NASA, George Bush, Sr. calls us home as does former Secretary of State James Baker, humidity, traffic, diversity, pickup trucks, Enron (ugh!), second only to New York in the number of theater seats - our theater district has more than 12,000 seats total, fourth largest city in the nation, the "fatest" city (but how could we help it with over 11,000 restaurants!) - we eat out more than any other American city, the world's largest rodeo, the world's largest medical center, the second lowest cost of living among major American cities, home of Rene Zellweger, Beyonce and the Destiny's Child girls, Hakeem Olajuwan and Yao Ming, host of Super Bowl XXXVIII and now... ASTRO Andy Pettitte!!!! Yee haw!

Two cities.
Vancouver - Known for its amazing scenery, nestled between the mountains and the water. You can go skiing in the morning and sailing in the afternoon, they say. An hour and a half from world class skiing at Whistler as well. Yes, it does rain quite a bit. Those who've been will know Robson and Granville street for shopping and restaurants. Plus we've got the best sunsets I've ever seen. I've travelled the world and there's no place I'd rather live. Edmonton - Gonorrhea capital of Canada, apparently. Biggest mall in the world. Really good university. And that's...about...it. SLM3 |

We're a city of close to 250,000, built nowhere near a river and totally dependent on lakes which run low quite often. I guess we'd be known for great city planning.

I guess southern california has Hollywood with all of it's movie stars and such. We also have Amoeba, one of the best record stores in the world as voted by many people and magazines and such. We also have the Governator...i bet every non-californian wishes they had Arnold as their governor.
As for my city, Simi Valley, we have been the safest city in the US for a couple years in a row now I do believe. Subsequently(sp?) this is also a very boring town. Although a while back we had the Rodney King beatings as well as the Charles Manson hideout caves. Oh ya, part of the Big Lebowski was filmed here. I guess that would be all of the interesting stuff about this place.

1st presidential primary in the nation every 4 years.
No sales tax other than tourist taxes - hotels, rental cars & prepared food. No state income tax - whew. The smallest amount of oceanfront property for any state touching an ocean (25 mi. or so) The 'Segway' gyroscopically balanced personal transportation machine. Hardly any people of color - it's a pretty white world over here. Lots of tourists all year for the White Mts., the Lake region and the beach. Tons of leaf peepers during the fall. Expensive colleges. More motorcycles per capita than any other state - and we've got lots of months each year where it's too damn cold to ride - go figure. Woefully not much in the way of beautiful women.

Hmm... smokestacks, an odd smell, being the butt of every joke about a state, Bon Jovi and Springsteen.
As George Carlin once said: "Kiss her where it smells! Take her to New Jersey!"
