baseball legend willie mays also referred to it as "the most racist city" he'd ever visited, in his autobiography.

We have this. It makes perfect sense, as does Chicago's. What fucks DC nine ways from Sunday is those goddamned diagonals. Newbies to that city are advised to travel with a native navigator at first! |

"Kuopio" is one of the few words that is typed entirely with the right hand on the QWERTY keyboard, but entirely with the left hand on the Dvorak keyboard layout."
Jeez! oh man! Besides that, nothing notable occurs here. Boring little shithole of a town. I've lived here for a mere 7 months, so I'd never call it my hometown though... Especially as I lived in my previous town for 20 years. Also, trivial curiosity, my town is a "friendship city" with Minneapolis. (heyo ´Clone!) |

born in DC but honestly know very little much as i probably should, and exploded wagon wheel is sorta true, there are a few windy side streets then you have avenues that split right thru the city
the only thing really notable about Olney, Maryland where i have lived for the majority of my life is that Skip Groff lives here, he owns Yesterdy and Today Records (used to be the hang out in the early 80s DC/MD punk scene situated in Rockville, but is now a mail order only) and ran Limp Records that released both the first Slickee Boys LP, and the first ever released track by Bad Brains, not to mention recording and mixing a good portion of Minor Threat's catalog and compiling the groundbreaking :30 over DC compilation in '78 featuring among others: Slickee Boys, The Raisinets, and Half Japanese |

Ecstatic Peace is about 2000 feet away from my house.
But more exciting than that is the fact that Wesley Willis performed about 500 feet away from my house in 2001. The next day my house burned down. That was a weird weekend.

I live on Kent Island, an island in the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland.
It is the third oldest permanent English settlement in the United States, after Jamestown, Virginia and Plymouth, Massachusetts.

This really shit Doctor Who spin-off series is set and largely filmed where I live. Cardiff, South Wales. Check this shit out:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood/ As a result, I occasionally spot z-list celebs Eve Myles and John Barrowman in a bar or outside theatres where they have been in a panto or something. |

I'm a little beyond that, even if it doesn't make sense.
