    The Quad Cities, AL (Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, Tuscumbia)... We have a rich history in the music business. Everyone from Aretha Franklin to The Rolling Stones to U2 to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Percy Sledge. All have ties to the area and most have recorded here, like Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman" and The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter". Lots of current musicians live around here or have ties to the area too. The Civil Wars, Jason Isbell, The Alabama Shakes, etc... Even the documentary about it all, called "Muscle Shoals" (it's on Netflix) was featured on Letterman and he gave it high praises. Most people might not know who Will McFarlane is, but he's played guitar with Bonnie Raitt for several years as well as with Jackson Browne... Will is my neighbor. :P

    I live in Portland, Maine, the land of rude tourists, eccentric foodies, f'd up seasons, and a bastion of hipsters that could rival the other Portland.

    I am about to BE a tourist in your city next month. Tell me how to not be rude! I have no interest in pissing off the locals.

    I'm in Vancouver....Washington State. Also known as 'The other Vancouver." Not in Canada, We are right across the Columbia river from the infamous Portland, Oregon, and most of the people who live in my town work over there.

    The best thing about this area is that it's the Pacific Northwest, and you can drive to the most majestic tourist attractions in the continental U.S. Two hours drive to the west is the Pacific Ocean, miles and miles of unspoiled rocky cliffs and secluded beaches.. One hour drive to the North is Mt. St. Helen's Volcanic Monument, which exploded in 1980. One hour drive to the East is the Columbia River Gorge, home of Multnomah Falls. Another hour to the South East will put you on top of 12,000 ft tall Mt. Hood. Three hours to the South is Lavabeds National Monument, Crater Lake, and a host of other mountain lakes to play on in Oregon. Seattle is about four hours north. And Canada about 5 hours.

    It's not all fabulous on the Upper Left Edge, though. We are famous for the rainiest winter weather on the continent, with Seattle holding the record for the most rainy days in a row anywhere on the planet. So don't bother to move here....just come be a tourist in the summer time.
    ^^ This. I'm in Battle Ground, WA a few miles north of Vancouver. The town is named after a battle that was supposed to take place but things kinda got messed up and they never got around to it. That is why you shouldn't try to schedule battles on your own, you should always hire a planner.


    Im in BG, as well. A lifelong resident, actually... born, bred, and raised. I never found a good enough reason to leave, so now im raising my own family here. Some facts about our beloved Battle Ground Lake, and the towns name:

    The lake's origin is volcanic, and is believed to have been formed as a "Maar" volcano. This type of volcano is the result of hot lava or magma pushing up near the surface of the earth and then coming into contact with underground water (The lake is spring-fed). This is thought to have resulted in a large steam explosion, leaving a crater that later formed a lake.
    This area was named for a battle that settlers at Fort Vancouver expected to happen in 1855 between U.S. Army soldiers and some Klickitat Indians. The battle never occurred. Captain Strong, the post commander, allowed some Indians to leave the fort on the promise that they would return after burying their chief (Umtuch) who had been accidentally killed. Most fort residents believed a battle would ensue to get the Indians to return, and therefore dubbed the spot "Strong's Battle Ground." The Indians, true to their word, returned peacefully but the name took hold. Later the area was simply referred to as "Battle Ground."
    We have a Primary School named Captain Strong, and a Middle School named Chief Umtuch to honor this part of our history. Our school district celebrated 100 years not too long ago, as well.

    Duluth, GA

    It was originally called Howell's Crossing, but was renamed Duluth in 1871 after a railroad running between HC and Duluth, Minnesota was approved. We have a super nice Town Green that has helped us rank as 26th in America's Best Places To Move, and 8th in Top 25 Most Uniquely American Cities And Towns. We're home to the minor league hockey team Gwinnett Gladiators, who are affiliated with the NHL's Arizona Coyotes. But we're probably most notable for the Runaway Bride story in 2005, when the woman claimed she had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted, creating a media circus, but really just ran away to avoid a wedding.

    Texas: So hot in summer, bugs fry in mid flight. So cold in winter, parts of men disappear.
