You had to add Atlanta, didn't you? It wasn't one of the cities listed...but some people won't be happy unless they can disparage another city for no apparent reason.

He also added Philly. LOL. I don't know what he means by adding his own list of cities. Interesting motivation.

Oh no, those extra cities were up there.... I just deleted them so I could add them on a future thread like this.....


So..... think about those 10 cities I had up there.

[Pfhtex]

- New York - Christmas and crime

- L.A. - Shallow narcissists and debris

- Chicago - Bitter cold that chills you years later

- Houston - Horrendous heat that wards you off for the rest of your life

- Phoenix - Scottsdale, the fakest city on the planet.

- Miami - The most beautiful people who are also accepting and engaging. I try to avoid the word Sexy but that's Miami.

Seattle - Dehydrated-looking stares from unhappy people who misperceive their relative value and ruin an otherwise intriguing area.

- Dallas - Home for too long. I think of bright concrete, valet parking and chasing things I never really wanted.

- Las Vegas - Life. I think of the white noise of slot machines. WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE! L.A. women putting their feet through Hell.

- San Francisco - Compression. NY/Chicago crammed onto 7x7. I think "these people are going after what they want in life."

I was just thinking the same thing...it really gets amusing after a while.

No really, I had Atlanta listed along with the other extra cities, but I cancelled it.
