I live in Saskatoon, the city with the highest violent crime rate in Canada, as well as the second highest murder rate. You don't go to the West side.

Aside from that, I think it's a very nice place. There's lots of arts festivals going on throughout the year, and Folk Fest is a great time. The city itself is actually quite beautiful in many places, and it is in that tweener size where it has most of the amenities of a big city but it won't take two hours to drive from one side to the other. I like it.

And one kickass local music scene, if I do say so myself.

For instance, RBTS WIN is playing at Foursevenfour Haywood with Social Espionage next Saturday. Y'all assholes in the area should go check it out!

Toronto can suck my non existent dick. (Well, it's the setting in Scott Pilgrim, so I guess that makes it okay.)

We have lovely things like garbage strikes that last for weeks, G20 summits, bedbug infestations and really ugly architecture. World class city indeed.

I live in Washington, DC.

I guarantee you that my city is filled to the brim with more assholes than yours. After all, here we have the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and every federal agency you could possibly imagine.

On the bright side, we have some bitchin' museums.

Followed the link, saw the picture of the art museum on the bottom, and it looked so familiar I had to do some research. Turns out the guy responsible for that also designed the new Denver Art Museum building



I can feel your pain, though to be fair, it's not like the old building was much better.



Man, I miss Neoclassicism. At least that shit's coherent and might still look good 50 some years from now. This stuff's the equivalent of a twenty-something party girl getting a tramp stamp without realizing how bad it's going to look when she's a grandmother of three.

That reminds me, Cedar Rapids has the Tree of Five Seasons, which I swear to God looks like a steel toilet brush.





Incidentally, that there is Playtime Poppy, the happy little ear of corn.

Also: some amazingly awful commuter traffic.

It was pretty spectacular riding in the tour bus lane and passing like five miles of completely jammed freeway.

This is my city; and it's fine. It's where I spend the vast majority of my time. It's not perfect; but it's mine.

Five seasons?? But... but that's like.... one more season than really exists! One more is INFINITY times bigger than zero more...
THE WORLD WILL END!
