Macedonians are #1: I was watching Jeopardy (the smartest game shoe on television) and ine of the questions were " what ancient Macedonian conquered most of the known world " and the answer was " Alexander the Great " If u search "macedonia" on wikipedia it will show the...

in response to Θεσσαλονίκη

Macedonians are #1: Alexander the Great is macedonian because he was born in anciant macedonia which now Greece, and just because the part of macedonia where alexander the great was born is now in greece does not mean he is greek. FYRO Maedonia is the improper way of saying the country's name, it...

John Humperdink: Salina is a very prospering town...the north end that "the locals" told you about is the old, bad end of town. Go back and take pictures of the south end of town, you'll see progression and a ton of stuff to do.

CartLegger: The store was started by the father of the current owner, so that would be about right--early 1950's.

in response to Ideal Dinettes

Antoine: Have you noticed that the staff don't care about hygiene? They handle cash and food at the same time. I never see them washing their hands after operating the cash registery and they handle raw and cooked food like nothing happened. Sorry but this thing need to stop. I filed...

in response to Decarie Hot Dogs

Brad: Finally made it into the Pizza Machine for the first time a few weeks ago, and went back this week with my camera. The place is pretty trippy. It's inside a "mall", basically just a big old brick building that is divided up. There is also a club downstairs (with...

CartLegger: You don't have to walk around at dawn to find empty streets in NOLA. When I was there last Jan, there were streets empty all day long in the Quarter. Empty and waiting. I have hope for NOLA still, but more sadness.

in response to French Quarter at Dawn

Hutchinson is dead: John, You hit it right on the head. I don't know why these idiots have to get on here and prop hutchinson up. Do they work for the City? Why do they love Hutchinson? Hutchinson is dead and will not come back from the grave.

in response to America\'s Most Boring Towns: 10

NATE: where is this located?

in response to Wirth Beach House

John Humperdink: Sally, tell us about the "active" area's of hutchinson, We'd all love to know since they aren't obvious. I think the most active place is the highway out of town. Usually trailer trash doesn't know they are trash cuz they are dumb and living better than most of...

in response to America\'s Most Boring Towns: 10

John Humperdink: What's that smell? oh, it's the living sewer town of hutchinson, with all the people drowning in their own scum. Papergirl, you are living in your own little dream world...I think you are smoking some good stuff to be that disillusioned. Don't you read the paper? And who...

Gata: the term "Brick City" originated in the Central Ward (most notably, Prince Street; a friend of mine coined the term) in the 70s-80s. It took a minute, but the term started to spread like crazy, and now it's a common nick for here. Believe me; I did my research on...

Bass Girl: I moved here from a town of 2500 people about 7 years ago, and I've watched this town die around me. Many businesses have come and gone, major industrial places for large employment have closed, or are tetering on keeping their doors open or not. I think there...

Liz: I do belive a few locals looked at me with vague ridicule as I took photos of this intricate art yesterday while being remarkably touristy in London. I intend to show my art teacher when term starts and I hope to inspire a school project of sorts.

bed sty-cee!: hello chicago folks-well lets have a little history lesson non of you are spanish, spaniards or latin. all of those words,terms or descriptions belong to europeans, aka white people. all so called hispanics, natural indians are what you are. puerto rico was a port for transporting -slaves, sugar...

upfromflames: yes, it is.

in response to Ideal Dinettes

highwalker: been there a few times last year - 'twas fun while it lasted, the best part was slipping past the (now apparently dismantled) steel gates and fences, and getting into that huge building on the 14th (rooftop view is incredible, and so is the meaty stench on the underground level). but...

in response to The High Line:

Peter: id say, you just get in your car, drive it, and somehow crash it. im too lazy to google it, but i bet you a dollar that single-car accidents account for the majority of annual automobile accidents worldwide. especially in america. i mean, imagine all those soccer moms backing their suvs...
