Two Facts About Your Neighborhood

[newaesthetic]

You forgot American Psycho you heathen.

I had to check this out; didn't realize IMDB could search for stuff like this. Anyways, I meant crap Hamilton, so technically I didn't. Now that you mention it though a lot more things look familar. Ham-town's had a fair amount of things, surprisingly.

Added bonus facts about my old neighbourhood, specifically:

1. My high school had the lowest literacy rate in the city the year I took the grade 10 test. I'm pretty sure the amount of pregnancies in our graduating class outnumbered the post-secondary acceptances by about 3 to 1.

2. An average of one major drug bust in the area, a year, from what I can remember. Once woke up at 3am to cops yelling to "put it down" to some guy trying to break in three doors down from us. Other than that though, my street specifically was pretty quiet.

- young portugese men are fond of shitty athletic wear, bulky sneakers, kangols and underage girls.

- old portugese men have refined these affinities and somehow learned to make them look cool and wise.

[rowyerboat]

[mojinho]

1. jewish

2. has a favela in it

[constant struggle]

1. The guy across the street from me must have 4-5 decks in his backyard (All different colors)

2. There used to be nothing but woods in my backyard, but now a few hundred feet back, there is another house

[denimdestroyedmylife]

grace kelly grew up in my neighborhood

adrian balboa's headstone is in our cemetery

[styleofmind]

1) There's a bar that takes me literally 20 seconds to drive to. Or a 5 minute walk.

2) There's a KFC right across it. 24 hours. Midnight munchies.

[_ironman]

these 2 are pretty much related, and i don't mean to be racist....but :

1) my neighbourhood is getting completely overrun by tamils. for every 1 i am cool with or is a good/nice person, there are 10 i don't like (the ones that are normal are mostly women).

2) back in high school (although probably still happening), the older tamil guys who have long been out of school would drive back and forth in front of our school (in their dad's cars or rental cars...tsk tsk fail) and try to pick up young girls. it is disgusting.

[andewhall]

1.My next door neighbour cut down all his trees, now I can see into the Marae a few houses back.....there is a big maori tiki carving staring at me whilst doing the dishes, can hear guys practising haka's and can see little kids doing taiaha training.

2. My other neighbours are a group of intellectually handicapped folk....they are really loud and throw ciggarette butts over the fence?

[hey]

yep... my house. there is a boutiquie in my neighborhood that sells nudies tho... and cheap monday.

That makes sense.

Also, if we're thinking of the same boutique, said boutique opened a location down here too, and I'm probably going to start working there soon, even though I don't like 99% of their mens stuff. They'll get in a cool corpus piece every now and again, but not a whole lot I'd wear.

- a kid drown in my pond about 20 years ago. neighbors liked to scare me and my siblings when we were younger and went out to fish in it.

You live on Parc Lafontaine?

Lucky, I stayed with a friend who lives right there when I was in MTL for new years, it's a beautiful area.

Yeah, I live right by the park and my balcony/windows are in that direction. It's great when you only have to cross the street to be in a park and are still well located when its time to drink, eat or go shopping.

[the_state]

Two fact about were I was raised in Potomac Md:

1. Mike Tyson and former wife Monica Turner lived less than two miles away.

2. I went to high school with Sugar Ray Leonards son Ray Jr. at Churchill.

2. Despite the above, the average home value in the neighborhood is over 300k, and I have a view of the Rocky Mountains and a swim and tennis club from my deck.

2. Everyone pretends they're ghetto.

I hate this place.

[isoform]

bums who live around the underpass and block drunks are all friends in the house two doors down. at least the crack house is a few blocks away. the newly moved-in yuppie and/or hipster white people are probably afraid of them.

there are/were so many mexicans and puerto ricans in my neighborhood that i thought as a kid that the logan square monument (a column w/ an eagle on top) was some kind of mexican thing when in fact it has something to do with the illinois bicentenial. :confused:

[persephone]

1)we were mentioned on a episode of south park when steve erwin needed to go somewhere that was 3 years back in time.

2)we have a french name dispite having no french people.
