Your town in 10 words or less?

[SVD]

Just because we are from all over, and because its nice to know about people and their places, can you describe your town, city, hamlet, village, Godforsaken plot, or wherever you live in 10 words or less ("and" and "or" and "but" and such don't count)?

I can start...

Hot

I live in the Houston area, Texas.
Who's next?

Someone from Falkirk maybe? My mother is from there and I have never been. :D

Hey Drywall - sounds like your home and mine aren't so differenet even though you're probably '000s of miles from the sea.

[drywall]

I am, in fact, only a few hundred miles from the geographic center of North America. Can't get much farther from the ocean, in all directions, than that. We sit astride 3 continental divides. Water flows from here to Hudsons Bay, the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. :cool:

Hey Bill, NJ eh? Well, my 25% US blood (paternal grandmother) came from NJ, but I believe it is not one of the nicest parts now - South Orange - do you know it?

[Bill Farnie]

HighlandSniper58,

Yes I know South Orange well. Like a lot of small towns in N.J. that border the city of Newark, it has it's good sections and it's bad sections with the bad being on the border areas. It's the same with the town I live in.

So you have Jersey roots huh? I have Scottish roots. Ever been to Fife?
I have a ton of relatives living there.

Fife is about 200 miles south-east of us, don't know it really well, just to pass through.

Silicon Glen (again that should count as one word... OK so I am cheating, sue me! :rolleyes: )

McArthur Glen shopping centre (people come here from afar and beyond just to shop branded clothes and other items, I stick to Asda Walmart myself - cheaper and does the job ;) )

roundabout heaven (not sure if that translates well into American English... what's the word.... :confused: )

Ermm... might help if I told you where this was too... (scatter-brainy me): Livingston (without the 'e'), close to almost everywhere including Falkirk (noted for the thread-starter).

St. Louis, MO..most people don't know that St. Louis is really a southern city. Had mandated segregation until the 60's.
First question you'll be asked here: Where did you go to high school? This serves to identify who & what you are.
Doesn't work for me because I'm not a native. Just the place I could find a job after I graduated from college.
Stayed here ever since. Will NOT retire here.

[Nightstalker]

Well, Black Jack is about 1 km away from where I live. And, I used to work for Emerson Electric's E&S Division about 20 years ago...made TOW missile launchers, ITV's, MiniTats, etc. Small world. Used to be that if you lived in St. Louis & were involved in manufacturing or engineering, you worked either for Emerson or McDonald Douglas (now Boeing). Never worked for the kite factory...left Emerson & eventually got into import/export forwarding. Intent is that it's my last job before retirement. Oh, yeah, Cubs SUCK!uzi,
