Vancouver, Washington 

A church inside a former Kmart.

That's the summation of this place based on an actual establishment. I get the sense the hoakey small town center like any old thyme town center has been abandoned to tiny gift shops while the suburbs were built up around it. Life there is a purgatory for grown up suburban kids where they drive from their apartment block to a gas station, to a office block, to Applebees, and back again. They watch Netflix and wait to die, keeling over from a broken heart 2 weeks after retirement realizing what I just said.
"You're 47 years old. It's finally time you get your own apartment."

"Ok mom, I'll move to Vancouver, Washington. Can I borrow the car?"

Vancouver, Washington 

A depressing place, not enough words to describe of how much of a cesspool and shit-hole is. Iv never lived in Tacoma, Washington or other depressing places like Vancouver, Washington.

Im sure there are more depressing places out there, but Vancouver from personal experience takes the cake. No jobs, an abundance of illiterate pieces of white trash, food stamp abusers, ignorant people who seem they have spent their whole life living in a cave. A bunch of wanksters and wiggers, spoonfed bitches who post pics on facebook, myspace, and other bullshit social networks drinking a can of beer proclaiming they are hood and hard.

King of meth addicts and copious amounts of drug abusers, bad weather, a surplus of rain almost 90 percent of the year or more, no entertainment. Downtown Vancouver is dead like a grave, just a bus stop and some drug junkies, pan handlers and some stupid cafes with the greyhound bus station.
Where can I find a place that has no hope or promise and I am 100 percent depressed? That is easy that is

Vancouver, Washington

vancouver 

That city where if you own a house already, you can sell it and buy two of the same in Toronto, or three in Calgary, or an entire street in Winnipeg.
My mouldy 1200 square foot bungalow in Vancouver costs one million dollars because it's got a yard. A yard with trees? That'll be a million-two.

An individual that possesses an exceptionally large penis of mythological proportions, despite portraying themselves as having an unassuming personality. While they may come off as shy and timid at first, a Vango realizes its true form upon reaching the sheets. Once there, the Vango proceeds to strike fear into the hearts of those that dare oppose it through a seemingly never ending erection of girth and mass. Beware!
Girl #1: "Hey bestie, I have to tell you something crazy about the quiet kid that sits in the back of Mrs. Smith's class"
Girl #2: "OMG he's so cute what is it!? I feel like he's definitely a really sweet guy once you get to know him."
Girl #1: "BETTER! He's packing 21 Inches!! We went .46 rounds and now I'm heading to the doctor to get fitted for my wheelchair. He's a real life Vango!!!"
Girl #2: I KNEW IT! Get well soon before you go again!! Once you go Vango, you never go back...
