That has got to be the most to-the-point, no-fluff description of any city that I have ever read. Kudos! (Really, I'm being serious. I literally laughed out loud at this one.)

I read a book some time ago that was talking about various towns, and what came up about Elkhart is the cruising culture that they apparently have there. So I picture people there spending their Saturday night just cruising up and down the main drag. Maybe because there's nothing else to do?

Port St. Lucie, FL

Port St. Lousy.

Kidding. I wasn’t overall excited with the city, but it’s nice for a quiet retirement enclave.

Huntington, NY (Long Island).

Looks like a good capitol city, and even complete with it being one of the few cities in NY state(other few include Buffalo, and also NYC) where bars stay open till 4am. Also, Washington Park in Albany looks pretty nice, too.

And ah what the heck, let's bring up a smaller town(complete with a SUNY college in it, and shockingly Five Guys actually has a location here!) for once here. Since too often, such smaller towns don't often get brought up in this thread: Potsdam, NY

No longer "the South Bronx by the Sea" but rather a curious and interesting mix of glitz and grime.

Asbury Park, N.J.

Strikes me as a town that comes alive during spring break and quiet most of the time. Halifax, NS Canada?
