Weird things about your city

[Subjugation]

The only wierd thing about Sacramento is it's rumored to have haunted tunnels below the city.

When the city was first founded, it used to flood just about every single year, since it's directly downriver from the Sierra Nevada mountain range. So, the government decided the best thing was to re-build the city about 15 feet above the original surface, and build levees everywhere.

Well, many of the old downtown buildings have access to these basements which connect to the original subterranian building facades and a network of underground tunnels that run throughout the downtown area. There have been reports of ghosts and apparitions in these subterranian tunnels by the shop owners and their employees.

Spooky! :fear:

It's right on the water and very pretty? Fuck, my town has nothing cool coming from it, except a few broadway actors/actresses that no one gives a shit about, and the drummer from Vertical Horizon, and some pitcher on the Tigers... I think that's it. Oh, and is the town with the most cases of Lyme disease in the world.. hence the name, East Lyme (though there is a town called Old Lyme next to it. It's the founding place of Lyme disease), WOW AWESOME I"M SO PROUD THAT I"VE GOTTEN LYME DISEASE TWICE!

It has a population of about 17,000 people and its high school is ranked in the top 300 high schools in the nation. What else... umm, there are some big houses on the water.... there is a... pool? It has two National Guard bases... the founder and CEO of 1-800-flowers.com lives there and happens to be a close friend of mine... there are apple orchards... there are cars... there is a mansion owned by a lottery winner NOT on the water... there are bars... there are trees. Okay, you know what? It's not impressive... but I fucking chose to live there, so it must be alright.

EDIT: Miss Teen Connecticut Christine Perkins hails from East Lyme.

Part of Logan's Run was filmed here in Fort Worth at the Water Gardens (and last year, people drowned in them). As far as my home city goes, it's the home of the Cadillac Ranch and the Free 72 oz. steak*.

It might soon be New Orleans:

most disturbing part:

They point to an experiment last year by university researchers in which police fired 700 blank rounds in a New Orleans neighborhood in a single afternoon.

No one called police to report the gunfire.

[Theif of Time]

why call the police, the police already know theres gunfire...

Oh I get it.

Jeep Davis lives here (he went to the Olympics for track. now he runs a driving school called Jeep's Olympic driving school)

I guess my high school is the only high school in the nation with a 4 sided score board.


That's our varsity gym.

[DoTheFandango]

Wrong, the town next to me has a ice-rink, swimming pool, and completely college-style arena/gym

I live in Connecticut, give me a break.
