Nutmegger's definitions

Stamford, CT

Stamford is overrated. Yeah, low crime and all, but there's no affordable housing for sale, traffic is horrendous, Metro-North fees keep going up, public school kids are stupid, downtown is a concrete jungle... I do love the beaches - you can sit down on the sand, close your eyes and listen to the Hondurans playing their Spanish music. Almost feels like you're in the Caribbean. Then take a swim, read a book and start the journey home, still smelling the salt air as you cruise down Shippan Avenue. Man, you was wrong. Stamford's the shit! You've got the mall, the library, the new Target and low crime! And diversity! And the library has a Starbucks. I'm sold.

Q: "So, where are you from?"
A: "I'm from Stamford."
Q: "So what's it like living in California?"
A: "No you fucknut. I said Stamford, not University of Beijing at Palo Alto."
Q: "I don't get it."

Wichita

A medium-sized "city" in "Kansas". There's not much to say about it.

I'm going to Wichita. Far from this opera forevermore.

Westchester

1. County directly north of the Bronx, New York. A very diverse place, it contains poor rundown areas like Mount Vernon, Yonkers and Port Chester and wealthy areas like Scarsdale and Chappaqua (home to Bill and Hillary). New Rochelle has both poor and rich neighborhoods and Port Chester is actually on the rebound, with its Costco downtown. With three Metro-North railroad lines running through the county as well as several parkways, many people in Westchester commute to NYC. Of course, Westchester is home to the HQ of many important companies like Kraft, Pepsi, IBM, Mastercard and ITT.
2. Neighborhood of Los Angeles near the Los Angeles Int'l Airport.
3. western suburb of Chicago
4. western suburb of Miami
5. West Chester -- town west of Philadelphia - not to be confused with Chester, PA, the most rundown city in the USA.

There are many Westchesters but there's only one Chicago.

el

The Chicago elevated rail system and the biggest piece of junk in the world. Trains are slow, stops are located two blocks apart, trains stop in the middle of the track for no apparent reason and stay there for 5 minutes, stations are old, dirty and disgunting, the fare keeps going up, every once in a while trains crash. There are about 5 stops on different lines with the name "Western" and this could lead to confusion. The stop called "Central" is nowhere near Chicago's downtown. Many of the stations are elevated and don't have stair or escalator access, causing you to have to walk a shitload of steps. Luckily, the crappiness of the system means trains are rarely, if ever, overcrowded.

Tear down that piece of shit and bury it underground, where I at least don't have to look it at it on my way to work.

springfield

1. Name of many cities. The largest and most well-known Springfield is in Massachusetts. It's home to the Basketball Hall of Fame. Springfield, IL is also well-known by elementary school students as a state capital, but otherwise, it's a backwater. Springfield, MO is even more of a backwater but it's home to SW Missouri State Univ (SMS). There are also smaller Springfields in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Oregon and Ohio. None of these are worth discussing.
2. The fictional town where TV's The Simpsons live. It's not supposed to be in any state; rather, it's Springfield, USA. Identifying it with any real city would be a real embarassment because this Springfield is home to a fake barf factory.

We drove through Springfield on our way to Springfield.

moscow

Capital of Moscow, Europe's largest city. Moscow is the richest city in Russia, but it's still somewhat poor. Moscow sprawls over 1000 square kilometers. Moscow is prone to disaster, such as with the recent subway bombing, university dorm fire, and water park roof collapse. Muscovites live in drab ugly prefabricated apartment complexes.

Moscow is the Third Rome and there will never be a fourth one.

The TV show Hack takes place in Philadelphia.
