I don't really know Moraga. I was just taking the opportunity to pick on CCC a bit. Lets be honest ... every location has its good and bad (some more than others) sides ... and residents.

Having done four or five significant projects in the Lafayette area ... I have at least a three page Lafayette is/isn't list. I haven't seen it in a while ... but would be glad to look for it ... and post a few.

Most go something like ... "Lafayette is the kind of place where a client will say ... 'I want a house that represents who I am' ... and then proceeds to have me design a place just like the one I did for so-and-so."

FTW! Plus, home of the Swingin' Neckbreakers...

Although not a city, the people I've met from Wyoming are interesting in a 21st century land pirate type of way.

Have to echo JPier and Rambo.

Charleston is a great city (and nearby Savannah is perhaps the greatest drinking city in America).

Miami is the capital of the Third World. You really feel as if you've left America in some regions. Throw in the nearby 'Glades and it's collection of Seminoles, Miccosukees, and Crackers and youh ave total WIN. I once went three days in Miami without seeing another Anglo.

Seriously, you made a good choice. I have a great book of Ghosts of Upstate South Carolina, and another on Tales of the Low Country.

Are these fiction?

 

[LawrenceMD]

the stretch between Long Beach and Compton...

its like race/religion divided tribes coming together. the meanest black, latino, aryan race, and hasidic jew gangs come are a stones throw from each other.


ironically the official MLB umpire training camps are based in those two very locations.

They are presented as fact.

Of course, if you believe ghosts don't exist, then all ghost books are fiction.

Funny you say this because I thought it was interesting seeing large numbers of white people speaking Spanish.

I liked Miami quite a bit. It's the capital of the Hispanic world, not the Third World. The US will be the capital of the Third World soon enough.

Seattle has the cultural depth of a franchise coffehouse. Porland? Whatever. No, no children, New Orleans had it all, goddammit!! History, the big bowl wherein were poured French, Spanish, African, British, Native American ingredients all mixed together with just the right combination of corruption, voodoo, genius, beauty, sex, yellow-fever, life,death and jazz. Goddamn that hurricane!! We had fuckin' Sodom and Gomorrah right in the US and we let it get away. Las Vegas is just a bunch of yahoos behaving badly and it'll die when the lights go out - New Orleans had the real thing , OLD WORLD DECADENCE and it took the hand of God to smite it, Geez , man it was biblical! All of this assuming that we're agreed that New York is not a US city.

Edit: Sometimes the homeless people are interesting. I'll give you that.
