1) there is a giant (bronze?) statue of a giraffe visible from one of the many interstates.
2)I've been to Half-Price Books in (at least) 5 cities in 4 states, and the main store here is the largest I've ever seen. We're talking Wal-Mart big, or maybe Best Buy big, but way bigger than your avg Buns and Noodle. Needless to say, I am in heaven.
3) I've now experienced "dry by voting precinct" booze rules, which means that voters can remove alcohol sales to at least 10 blocks away, thus fixing ALL the problems associated with alcohol {/sarcasm}. Restuarants can get an exemption if they're "private clubs", which you "join" for free by filling out a card on the table when you order a beer.
4) According to an apartment finding service quoted by JS, "But people here like gates!" (in the sense of "gated community", not "Bill")
If you'd like to guess where I am, there's a poll below. Please note that you are NOT eligible to vote seriously if I've already told you where I am. Those people are welcome to contribute guesses such as "in my pants" or "in Hell" rather than the names of actual cities in America.
So where am I, anyway?
