I live in Montreal. It's full of interesting people, good food, nice architecture, and a million things to do at any given time.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this city.

I live in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Things I like about it:

1) College girls

n the city the population was spread out with 11.5% under the age of 18, 54.1% from 18 to 24, 16.9% from 25 to 44, 10.2% from 45 to 64, and 7.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 22 years. For every 100 females there were 82.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 80.2 males.


2) It's an hour from Lansing, Saginaw and Grand Rapids.

3) College girls.

4) More bars than churchs.

5) One of the lowest unemployment rates in Michigan (I'm aware that's on par with claiming to be the warmest city in Alaska).

6) College girls.

7) It's big enough to have some things to do, but not big enough to be too crowded or have criminal issues (there have been 2 murders in the last 20 years).

Things I dislike:

1) I can't get a seat at my favorite restaurants when the college kids are in town.

2) Walking to the bars in the winter.

3) Racist fuckbags who cry because the tribal members in town get $70,000 annual per capita payments. However I do enjoy the irony that they then go and blow all their money in the casino, thereby funding the per capita payments.

Denver's quite nice, there's a decent lot of culture (Broadway road companies, musuems, concerts, all that), the place isn't too terribly overcrowded yet (though we do have counties in Colorado with more people in them than Wyoming, but then again, very few states don't). The weather is great, especially the winters which are quite mild compared to the Northeast where I grew up. Lots and lots of sunshine (300+ days a year). Even in the summer, when the daytime temps get up in the 90s, once the sun sets, the temp drops like a rock and the nights are deliciously cool.

Colorado itself can be oddly conservative, though since 2006 that's been changing (the GOP lost their majority in our House delegation, both Senators are Democrats, and the Democrats have also controlled both houses of the state legislature the last four years). We are home to Tom "Are You Here Legally?" Tancredo, who has just now personally disemboweled the Colorado Republican Party by denouncing the primary candidates for governor and carrying through with his threat to run as on the American Constitution Party ticket.

North Carolina is a nice place. It has a little bit of everything. The drawback is that too many people are moving in.

I live in a small town in the SE United States in a house out in the woods with four dogs and a girl who has yet to get tired of putting up with me.

Pro:

Privacy

Great view

Can shoot off firearms without getting up off the porch

Plenty of room for the dogs, and if they kill something and eat half of it, it's just some varmint, and not some damn cat.

Con:

College nearby, which results in influx of college students into town every year.

I love my tap water, my perfectly clear and tasteless tap water! All others have foul taste's as they're full of nasty minerals, but not my tap water! Ooooooh! How I love my tap waaater!"

It would be nice if the place was ten degrees cooler in summer.

What I like about where I live is that it's close to a major metropolitan area, yet isn't made of cramped apartments. What I don't like is that garbage pickup is less often than where I lived before, meaning the garage smells awful for a longer period of time.

I like that my town in small, and that people here seem to live at a slower pace. I hate that I do not have easy access to a mall. If I want to go to one, I have to drive an hour or so to Springfield, MO or West Plains, MO to visit one. Places close at 9:00 pm and there is not much to do.

Booze and cheese cost too much and I wish I was closer to a large body of water and there are too many people but really I'd say that about any town much over 10,000 people. On the plus there is one decent cheese shop/deli in town and pretty much anything else I want is within a 30 min drive.

Over all it's a decent place, mostly I miss being near water.

Pros:Decent environment (clean)

Good looking women

Cons: If you leave downtown, small town cops (ugh)
During the summer, we have many drunk frat-boys walking around.

That is true, ever since the early 90s, the town I grew up in became a city and Charlotte has exploded. I think pretty soon we'll see a strip of cities from Rock Hill, SC all the way up to Greensboro, NC and Winston Salem, NC.

Cosumaria inhabited the land now known as Cosumar for dozens of generations thousands of years ago. For hundreds of years Cosumaria was prosperous and the citizens were happy. Eventually, the land became more and more corrupt as the Kings became power hungry. This led to a dark time for Cosumaria, the people were oppresed and were stripped of their rights. On the year 1208, a civil war broke out between rebels and the corrupt government. On 1224, the rebels emerged victorious. The rebels founded the nation Cosumar. Ever since, Cosumar has been ruled by a fair line of Kings and have achieved many great things. Cosumaria is now referred to by modern Cosumarites as Ancient Cosumaria.

It's warm, which is wonderful as despite being born in Canada, I can't deal with cold weather. I like the history here, even though most of it has been completely paved over. I like that the people are generally helpful and friendly, more than I'm used to.

I don't like that the trains are so expensive, and that pretty much the only entertainment here is shopping. The humidity has been hard to adjust to, and the cicada are driving me nuts.

Grr, I wanna live in Tokyo, it sounds amazing.
I can't believe that's true on the entertainment part though, and I'm more of a cold weather person.

Let's see... what to like about Oakland...

I like watching black women fight in parking lots. I like being close to beaches. I like driving like I am in Death Race 2000 whenever I go for a drive. I like fantasizing about what puts police choppers in the air or sends ambulances wailing through the night. Places nearby open at all hours of the night -which didn't happen when I lived in the country. Maybe something else, but I couldn't think of it at the moment.

I dislike having the same bum, who is so far gone that he can't tell if I am a man or a woman even with the grand scale of my breasts, hit me up for change every time I go to the gas station despite the fact that I paid him a dollar to leave me alone. I dislike fretting over whether or not someone from the flat lands will wander up to my neighborhood in the hills for a free TV. Hills. I am anti-inclines. Um... and pretty much everything else.
*insert boring personal information, political slant, witty quotes, and some fancy text color here*
