Foo - Brag about your city ... succinctly

Let's hear it. What is the best thing about your city ... in 7 words or less :twitchy:

Mine - 'great bike trails along the river.'

My wife's description - 'Encourages the arts. Close to everything. Parks.'

Great, great system of bike trails; probably the worst selection of bikes I have seen on CL . . .

You can't have it all.

Sorority girls! (Purdue University)), in particular, ΑΦ

Great trails everywhere, comfortable weather (for me at least) 95% of the time, tons of bikes, good public transit, mostly friendly people, very art-supportive, nice parks, mountains, and lots of water, both salt and fresh.

Small, but still has everything I need.

Near the ocean, near the mountains....nice!

Surrounded by a lake. Seriously.

You guys are both lucky that the Foo police disbanded a few years back. Since you exceeded the 7 words, I will selectively alter your descriptions on your behalf.

bikemig - 'great system of roadways for hummers'.

Lamplight - 'landscape dotted with oil refineries'

For the rest of you ... keep it to 7 words, or suffer the wrath of my sarcasm.

mass murder free for almost 20 years! (I've only been here for 5)

I might have to visit sometime :D

Affordable, parks, trails, great transit, near mountains.

No riots in the past 25 years.

ME!!!

One of the top cities to raise a family.

Yeah, I couldn't do it in 7 or less.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure you could have by dropping the first 3 words. Let's see:

Indy_Rider - "neighborhood built on old garbage dump".

See, I managed that one in 6 words :rolleyes:

Rural, low traffic roads; mountains and lakes.

Small, much potential. Failure to capitalize.

Close to Boulder:p

The only place I've been to in Virginia is Roanoke ... actually Smith Mountain Lake outside of Roanoke. Was there on a course. Loved the area.

Bikefriendly great fishing beautiful sunrises low COL (bikefriendly IS one word)

Less polluted than Beijing

Savannah: Mostly Mild, Humid with pulsing Languid spots.

'I found sobriety in Pittsburgh.'

I will forever be in debt to some of the people of this city. They found my life valuable, and saved it.

Couch

It's better than Birmingham Alabama.

Sorry that's all I got.

You must have some great friends.

I'm intrigued.

Totally didn't see your seven word limit until just now. :o

And nearby oil refineries means cheap gas...oh, no wait. That's not even close to true! :D

Our mayor is cooler than yours.

I'm intrigued.

You should be.

You must have some great friends.

I do. I feel blessed.

Couch

Has lotsa whoopie pies, buggies too.

I'm in both Rural Retreat and Wytheville (10 mins apart). They're very different than Roanoke. Wytheville has enormous potential, being at an intersection of two interstates. One can be anywhere on the east coast and out to the Mississippi in roughly 12-13 hours from here. It's almost perfectly located as a business hub, but it seems like the town/county runs people off, or people don't see the potential.

I just want more clients who want me to design buildings.

It's not a city....

Poet Walt Whitman spent his summers here.

Super-diverse, everything's close, plentiful public transportation.

(Barely edges out "Jesus ****ing christ it's bloody expensive here!")

On the border, so *real* Mexican food! :thumb:

Hot, damm hot, please don't move here.

It's farther south than Edmonton.

I agree with all the points except public transit. Although compared to some other cities, specially SoCal, that is true. In general it still kind of sucks.

+1 on all counts, I might have selected a different expletive, though.

Also, why do I get the feeling that MP is Amish and sneaking onto BF when no one's looking?

Arnold no longer lives here.

most polite (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-01-15-cities-manners_x.htm) and most attractive (http://www.asylum.com/2010/11/09/travel-leisure-charleston-s-c-is-city-with-the-most-attractive-people/).

Has the largest selection of Mexican restaurants. Can't walk out of the house without tripping over one.

Our meter maids aren't armed... yet.

One can practice their survival skills here.

It's farther south than Edmonton.


Burton Cummings lives there too, doesn't he?

Or did he go "Back to Saskatoon"? (Hah, had to cheat for the 7 word limit)

10 lakes within city limits (with trails)

Previous mayor, now governor, owns a brewery.
