Chicago's western suburbs: my biggest gripe is the high COL. Id love to own a house near downtown Geneva, Hinsdale, Naperville, etc, but its ridiculously expensive. Then we have massive property taxes, etc, etc, etc, etc.

No alcohol sales on Sunday. I mean, come on. It's an outdated law. Sometimes, you just wanna get drunk on a Sunday, you know? Take some stress off my mind

Indianapolis winters= Cold, cloudy, windy, with not much snow and nobody comes out to play, it's brutal!! To be fair the summers make up for it.

In Chicago in the city:

public transit issues are always being bickered about non-stop

crime rate in certain areas. It's all block by block, but overall it's a huge issue

weather is always an issue, but since people here know exactly what to expect, and we see everything, it's more of just a random whining to make yourself feel better at the moment than actually CONCERNED about the weather. Nothing at all you can do about it...

It's the weather in Central Texas. The summer, which lasts about 5 months plus other days scattered here and there, are way too hot, too humid, or too hot and humid. The other weather related dislike is tornadoes.

I'll be fair too like X-Greensboro Resident and say that small partof Spring and Autumn and most of Winter make up for it.

I HATE the weather in Houston, summer is unbearable (for me) and it seems last forever. And we can even get close to 90 in November and 80's in December. We have no winter and I hate that too.

We live in a rural area, on a dirt road, and everything is pretty much kosher. Then some idiot dumps an entire glad trash bag on the road. Then of course the coyotes tear open the bag to get at the McDonald's bag, etc. Then a recliner gets dumped down a ways. Or a mattress.

Don't these idiots have any conscience? We live in a beautiful part of the country, no crime, no high COL, nothing really bad.... except a small percentage of people who like to dump garbage and mutts.

It really is bewildering to me how anyone can just pull over and dump a small home-made church pew. LOL. I kid you not. I saw a church pew on the side of the dirt road. What happened to that church pew to make them excommunicate it??!! Was it possessed?

It's so funny, it's sad!
