I have lived in many places in my life, for instance:...... confused: The City of Hutchinson is boring for several reasons, 1. NO ECONOMY, NO GOOD attractions. There is plenty of Night Life in Hutchinson, but most of that involves drinking. It has been made very clear...... proud2serve: What about Hutchinson is boring? I really am interested in your thoughts and how we can make it better. What would make it exciting? I know that most young people think that......

Hello, CityNoise.
I, too would like to see more photos on the front-page. No offense, but...... Dave: Jacksonville is not boring. There is peace and quiet AND excitement and variety.

Just because we kicked your ass in the revolutionary war and because...... aer suzuki: flipped when i saw misfits lyrics in citynoise. a few years ago i started going through a misfits listening resurgence that still hasn't ended. along with the ramones and the groovie ghoulies they've proven the......
