Everyone brags about Kansas City barbecue, and it's true, if you want fucking awesome barbecue it can be found all over KC and the surrounding areas. Even shitty looking hole in the wall restaurants sometimes serve up some killer stuff.

Texas. In general.
Also the oilfield.
And kids and their family money

McGill: that we go to a good-ass school, mostly to make ourselves feel better about how fucking stupid we feel here.
Montreal: generally the sheer variety of things to do here and the culture when compared to where a lot of us came from.

Beer, coffee, bicycle infrastructure, well educated young people, and lots of sexy liberal women that have a good nerdy style to them.

Pasties and mining, I suppose. Also the quiet, easy-going life compared to big cities.

The weather. No change of seasons here. Betting Christmas will be 70's during the day. Hope it will b chilly in evenings. Chilly wood be 65
With Buffalo so much in news - local weather is currently a major amount of discussion on my beach. We brag (I brag) about the beach
I don't brag about the local cuisine because its very limited for such a large city (that which is 15-20 mins from me) Options are very limited compared to San Francisco or Los Angeles
Latino food is around every corner - Japanese Chinese and Vietnames & Indian, are very much present do to imported H1B Visa talent in Electronics and Bio-med fields - Not a single Russian or much of any European anything near by.

In other words you're a bud kinda person or coors?
Craft beers is just ultra big out this way. New brews and places to serve them open up daily even twice a day - some of wot I have tasted - one needs a spoon to eat it.

It's true. That one time you came our town for the 10 myle swing dance and all-night surfing competition and won while also having written the new USB-c standard and HTML 2.0 while doing it, it amazed everyone. We still talk about it to this day.

@previous (O)
U must refer to one of my many clones. I have never once tried a surf competition. Not in2 USB or HTML standards - the other Syntax's perhaps.
Shocked to discover I may have actually swung yes swung danced with a relative of Indy's rite here in Calif.
