GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Where's Everyone From?
Posted by: brandon Jun 7 2007, 07:00 PM
I was just curious if anyone is in the same area as me. I'm from Wilmington, North Carolina. But I've been living in the DC area for the last 2 years. I'm going to be moving back to NC in August though.

I live in a small rural town called Wallaceburg in Southern Ontario, Canada.

Liverpool, European capital of culture! 
Posted by: Scott Gentzen Jun 7 2007, 08:46 PM
That's three on the site that I know of that are in the DC area. I'm out in Centreville, VA. The other guys can probably speak up for themselves.
I've lived within 30 miles of where I live now for gosh, almost 25 years now. Which is kinda odd, because looking back as a kid, it seemed like I moved around lot more.

Lawrence Kansas, University town of about 80,000, just west of Kansas City (world renowned for holding the record for the most guitarists playing a song (Smoke on the Water) simultaneously. The guy who invented basketball has his bones buried here. Unless Roy and Dean secretly exhumed them when nobody was looking and took them to Carolina (wouldn't put it past them). Kansas is famous for The Wizard of Oz. Thats about it.
edited: more detail.

I'm from Uppsala, Sweden, wich is like 70 km north of Stockholm. Just close enough so I'm able to get there fast with a train, but far enough to not feel like a stockholmare, perfect
Posted by: MickeM Jun 8 2007, 09:20 AM
Sweden, Stockholm. The capital of sexy women... at least during summer time
Posted by: fkalich Jun 8 2007, 09:47 AM
Nope, i assure you that place is Oxford Mississippi. University of Mississippi. You are never going to approach the sexy women reading you get in a town with a state University in the US. University of Kansas is pretty high i would say on that list good. But i will defer to the Southern Girls.
Besides, I learned that it is a myth that Sweedish women all have huge wabongas. I understand that statistically, that is not the case at all.
Posted by: Henrik Skotth Jun 8 2007, 12:08 PM
I live on a hill, called Kinnekulle, surrounded by flatlands on one side and the lake Vänern (biggest lake in Europe, outside of Russia) on the other. We live on the southeastern side, towards the flatlands, with a fantastic 40 kilometer view that is the most stunning in the mornings (the sunrise) and when it's foggy, actually (because there is almost never any fog up here, only in the flatlands, which looks quite fascinating).
Our house is called "The Sunny Hillside" (Solbacken in swedish, we don't have streetnames out here where I live), and it really lives up to that name
Anyway, I used to live in Gothenburg for five years before moving here, and following up on the "capital of"-trend, I'd say it's the swedish capital of humour...!
(let's see if the rest of the swedes agree )

Im from Russia, Saint Petersburg and i think THAT is the European capital of culture!
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jun 8 2007, 01:21 PM
Are they all blonde, or is that just a stereotype??
Wabongas? You must be talking about the size of their fingers for spanning frets when playing the guitar, right?
Posted by: MickeM Jun 8 2007, 01:36 PM
It's true... And all of them like soccer
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jun 8 2007, 01:41 PM
Wow, Guitar capital of the universe, and the Women are all blonde and sexy - what's not to love ???
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 8 2007, 02:32 PM
I live in a city called Buenos Aires in Argentina.. The place where lives some of the most beatifull women of the world.

don't worry, being from the same City as Vanilla Ice isn't something to be Cocky about.

Springfield Missouri, USA here. Not really famous for much. Brad Pitt is from here, and if we get our way we might be the Springfield that premieres the new http://www.springfieldnews-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070608/NEWS01/706080431. Only the children play soccer around here. Sorry to the rest of the world but we just don't care for it. Weird. I think there is just way to much running involved.

yea, although i heard it wasnt really because of soccer, but some economy thing, but you never know
Posted by: JVM Jun 12 2007, 01:09 AM
El Salvadorians don't take this the wrong way, but that reminded me of the scene in Zoolander where he gets challenged to a "walk off"

I've lived in 5 states over the 17-year course of my life - PA, WA, FL, NJ, and now TX. I currently reside in Austin TX about 15 miles from Downtown out near Cedar Park (the suburbs). It's pretty cool here - lots of culture and such. Lots and Lots of music (most of which is just bad bar bands though). Austin is sometimes referred to as "The Live Music Capital of the World" though.
And we have ACL and SXSW! w00t.
I'll be going to college in Chicago in a year though. I can't wait! I love cities!

What part of Northern Virgina? I'm in Alexandria, but I'm from North Carolina...um, home of Thelonious Monk, John Coltraine, Charlie Daniels, Doc Watson, the best BBQ, the worst education, tons of bluegrass and one of the largest movie studios on the east coast. I figured that since everyone was doing the "home of.." thing I would too. Man, Germany though, home of good beer....amen to that.
