I wish my city had a major league sports team. I always wish we had that. We got plenty of minor league sports here, but who gets up for that? We have to share the Buffalo Bills with Buffalo, and the Syracuse Orangemen with Syracuse. We are located in between those cities.

A bookstore. We have damn near everything else but a bookstore (a B&N, a Borders, whatever). I have to go clear to the damn west side to shop a bookstore.

EVERYTHING! My town is a ******** hicksville town that has nothing intesting but a mall a few towns away, a pizza place, a park or two, and some restraunts. And that's in the newer part...we have a freaking general store (although I think its just a little supermarket, not a real general store) on the old (and I mean like..1700s old) side of town. When I grow up im moving to a beach town.

So yeah.

More lanes on the main roads(except for the Long Island Expressway, which only has enough room for an HOV lane past Exit 64), and a few other road improvements. We've got too many stores going up, and the existing roads can't handle that or the residential traffic.

Also, a return of the second track along the main line of the Long Island Railroad Bridge.

:liplick: It is. I'm always getting their french toast sticks because they're on the 99 cent menu. French Toast Sticks and a small Strawberry Slush (with real strawberries in it, not just strawberry flavoring) for 1.98 minus tax. :heart:

haha. Actually...I was supposed to go. But some loan stuff didn't work out three weeks before move in date (interest rates=too high=worried parents=no cosigners for loans). So I'm going to a JC and transferring there in two years.

We've moved here a little over a year ago, and this town doesn't have a decent Chinese restaurant in it, and we've tried them all.

Where we used to live, there was the best Chinese food just a 10 minute drive away.

Are you talking about Dayton, Ohio? If so....I totally have never heard of this, or of Stumpie's. I'll have to ask some friends about it!



As for what I would want in my town.....more nature. Er, I guess, different nature. Sure there's plenty of squirrels around here, and don't get me wrong, I like squirrels, but when I went to Florida, I loved seeing all the lizards everywhere. And they're everywhere! Just randomly on sidewalks, etc. Also, I saw more birds down there in 3 days than I see in 2 weeks around here.

Years ago there was a very seedy strip club called Stumpies on Third st. It featured a one legged stripper. But that place burnt down or closed down well over a decade ago. Rob used the word "famous" extremely loosely, it was more like the place where you would find all the deviants.
