Stockton, CA. Nobody's heard of it even though it had the potential to be state capital back in olden days and it's the official crash site of the Fantastic 4. (What happened to our publicity? Oh, that's right! The city government's retarded!)

Some place extremely cool.. Well.. Pittsburgh isn't that.
Might as well put up city closed signs because the whole city closes at about 5pm.. Most places around 4pm. The whole towns dirty and floods constantly. Your not even safe if you park in the parking garages.. LOL. Massive water main break lately and the parking garage turned into a swimming pool South shore is somewhat cool, Hard Rock Cafe with a lightshow and a few classy restaurants. Stays open a bit later. I suppose you might like it if you were a sports fan.. A little warning... No matter what time of year it is, dont park down by the river! Unless you want it towed out full of water.. Ive seen it a lot.

I originally come from a small town called Middlefield Ohio, 4th largest Amish population in the world.. I kid you not. How cool is that I actually get asked all the time if im amish :-| It's actually more of a small town composed of mostly stores and restaurants (Giant Eagle, Wallmart, Wendys,Mcy D's,Burger King, Hardware and autopart stores galore). We just got a large wallmart. The town is sort of a clash of cultures because its sort of suburban. Im happy because there are tons of parks around and close enough to the city to have high speed internet and cable and close big stores, and far enough away to get away from the people..Something you cherish if you live 5 minutes walking distance from downtown. People think its sort of strange when they hear someone with large bass thumping down the road, and they look and its an amish buggy. I kid you not, some of them actually have amazing soundsystems, the horses get used to it after a while.
Again.. Im not amish, but you definately wont get pulled over for crossing the double yellow line in the middle of the road here. People do it all the time because of the buggies, even in front of cops, they dont care.

The Sakem witch trails: When a group of young girls went around accusing people of using witchcraft on them. 13 people ened up dying as a result. Am i corredct that was a section in my old history book. Suprised you don't know of Sonoma. Has good wines. Half the population works on vineyards or wine processing plants. Its my home town to boot hence my name William of Sonoma. But Napa Valley area makes lots of wines and Jack London lived about 10 minutes from Sonoma. My mom is a ware house manager at one of the plants here.

Mount Hope, Ontario.

Santa Rosa was also the setting for the Hitchc*ck film "Shadow of a Doubt" - about a young girl who suspects her favorite uncle might actually be a serial killer .... oooh chills.

*I needed the asterisk because his name got censored lol
