Splendid. (fucking backwater hoboville)

Abundant (this town has once had the status of ghost town for about ten years, due to its extreme poverty rate that drew almost every business out of…business. Doing a bit better today though).

Constructive (erecting a huge clock in the town square, instead of fixing the bad roads or putting up traffic lights where they’re badly needed)

Undead (my town got out of its gutter by merging with two other small nearby towns. They used to have their respective names, but now all three are considered the same. It’s like a zombie!)

Interesting (while we do have a sweet little library, our town may be defined through crime, poverty and way too many pizza joints)

We do have this funny urban legend about a kid walking down a main street waving a severed hand at cars though.

@Cruiser it sounds just fantastic. But why didn’t you say, “tropical?”

Cruiser's avatar

@Aster Because the past few weeks it has rained 20 minutes every day and been in the 90’s and on Monday Hurricane force winds has knocked out power to 500,000 homes and businesses! ;)

Oh. Well, u like excitement. lol Here, there’s never any excitement. You can count on 100 degrees for at least two months straight. Winter is very nice, though.
