Let's hear what you would say to someone who called your office, and requested information about your city. Why would someone want to move there?

Let's see... ;)

We got ourselves a real pretty new stop sign at the corner. One fantastic grocery store, one of those video rental stores and you may not believe this... a MACDonalds! We went through gosh darn heck to get that MACDonalds here. If only we could get ourselves a laundry mat. We would be sittin' pretty.

Oh, I plum forgot to tell you the name of the town. Its called Pulafalulaville. Now you already know what state I'm in.

This was a serious topic, but satire replys are welcome too.

I wouldnt recommend that anyone move to Newberry, SC, so here's the best job I could to to intice someone to move here...

"Well, Sir or Maam, Newberry has a historical down town district. (Its full of payday loan places.) The Newberry Opera House is very extravagant, and packs in audiences every week. (Its the only well maintained building in downtown Newberry, and the majority of audiences come from Columbia and Greenville)

Newberry has a good nightclub scene. (3 bars in the whole town. One beatnick bar, one college bar, and one sports bar)

Newberry has a very nice hotel for weary travelers, conveinently located across the street from the opera house. (Its a Best Western that is less than 5 years old, and it is about 5 miles from the interstate.)

Newberry has very affordable real estate, and rental properties. (Its mostly run down houses that cost about 20 grand, that would cost more than 10 grand to make into a nice place. There are 5 apartment complexes, all of which are government assisted.)

Newberry has a very nice country club, with an upscale surrounding neighborhood. (Its one street, (which is the street I live on) and, nice neighborhoods, which are imbedded with the bad neighborhoods)

Newberry has a growing business stretch, attracting major chains. (Applebees wont even go there)

Newberry has a nice college. (Doesnt every town?)

If you have any other questions, ask.

Hmmm, how can I describe my town without giving too much away.

We're a very important agricultural base. We have a mild, what some call a Mediterranean climate. This allows for a wide variety of crops to be grown for long duration through the year. Those crops tend to be higher value per acre crops (exotic lettuces, various berries) along with grape production and artichokes (though not quite as much of those as Castroville). Land prices are a bit high due to our proximity to Silicon Valley and touristy areas like Monterey and Carmel. However, we are very growth minded, unlike certain neighboring communities.

We have a rich and varied cultural mix. If you want Mexican food, you'd be hard pressed to find a town with more options (we have a high taqueria count per capita).

Mine would be easy.

Toronto is the biggest city in Canada and the 4th (or is it 5th) largest city in North America with a strong economy and very high tech.

Come see the city from the top of the CN Tower, largest freestanding structure in the entire world with the highest observation deck in the world.

We are the most ethnically diverse community in North America with communities represented from almost every country you could think of. We have world class restaurants that reflect this diversity.

We also have a silly local government that could not come up with a decent slogan for our city. So look for advertising that says "Toronto Unlimited" :rotfl: (Sorry - had to throw that in since it has been in the news the last couple of weeks. No one likes the slogan)

Edit - I used Toronto - but I actually live in Vaughan which is part of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) but is a city just north of Toronto. Our slogan is "The City Above Toronto". It is a suburb and most people here think of ourselves as living in Toronto even though we have a separate local government. The benefits of Toronto with lower municiple taxes.

I lived in New Orleans for 14 years...it is my home.....now I live in a trashy city that right next to it.....but I work in New Orleans.......I'd like to claim New Orleans.

1. You can have no money in New Orleans and still have one of the best weeks of your life (even without "sin").

2. Future place of Sisko's Restaurant! :woohoo:

If you think I should count my current residence.

1. If you are a masochist, you'll love it here.

Warrington!

Well, if someone called me and asked about it, i'd say simple!

I live here! Isn't that reason enough?

Plus, we are the second largest town in the UK, 200,000 of my loyal followers already reside here, and we have five (yes, count them) McDonalds within ten minutes of each other!

We have no sheep, or cows, so no smell, unless you come on a hot day, when the drains might smell slightly in the north of Warrington.

Also! Pete Postlethwaite was born here! :lol: Oliver Cromwell lived here too!

Also we have a fountsin! that never seems to be switched on since I announced my plans to run through it! :angry:
