I'm from Jasper, Alabama. It's been said if you want a hit-man, our town is the best in AL for that. So.
We are also known for being the location of Town of the Living Dead, a syfy show. If you don't know what that is....... Look it up on YouTube. And then pity me.

The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
Yep, I remember taking the ferry across the mersey when I was a kid having a day out to new Brighton. Even that young I was aware of Jerry and the pacemakers, and aware that I was on a ferry across the mersey. Because of that song it still a major tourist attraction to take the ferry across the mersey.
If anyone doesn't know what we're on about...
Kind of depends on where you mean from. Where you live now, where you were born, or where you spent your childhood, all have different answers. Right now, I find myself in Idaho, where friends of mine have called this area "the vortex". It seems the people who are actually from here can be outnumbered by people who moved here, and there has been a huge burst in population.
It's a strange state. It's known for the outdoors and wildlife, and of course the potatoes. Unfortunately, it's also become known worldwide for all the worst reasons. Our legislature just refused to enforce child support out of the fear that the US was falling to Sharia Law. And that is not a joke. This just after the same legislators walked out of a session because a hindu minister was invited. Our school system reached the bottom of the nation, meanwhile being used to test out an unpopular school reform known as the "Luna Laws", yet instead of investing in improving education spending, we enacted rules that put teachers at risk, driving many of them to move out of state in fear for their jobs. While we're not spending money on fixing education, we are willing to spend millions fighting gay marriage in court, and putting up a fight fiercer than any other state to prevent gay Idahoans from marrying. Despite a large movement called "Add The Words", asking the state to add LGBT to protected classes so people can't be fired merely for being gay, which is technically legal here.
The world is seeing this, and there's a weird shame when looking at a British news site commenting on the stupidity of your state. And it's especially sad that in the 90's, Idaho was famous as the home of white supremacy and incidents like Ruby Ridge. So we had a "Idaho is Too Great For Hate" campaign that seemed to be working to clean the image of the state. Then we turn around and do these kinds of things.
We also just got rated 49th by the Humane Society for the treatment of animals. We're also notorious for our drivers and poor road conditions.
So there's a lot going on here. Meanwhile, it is mostly a quiet place to live, people are not going to bother you most of the time. At the same people, people aren't particularly friendly either. Seems it's common to not know your neighbors here. But they usually aren't particularly rude or mean either. They're nice enough but won't go out of their way.
I'd like to go on about the wildlife, the sights of Idaho, the openness and tranquility here. But so much facepalm-worthy stuff going on.

Enjoyed your write up on Idaho. Until I read this the only thing I knew is that Idaho grow potatoes. Do you have any pictures of that openness and tranquility
you talked about; that you would like to post?

I was born in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I've lived in a few places over the years, but have been back in the Jonesboro since 2002. I am moving in June to Georgia.
Personally, I don't think I have any pictures. But if you do a google image search for Idaho, you can see for yourself.
Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are blue.
I've been here most of my life. Yes, we have electricity, air conditioning, running water, and the Internet.

I am from Finland, live in a small town where everyobody knows everyone... OK that wasn't entirely true, in my town
lives a lot of people that I do not know. Finland is a great country to live in and we have things well here. I don't think there
is much to say about the town I live in, it's small and a good place.
A picture from my hometown, except that this ship is no longer there, where it is now on the picture.

Isthat an outdoor market set up beyond the tree?
Nice stories and info in this thread!
Grew up in a one blinking yellow light Maine town and I loved it. Joined the Air Force, was stationed in Germany for four years(also loved it!)then in New Mexico where I separated from active duty(in the reserves now)and lived for 14 years. Moved back to Maine(it was always home)three years ago and hope to stay here a very long time! Live across the bridge from a little place called Bangor(maybe you've heard of it?
)
We're known for some guy named Stephen King, lobster, moose, snow, and North Woods Law. Which doesn't make any of us look good.
