Chris Erb: My dad lives about 15 minutes from Erb Settlement but my family is actually from Saint John. I actually don't think any Erbs live in Erb Settlement but I'm not 100% sure. I used to get asked that a lot when I lived in Sussex. Now that I'm in...

non-hipster: re: Bushwick. I'm dissapointed in several things I have read here. The fact that blame has been assigned to an entire part of the community (i.e. the whites) for driving out ethnic minorities. First off, no one racial group "owns" a neighborhood; I pushed out no one in my...

Chris Erb: For some reason, when I first saw the picture, I thought Cleethorpes and was very surprised to see that it was. My girlfriend is good friends with someone from Cleethorpes but he generally doesn't have much good to say about the place.

Jamie: as if "someone took the same mile of scenery- pasture, irrigation ditch, farm, endless miles of cornfields- copied it, and pasted it 5,000 times between the northeast and the west coast". kinda like a scooby-doo chase scene, then...

EvilGentleman: Aside from the campy invitations to "See the Tri-County Area's Largest Ball of String" and so on, the heartland actually does have a lot going for it. The beauties of nature are often harder to find, due to the scope of the plains overwheming eveything else, but trust me, if...

in response to St. Patrick\'s Fire

Peter: yeah, some of the ram51 posts were interesting, but when ram51 started posting endless floods of this sort of content, on a seemingly hourly basis, the backlash (and consequent editorial housekeeping) sort of scared the poster away. too much obliquely arbitrary content, i guess.
