Harvard on the hill 

A nickname given to many community colleges in order to give students the sense that they are attending an institution comparable to Harvard in quality.

Many people believe that their college is uniquely nicknamed "Harvard on the hill", when in fact it is common of many community colleges.

murray hill

Neighborhood in mid-town NYC, on the east-side in the 30s near the Emprie State Bldg. Named for a hill that used to stand on the Murray's farm, way back when the northern boundary of NYC was Wall Street. The hill has long-since been bulldozed and cemented over.
"Dahling, walking with you is soooo grand in Murray Hill."

silent hill 

A popular series of video-games developed by Konami. Considered to be extremely scary and psychologically disturbing. Each installment of the series goes for a different psychologically horrifying aspect.

Silent Hill 4: The Room is going to explore the theme of one's room. Conventionally thought of as a safe place, a sanctuary, but in Silent Hill 4 the lead character is trapped in his room by chains and bolts on the door and windows.
I personally don't find Silent Hill to be all that scary. I think it's very more fun and interesting, though it does have its scary moments.

Liberty Hill 

A Texas town where you can find your thrills; especially if you like football. Not too far outside of Austin, Texas, you can find the Friday Night Lights burning above a purple sea of Panther faithful.
Football fan #1 (singing): I found my thrills! At Liberty Hill!

Football fan #2: Yes sir! Wow, those Panthers really had their way with those biaches!
