Describe the city/town where you come from

Really? That's where bottled water comes from? Maine's public water system?

• It's in the southern-but-not-really-southern south.
• There's about five or six universities in the general area.
• There's a gigantic research park anchored by IBM, DuPont, and Cisco.
• It has two beltlines that surround the city to supposedly alleviate traffic. It just makes it worse.
• It's old which makes the traffic worse.
• Named after the guy who made cigarettes cool.
• The Royal Bank of Canada operates here for some reason.
• Its metropolitan area has a population of just under 2 million.

A lot of it does, yes. It is one of our biggest exports, besides timber and marine supplies.

Dallas?

Houston

&Raleigh.

I was born in Greenland, but mostly raised in Illinois.

I lived in Eldred, Illinois. It was less of a town, more of a village type thing. The only places of business were a post office, a bank, and two bars. Other then that everyone worked in the bigger "towns up north" as I liked to say.

Here's a funny little story. Back in November the oldest guy in town managed to accidentally burn down the abandoned hotel 10 yards from his porch.

Right now its flooded to hell from a month and a half of rain. My back yard is full of drowned earth worms and the smell is terrible.

There's also a "haunted" house, apparently.

Nice.

The "nice" was related to the "haunted house".
