It amazes me of all the silly descriptions of a small town by ignorant people on here. No, I dont live in one, but I did for a while. They are not all the same. Yes, some are poor, but some are also very affluent (Lake Zurich, Illinois for example).
A small town is the anithesis of a big city, which is not necessarily a bad thing. A small town is a community where people are a generally friendly, laid back folk, and where everybody knows almost everybody there. If you stop and ask for directions, the person giving you the directions will probably turn it into a conversation. The community is probably a speed trap, but the police who give you a speeding ticket are often known and called by their first name. You are usually not afraid to unlock your doors (although I wouldn't do it). Most businesses in town are family-owned ma-and-pa stores threatened by the Walmart nearby, which is probably the community's largest employer. The Mayor probably has another job on the side. You also know your'e in a small town because the people raise a stink over a new business coming in, fearing that it will create "traffic congestion." Some small towns can be suburbs or exurbs of a large meropolitan area.

Only in America do have a Federal holiday to remember what we are thankful for, immediately followed by the largest shopping day of the year to max out our credit cards for the next holiday, Christmas.

The land of electile dysfunction, where the people are so stupid they dont even know how to vote, let alone punch a small hole through a ballot card.

The Sunshine State, known for its boobs, bods and beaches. Panama City, south Beach in Miami, Daytona Beach and Cocoa Beach are its best known beaches. The most populated state in the southeast and 4th overall in the U.S. with about 17 million residents and growing exponentially. Tallahassee is the capital, while Jacksonville is the largest city, Tampa is the largest single metro area but Miami-Dade is the largest urban agglomeration. It's very diverse: Cubans are the largest minority and found in far southern Florida. You can see a bunch of them migrating to its shores in inner tubes. Also penty of homos, freeks, sluts, rich old farts, poor old farts, pedophiles, druggies and panhandlers. The grumpy old people from the Northern states, called snowbirds do nothing but play golf and drive recklessly. Florida is a haven for drugs, crime and violence, due to its rapid population growth. Miami is probably the drug capital of America. What a place. FL is a political swing state. It has been a laughingstock since the 2000 Presidential election when it underwent 3 recounts in a few select counties, giving the election to W. The people are so stupid they can’t even punch a tiny hole in a voting card. Florida’s housing boom has become a bust. Investors recently built numerous highrise condos in Miami that have yet to be sold as the market continues to fall. The irony is that Florida’s 17 million morons rebuild their homes year after year each time a hurricane hits. Talk about stupidity. They can't vote, cant drive and have to always rebuild their homes after a hurricane. Get a clue, people! It’s a nice place to visit but dam if you want to live there. Its largest tourists attractions are Walt Disney Word-Magic Kingdom, Bush Gardens and Gator World.
Florida is overcrowded and sucks. You 17 million morons can have it. Learn how vote and drive, people!

Something that isnt what it used to be. Customer service workers get paid to lower themselves and kiss ass to ungrateful, stupid pricks known as the "public." Customer service workers only have their positions while obtaining a college degree, so they can get out of customer service hell and kiss ungratefull customers goodby for a real job that offers a future and more financial security.
Customer service workers get a bad rap from the ignorant public. They like their position no more than the patrons who look down on them. I used to be in customer service (the food/restaurant industry), and would spit in the food of idiots who would piss me off and look down on me for providing a service for their pathetic, ungrateful ass. When working in customer service, you immediately see how stupid people have become today.

The state capital and largest city of Ohio. A small-to-medium sized city and 16th largest in the U.S., with about 700,000 in the city and another million in the metro area. It will NEVER have the profile of New York, Phily, Boston, San Fran, Chicago or L.A. but is more comparible to its peer cities of Indianapolis, Louisville or Kansas City. It's a nice college town with plenty of bars, but keeps a very low profile. It is known for nothing except for Ohio State University football. OSU is the single-largest university in the country by student body. Columbus is a progressive metropolis however with a generally young, educated population, where jobs in high-tech industries are growing rapidly. All in all, Columbus is a nice city to live in with several hip neighborhoods.

The capital and largest city of Ohio and for some reason, is the 16th largest in the U.S. It is a nice place to live but this college town suffers form a low profile and hardly any identity (at least Cleveland has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). Its known for absolutely nothing, except the Buckeyes of Ohio State University, one of the largest universities in the United States.
What the heck is in Columbus?
