Disraeli and Enid Blyton, huh? Cool.

Khash.

[tjwmason]

58. I'm actually in a near-by village.

It is a charming place in many ways.

I fear that I can't claim to have visited your home-town many times - nor indeed your home country.

If someone really doesn't feel comfortable posting where they live, it's fine if you post a link to one of the places you've lived in or an interesting place in your state or country.

[hfojvt]

20. Waaaaay cool

Here is my hometown:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huron%2C_South_Dakota

There is a link there for Gladys Pyle - first woman elected to the US Senate (I thought she was a mere state senator). I knew her. She went to my church. I had a nice conversation with her at some potluck when I was about 12 or 13 and she was about 85.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. The towns I've lived in...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_City%2C_NJ (Union City, NJ) Man, I'm kind of depressed reading that. I never knew that Roosevelt Stadium was demolished last year. My dad used to always take me there to see the football games of his alma mater, Emerson HS. I also lived next to the Monastery and got to witness the huge fire in 1994.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockaway_Township%2C_NJ (Rockaway Twp, NJ) I went into culture shock living here. I thought I was in the fucking wilderness. Now, I realize that it's called suburbia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison%2C_NJ (Madison, NJ) I spent about 1.5 years living there, just moving out this fall. Good restaurants and theatre company. Republican town, but with a few colleges in town, it's actually socially liberal. I still hang out there because there's nothing to do by me.

Two months ago, I moved back into Rockaway Twp, but into the middle-of-fucking-nowhere section. I'm surrounded by woods on three sides. Behind the house, they go back for like 10 miles or so.

[philosophie_en_rose]

26. Wikipedia doesn't have an article for Bumblefuck, Washington.

I live out in freeptopia right now. :cry:

[mac56]

41. You should write one!

"Bumblefuck is a city located in Dinkerdale County, Washington. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 3. It is the county seat of Dinkerdale County."

[philosophie_en_rose]

46. Founded in 1871, Bumblefuck, Washington was founded by drunken beekeepers.

To this very day, the swelling populace of Bumblefuck swarm against sting of discrimination. They are the sole reason why bestiality is not a crime in the fine state of Washington.

31. Summit Hill neighborhood, St Paul MN

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Paul%2C_Minnesota

Scroll down to the neighborhoods section, and look for #10:
or just read this:

Also called "Crocus Hill" by locals, the neighborhood is centered on Summit Avenue, the traditional home of the city's aristocracy, and the Saint Paul Cathedral, home of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. With its vista of downtown and the Mississippi River, it is among the poshest neighborhoods in the Twin Cities. It was home to artists as diverse as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, August Wilson and, currently, Garrison Keillor.

I live a block away from where F. Scott Fitzgerald spent most of his boyhood, in an apartment building that was a girls school 100 years ago. Scott took dance lessons at the school when he was a boy.

44. OK, here's mine for Oak Park, CA...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Park%2C_CA

Small, unincorporated community an hour from LA and just over the hill from Malibu. Have lived here 26 years. Back then this was considered the boonies. Now it's just another yuppified suburb.

48. It's a town in my zip code

53. Bedford, UK

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford

[billyskank]

55. Wow

With one language per thousand residents, the town has twenty-five times as many languages as London in proportion to population size, the most linguistically diverse city on the planet. If London had the same proportion of languages to population, every known language on the planet would be spoken there.

[tjwmason]

57. Pah - that's not different languages.

It's just the complete inability of the locals to form any coherent sounds when attempting to speak. :P

[GalleryGod]

54. He'll take us there, MVD.

Seems Swedes know how to treat groin injuries better than Philly Docs!
Go figure. Not surprised,
