You partied all night long and it was gross?
What kind of party did you go to?
and
San Antonio is just a c+? Just the margaritas and food alone ought to bump it to a B!
Considering your comments as well as post # 8, I'm thinking that Texas must be an awfully nice place to live (I'm worried about the fire ants and grackles mentioned by others though)
I was born in Seattle and have lived here most of my life, and I am so completely unhappy here I can hardly express it....our state and city governments are utterly corrupt and hard-Left, cars with pro-Bush bumper stickers are routinely vandalized, and the Leftist mentality permeates much of the state like a cancer. "sigh"
One of the few things that make life here livable are the GREAT Freepers who are about the only sane ones around.....
Perhaps the fear and lowered quality of life as a result of the gangs is something that longtime residents have simply come to accept and have gotten used to, and so it doesn't manifest itself as clinical depression? Perhaps there are other aspects of the city that create a balance? I haven't been to Stockton so I'm only guessing.
Curiously, Detroit is near the bottom of the list, and although I haven't been to Detroit either I've heard that it's also overrun with gangs. .....
In my area of Texas (bottom of the Panhandle) fireants are more rare than liberals. There's more to Texas than Austin and the overrated Hill Country. As for the grackles, buy a bb gun and a house with a private backyard.
Filthadelphia is merely Newark, NJ with more historical monuments.
I remember that day, years ago. It happened once in Midland too.
I have a question. I've been in Seattle 4 years now. I can take the cloudiness. I can take the rain. I welcome it.
What I can't take is the summer sun. The unrelenting, clear, cloudless days. I find no joy or comfort in them at all.
Is it possible to have reverse SAD? My son and I both seem to have this problem. I truly don't even want to leave the house when it is a bright day. This was never a problem when I lived on the east coast, where I really think the light was a bit dimmer than it is out here, but maybe that's just the comparison between the usual greyness and the summer.
Do other Seattlites have a problem w/the sun?
That's it.
Despite the fact that there has been nothing but sunshine here for the past three months, while Phoenix and LA get heavy rains, I will be out of here (Seattle) as soon as I get a good job offer elsewhere.

It's been like that here all week! And, the Lady Raiders won today!
So Chris, what is up with Yonkers that makes people there so happy? Is it the Cross Country Mall? The Raceway? The fact that you can deal smack, crack or crank at the local public schools and get away with it?
Who stays at a B&B in a northeastern city? No wonder it was "RANK".
In any case, center city Philly has really been cleaned up and revitalized over the past 10-20 years.
I've done quite a bit of photography in Philly in recent years. Much of the city is really beautiful and clean these days. It has really improved.
Proximity to the Bronx is what cheers them up, perhaps?
I love Fairmount Park and the art museaum myself. Much of the city is either a ghetto (West Philly and the near north) or stuck in a time warp (South Philly and the NE). Cheap housing and good food, however, but I can get that in my dad's old nabe in Newark while still being in commuting distance of NYC.
You're joking right?
Nobody who's actually been to Philly and Newark could make such an absurd comparison.
Philly is much bigger.
Absolute nonsense!! I don't live there, but travel to St. Petersburg often on business and it's a perfectly delightful town.

Aside from certain Freepers (you know who you are), most inhabitants of Yonkers that I have met have a chip on their shoulder. I wouldn't think that they would be the type who would consider seeing a therapist however, although maybe the Sopranos has changed that.
Shouldn't Tuna TX top all of them?
