I really, really enjoyed my time in Gainesville. The university is cool, lots of artist people in town, good live music scene. I _love_ the sound of dew dripping off of the palmetto trees (I _think_ they were palmettos), beautiful area when it rains. :shrug:

Seriously - the fact that everyone piled on Phoenix sucks! My SO is always asking when are we going out there next.
SO you lose Charles Goyette and 1010 and get beat up on DU all in one week!

1010 is staying AAR for awhile yet! The new station owners are letting AAR stay on the air til they can find a new spot on the dial. I've got Charles on now. Hey, let me know when you're coming out here. Maybe we can get together for lunch or something. If it's baseball season I can get some of my girlfriends together and we could see a game. I'm a baseball junkie!

I'm always trying to weasel Phoenix into my schedule - we do market research for pharma companies, and they usually limit Phoenix to "old people diseases" plus fungal infections (which is how I learned More Than I Ever Wanted to Know About Valley Fever). A few times I've been lucky enough to get Phoenix scheduled for early February so I could swing down to Tucson for the Gem Show.
Baseball sounds good to me, or lunch somewhere!

Midwesterners are honest, hard working people who would auction off a kidney for a total stranger if s/he needed the $$. We get a bad rap for being in "flyover country", but we do know what's going on, once we get to the truth of the matter.

Where else would you find an entire town holding car washes, services-rendered sales and pancake breakfasts for someone who needed the money for almost any reason? I never heard about this when I lived in cities but it's an everyday occurence in a small town in the Midwest.

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee; We don't take no trips on LSD We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street; We like livin' right, and bein' free.
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
We don't make a party out of lovin'; We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo; We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy, Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball. We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear; Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen. Football's still the roughest thing on campus, And the kids here still respect the college dean.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Old Glory, down at the courthouse, In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

if you're progressive. On the other hand, there are many, many good people there. I've never understood how people with such open hearts can have such closed minds. (I'm speaking generally, of course. There are liberals in Muskogee, too, but bear in mind that this is the town that gave us Dr. Tom Coburn, the US senator who declared that Cherokees aren't real Indians. :eyes: My family was _awfully_ glad to hear a 100 percent Caucasian guy establish himself as the arbiter of who is and isn't NDN. :eyes: x 3 brazillion.)

Not sure if it's true or apocryphal: the Merle Haggard tour bus passed through the town, everyone aboard stoned to the gills, and they wrote the song in a fit of hysterics.
It would fit: Merle was quite the cokehead back in the day.

that's just my $.02 though-- after all, I don't mind Phoenix.

the letter/number streets are mostly downtown. Which actually makes navigating the city extremely easy.
It is boring, but come on, you can come up with a better reason to call it that besides the names of the streets, can't you?

35. Nope, that's all I got-- I was held hostage there for 36 hrs. once |

over a Christmas w/ people I didn't really know or like & there was no escape!!!! Nowhere to go, nothing to do--all shut down. I actually had an attack of what can only be called acute claustrophobia--something I'd never had before or since. Whew Im getting a little sweaty and heart pounding just thinking about it. I'm sure that experience colored my perception of Lincoln Nebraska somewhat. Most cities of any size have a diverse enough population that SOMETHING will be open on Christmas day, but not Lincoln. (this was about 20 yrs ago though so maybe it's changed.)

39. Yeah, it's changed a bit |
|
I remember when I was a kid everything would be closed down on Christmas day. Most things still are, as they are everywhere else, but not EVERYTHING. The population is a lot more diverse than it was 20 years ago. Mostly thanks to its designation as a refugee city. Lots of people from Vietnam, Bosnia, and various African countries.
Sounds like your experience was negative more because of the people you were with than by the city itself though. I lived there for 7 years (and within an hour of it my entire life until about 4 months ago) and I admit it's relatively boring. But I certainly wouldn't put it at the top a list of most horrible places.
Speaking of which, have you ever been to Iowa? :scared:

the people who live there, and who are attracted to live there?
Compare "A, B, C, D, E, etc." with....
a city (New Orleans) where streets are named after Greek mythology--i.e. Dryades, Euterpe, Prytania (nymphs), Elysian Fields, Terpsichore (Greek muse of music and art). There's the Indian names too like Tchoupitoulas. Certain people are attracted to certain places bc of the whole vibe... as reflected in historical place names.

except that it really says more about who was in control when the city was planned and what was in vogue at the time rather than who lives there.
Most Midwestern cities were built on a grid with the letter/number system. And yet, not all Midwestern cities are unoriginal and/or boring.
Heck, it's not only the Midwest. Look at New York City. 57th street and 4th avenue? Yawn. And yet...not a boring city.
Or Atlanta, where every street has the word "peach" or "piedmont" in it. Wholly unoriginal, but the city itself has some spunk.
Your argument may have merit in that cities with original street names tend to be interested. However, that does not lead to the logical conclusion that those without original street names are therefore boring.

Oh come on, Im just ragging -- as we were invited to do so by the O.P.! I didn't conclude that cities were boring BECAUSE of their boring street names, I concluded that boring street names can be but one facet of a city's boring-ness. A subtle difference there... No, the street names are definitely not the whole story but I still think people are attracted to places (or not) depending on the "vibe" and history (as reflected in place names. architecture, local traditions, etc.)
Actually now that I think about it-- probably the most boring names and places of all are those newer suburban developments with the fake names and fake identities. Like "Ridge Valley" -- what the hell is THAT? How can a place be both a "ridge" (top of hill) and a valley both. And then you look around and see neither a "ridge" nor a "valley!" No sense of place, no nothing. Now THATS boring.
Anyhoo--Im signing off, have to leave-- have a good non-boring wkend!

the nine river-lake streets in the Coliseum Square area are the nine Muses: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Polymnia, Urania, (rats, had to go to the map for) Thalia.
Prytania is something else in Greek mythology. Elysian Fields translates into French as "Champs-Elysees". Can you imagine Stanley Kowalski living on the Champs-Elysees?

one time, i was training a girl for my job, which required driving a route to pick up water samples for testing. Anyway, we were in zanesville, and stopped for gas out near the edge of town. She had to go to the bathroom, so she went inside. She came out ten seconds later...
When she walked in, there were 8 or so guys talking, but they stopped, dead silent, and stared at her as she walked toward the bathroom (she was pretty attractive). needless to say, she got the fuck out of there. Not to say that's what all of zanesville is like, but you know...

Great thrift store shopping there, though, largely due to the movement of Air Force personnel and their families through the town.

It is mostly a gigantic strip mall. One of the most unattractive cities I've ever seen. And the airport, DFW... Eeew.

tops the list of my crappiest city I've ever been to. Others:
Tacoma, WA - Awful smell from a nearby paper mill. Stockton CA - Horrible. El Paso TX - doesn't help that Juarez is 1 mile away. Jackson Mississippi - home to my relatives. last time I was there (1986) still horrificly racist. Larimie WY - Small, drab, cold, and lifeless Bakersfield - armpit of CA Rancho Cucomunga/Santa Clarita - If you live out there you DO NOT live in LA!
taught.
