I come form a small and boring British town in Hampshire... It's nice in how it's quite a rich county and I even live in the richer area ("Cheapest house in the richest area" as my Dad says...)

Mine does, yay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotorua

Also, fun fact. The guy who plays Jango Fett and the Clones in the newer Star Wars movies, Temuera Morrison, he lives just down the road from my house. Like, 2 minutes walk.

He's selling the place though..

i lived in East Marion, NY until i was like twelve. i don't actually remember a whole lot about the town itself (all i saw of it was on the bus route and it all looked pretty much the same) but it's interesting to note that there is only one black family.

i live in Vanceboro, NC now, which is only slightly larger and pretty much just a big cliche rural town. also i never knew the strawberry festival had a street dance before tonight that is pretty cool.

Yeah, it does! Not too big of a place but has a few semi-important bits, I spose.

You're god damn straight my hometown has a Wiki page!  But I grew up in DC so apparently I "don't count."

Well.  You just try telling that to America.

Not where I was born, but I have lived here most of my life, so I might as well say so. There is a semi-large debate as to whether we are a town, community, or what. Our chamber of commerce seems to think it is a separate place of some sort, but since we are so heavily tied to Jacksonville, many people just say we are part of it.

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit

but Detroit doesn't really count because it's huge and whatnot. let me just say, they sure make Detroit look a LOT better than it actually does, hah. those pictures are of the good parts. mostly it's just burned down houses and stuff like that. you gotta be real careful in Detroit, because that's where the weak are killed and eaten and people get shot every day. also, drugs aplenty. it's a really sad city. :[ especially if you go to one of those women and children shelters for people who's families have been involved in gang fights, drug deals, etc... and they're all very messed up people. i'm glad i moved out of Detroit. o_o

EDIT: after all, the motto is "We Hope For Better Things; It Shall Rise From the Ashes" (but in Latin). at least [/ especially]Kwame Kilpatrick isn't in office anymore.

really not that interesting!!!

edit:

"In the late 1990s the town was listed by a contributor to the knowhere guide as "the most boring place on Earth"[4]. The contribution was specifically referring to Wednesday afternoon which is 'early closing' in Fakenham. This comment, made by an individual, was taken and quoted out of context as "voted the most boring place on Earth" and very rapidly the story was running in national newspapers with the town council defending the town and spending considerable time, money and effort trying to prove that this was not the case."

 At least yours has railroads and Girlscouts and stuff, mines just some demographic information and geography (just latitude and longitude).

Yes, it's pronounced White.
