When people move somewhere or they really want to rep where they're from, they start spouting these obscure facts and rankings which I find really endearing. Maine has more shoreline than the entire state of California! Rochester is one of the top cities in breweries per capita! Right on man, sounds cool!
when someone mentions a city, my friends and i start listing nicknames for that city, then nicknames for other cities. eg: "ah yes, new york. the big apple. the city that never sleeps. the windy city. stumptown. the city of brotherly love. the big easy." group participation bit, never gets old
some people go their whole lives without experiencing something they want to do or allowing themselves to try something. the rules are made up. you are not too old for anything
