I'll wait this one out. It's too easy for me, but I'll let some others have a go.
I enjoy hanging on Thames though. Via Via makes a mean slice of pizza as well.

-I am where the newly weds and where the nearly dead come to.
-My average housing cost soared to 900K at one point but soared down near 200K in about a year due to crime and bad economy.
-Obama went here recently to try to rehabilitate the city from its rough economy.

Newarkbomb, i think your post is talking about Fort Myers, FL. As for my post, that's not the correct city. It is a Northeastern city though.
