pieca shit

Damn, our counties are neeeearly neighbouring! Damn Berkshire...

Yup, mine's there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Prague

I'm highly impressed at the amount of content in this article... I live in a town of virtually 6,000.

Yup  here

I think MOST towns have a wikipedia page, because even less noteworthy towns near mine have wikipedia pages.

It's interesting that the article for mine has a picture of the Engineer Street bridge, because they just recently redid that whole thing.  It was just this old decrepit bridge that wasn't used for anything and now they've turned it into a decorated walkway...which is actually pretty useless because there aren't many pedestrians here.

# Colonel Harlan Sanders, entrepreneur and founder of the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain
# Arthur Lake, actor who played Dagwood Bumstead in the Blondie movies

I didn't know there were Blondie movies.  That's more interesting than the fact that he's from Corbin.

Each year in early August, Corbin hosts a festival called NIBROC (Corbin spelled backwards) featuring open-air concerts, carnival attractions, a beauty pageant, parade, and other events. The festival is featured, if anachronistically, in the play Last Train to Nibroc [1] by Arlene Hutton. (Though the play is set in the 1940s, the festival itself only dates to 1952.)

Nibroc is usually pretty lame, but I went all the time as a child to ride the rides.  I went last year too because Jefferson Starship came to perform, it was p. great.

Also this article linked to a story about the awful racial issues in Corbin.  This happened sometime around (maybe after?) World War I

"They swore at us and said: 'By God we are going to run all Negroes out of this town tonight,'" said longtime black resident John Turner in a signed affidavit a few months after the incident. He and his wife were taken to the depot at gunpoint and forced to leave.

No wonder we only have like two black families STILL.

Slone now works in a cabinet factory in Corbin. He says he's received some cold looks in town, but for the most part, Corbin has not lived up to its old reputation as a place that's inhospitable to black people.

FOR THE MOST PART it's not lived up to that reputation.  As in, we don't force blacks out at gunpoint anymore, we just give them awful looks.

you should tell us more about what living in Hyderabad is like.

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, which is a major city so fuck yeah it has a wikipedia page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh,_Pennsylvania

However my family currently lives in the suburbs slightly outside the main city, and that too has a wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_Hills

Growing up in a major city is pretty cool, with Pittsburgh having the Steelers, a strong economy with LOTS of business districts/shopping, a nationally famous healthcare system (and the University of Pittsburgh to go with it) a pretty cool bar/clubbing scene once you're old enough, a lot of corporate headquarters, and generally a lot to do with all the cultural knowledge a big city has to offer! 

I didn't realize the 'magnitude' of growing up where I did, until I went to college in a small town (where about 50% of the students were from small towns), and everyone seemed to me to be boondockish country boy/girl hicks who don't know shit about shit. Today I still laugh when people say 'HEY HAVE U EVER SEEN A SKYSCRAPER'

what the fuck people

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miass this is where don miguel, the legendary translator of RM95 and RM2k lives... it's also where his game "NIGGERS VS SATAN" takes place

SO UM.... you sort of live 10 minutes away from me. i go to exeter, in reading.

sweet!! RM2K is in our blood round these parts

I'm actually at my univerity in philly now but yeah you're pretty close to my house/my old college! consider Albright

Today I still laugh when people say 'HEY HAVE U EVER SEEN A SKYSCRAPER'

what the fuck, west PA is like a different country

I grew up in Hanover, PA.  Yes, it is the snack food capital of the world.  It's an okay place, but I am glad to be out of there.  I know live outside of Philadelphia, specifically in King of Prussia, PA.  According to wikipedia, it is home to the largest shopping complex in the US.  I go to the King of Prussia mall almost every day for lunch, and I find it hard to believe it is the biggest in the US.  I like this area much better than Hanover, but since I am only a short drive away from Philly, there is actually stuff to do.

I'm surprised at how many PA people there are here.

It's largest in terms of retail space, according to wikipedia. the Mall of America is the largest in terms of overall area

kop rules, I go there all the time

I love how they mention "tourist attractions" as if tourists want to come here.

The only tourists we get are people coming to see the first KFC.



They are all Asian.



I wish I was just being stereotypical but I have never ever seen a non-Asian tourist there (I know which ones are the tourists because no one else eats there, it is so shitty.  Also they are always taking pictures.)
