities I loved to hang on in (it take two hours from here to Manchester)!)

Poole - Ancient Port

My hometown sits on the second largest natural harbour in the world and so has been inhabited since the Iron Age. Lots of history here. It's a port town, everything is about the sea here, our two town symbols are a dolphin and topless mermaid respectively and the Sunseeker leisure ships for the insanely rich are designed and built here.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

Retire Here

Retired people make up the majority of the population. They also like the beaches and gambling.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Dundee - Video Games

Not only was it the place where Grand Theft Auto began, but games like Lemmings and Crackdown were also created in this fine city. That's not mentioning the likes of 4J Games who have become notable for their fine work porting games, including the massively successful console versions of Minecraft, or YoYo Games whose GameMaker engine has been used in a multitude of well-received games like Hotline Miami, Gunpoint and Hyper Light Drifter, amongst others.

 

[Hoplon]

Newark on Trent, shit hole.

 

[Colour Scientist]

Dublin - Um... Wait, shit, does that count as one word?

I actually can't thing of a good way to describe Dublin in two words.

I can describe my hometown in two words though:

Fucking Narnia.

Seriously, we have beautiful scenery out the wazoo.

 

[Wasted]

Two Faces

Spoiler

I love Chicago, but depends where you are you can find awe-inspiring wonder or one of the most dangerous places in the United States.

 

[Muspelheim]

Göteborg. Also known as Gothenburg. Second biggest city in Sweden. "Gray ports."

The runner-up would be "Ice Wind". Or "Drunken Lion".

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

York - "Viking Central."

Seriously, practically everything here is viking-themed. If it isn't named Jorvik whatever, then it'll be Roman-named instead. There's a viking museum, viking re-enactments, the best Old Norse Literature department in the country, it's awesome!

The alternate 2 words for York might be: "Pubs! Churches!" because there are a crap load of both. The city claims to have enough pubs that you could visit a different one every day of the year and there are loads of churches dotted around the city (not to mention the Minster, obviously, which kind of sticks out a bit).

 

[Hazy992]

Huddersfield - "Utter shithole". And if we're not counting conjunctions, "scum and villainy".

I don't like my hometown very much, I'd move far away if I could.

 

[sageoftruth]

Somerville - Crowded hipsterville

Someone older than me was asked 50 years ago, he would have said something like "Trash central". This place basically went from being a trashy working-class town to being a trendy college town. I still miss the suburbs though. It's so noisy here and the road system is abysmal.

I used to live in
Weston - Forest paradise

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Chandler - Fucking boring.

There is nothing to do here, and you have to drive far away just to do something mildly entertaining.

Sucks really. :/

Chandler?

How can you not love it?

Coventry- just bland

Has a cathedral that got destroyed by the Nazis and used to famous for making cars but then they left.
