I'm moving to Austin this summer and am hereforth on a quest to collect all the "Keep ______ Weird" bumperstickers I can for my car!
Anyone willing to help me in my quest?
This deserves a new thread, sorry...
Anyways, Weird towns?
hmmm..
Topeka KS,
for having Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church
maybe that's just Kansas in general?
It's hard to tell what town 'is' weird as opposed to me just having weird experiences in a certain town.
I once was in San Antonio and all these naked teenagers ran through a gas station I was partonizing yelling 'yahoo' at the top of their lungs and knocking stuff off the shelves. the rest of us just stood shocked for a few seconds then resumed our transactions.
Now if it was my only visit to this city I might be tempted to say San Antonio was a pretty weird place. San Antonio.
Not weird, but probably Santa Fe, with buildign codes that require everything be built in some traditional Spanish or Native American style.
Berkeley, California is a world of its own. Washington, D.C. also looks physically different from any other American city, looks more like a European city in the tourist areas.
Location: Originally Fayetteville, Arkansas/ now Seattle, Washington!

Gallup NM gets my vote. Especially the weather. We drove through all of NM and it was fine. Got to gallup all of a sudden it was like a blizzard. There literally will be like a couple mile range around gallup where it will be snowing like crazy and then the rest of the state even like a mile outside of town will be fine. Stayed at a hotel that was really weird too lol.
It's not a city, but I vote for Zzyzx Road in California's Mojave Desert. Zzyzx Road is also near Baker, CA, which has the world's largest thermometer and has stores that sell Alien Beef Jerky.
Being form the NYC area, I thought Southern California felt like a different planet....not necessarily weird, though. Just different. I'd guess it's kind of hard for someone who grew up in New York to be weirded out by very much.
