St. Maarten/Saint Martin
The island I was born, raised and still live.
stmaarten.jpg


a small 37 miles^2 island with 37 beachs.. and is in the top 5 tourist destinations in the Caribbean.

Its the smallest land mass in the world to be separated by two Countries (Half French, Half Dutch) official population total of about 80k (without illegals and tourists)

It is also the home of the infamous Most dangerous Airport in the world (Princess Juliana Airport) where the runway is just feet away from the beach.

Harrisburg, PA. Uh, it's the capital. Not much else really. Crappy weather, stupid people, bad traffic. There is a lot of bars around here. People like to drink in the burg.
 
I live in the giant turd that is also known as Hackney, which is a borough in London. Unfortunately, London has many turd boroughs like Hackney, however tourists only tend to see the less smellier turds of London, so they go away not remembering the smell.

I still do not know, to this day, how London became Olympic hosts.

Hackney:
= absolutely poor public transport. No Underground stations, despite it being part of inner London.
= Some of the worst schools in the country
= High crime rate
= They say it's multicultural, but it's pretty much more like ethnic segregation.
= There is more rubbish on the streets than in the bins
= Housing is pretty much council flats.

It truly is a hole.

Dudley, England.

Dudley-Castle-cb03607.jpg


It has a decaying castle, surrounded by a decaying zoo, surrounded by a decaying town.

According to Wiki...
It is the 19th largest settlement in England, measured by Urban Sub-Area, the second largest town in the United Kingdom, behind Reading and the largest settlement in the UK without its own university.

The oldest condoms found (rather than just pictures or descriptions) were discovered in Dudley Castle and date from 1640.

The 2002 Dudley earthquake was an earthquake registering 4.7 on the Richter scale and lasted approximately 20 seconds. It was the largest earthquake to hit the UK for over 12 years since the 1990 Bishop's Castle earthquake.

Dudley Tunnel is a canal tunnel on the Dudley Canal Line No 1, England. At about 3,172 yards (2,900.5 m) long, it is now the second longest canal tunnel on the UK canal network today.

Notable people
Sam Allardyce (1954 - ) - footballer and football manager
Noddy Holder (1948 - ) - musician

and of course

Edit: if you didn't get it... Dudley is rubbish.

I live in Pismo Beach right now and everybody hates the fucking Bakos. Sorry bro, somebody had to break in to you. We know it's you by the way you read the menus in the restaurant windows.

I'm from Bakersfield too. And I can vouch that the only reason people from Bakersfield visit is to feel better about being from Bako. Fuck Pismo. The only place worse than Pismo is Ventura.

I live in Santa Barbara now and it's on fire.

Celle - the centerfold of medieval European cities

07-Haeuserfront-Celle.jpg


It's small, 90.000 citizens, but people are decent, lots of potential. Incredibly cultured for such a small town. Celle is also known to be the only German city without any kind of dialect. The last peasant speaks high German there. And the girls grow smokin hot as well.
Well, I used to spent my weekends in Hamburg or Berlin anyway, and moved to the latter as soon as possible. Always love to come back though.

Wisconsin Illinois border town. None of crap that big cities bring yet Milwaukee is 20 minutes and Chicago is hour away if needed. Growing up was awesome in this small village of 3200 at the time. You had alot woods and spooky land around a fairly original developing suburb at the time. It was not unusual to see 20 plus kids of all ages hanging out and playing hide and seek, building tree forts, Rockadoc, Round Robin, racing around the block and tons of other old school outdoor activities. Getting on the bike and crossing main street to buy 1 cent candy at Ben Franklin was the highlight of alot of summers as was surviving haunted dead ends and railroad tracks. Milkweed, foxes, frogs and snakes use to be all over back then as well as the girl or guy next door you had a crush on. Now its nearly all gone to cookie cutter development, alot of gas stations and strip malls, glad I lived when I did.
