Default Are there any posters here from some exotic land far away?

I'm not talking the US or Canada. While maybe weird, Canada is not what I'd call an exotic country.

I grew up in a tiny town called Ligonier. An idyllic little hamlet in Pennsylvania best known for Arnold Palmer and Roling Rock beer. Wonderful trout streams.

I grew up in the "Village of Ridgefield Park"........NJ

Hey,it's a village

Was a really nice place to live and grow up....from what I hear now....not so much.

Two things that were awesome as hell growing up...

They have an awesome 4th of July Parade and crazy fireworks that night

I grew up in Devon PA. Devon is known for two things:

1. The Devon Horse Show.
2. For decades having the "n" blocked out or erased from every highway sign, so that it read "Devo" in devotion to the punk band of that name.

I haven't been to the Horse Show in more than 40 years, but it was pretty cool back then.

I grew up in a small town named Parkville, a little suburban Mayberry just outside of Baltimore.

It was very Parklike back then...before the din-doos migrated and ruined the place.

I went to the same high school as Michael Phelps, about 30 years apart.

They used to brew it in Latrobe (pronounced Lay-Trobe by locals), but they used to get the water for it in Ligonier from the mountain streams. Those ads where they talked about the glass-lined tanker trucks? That was for the water.


Rolling Rock was sold however, so I have no idea where they are actually brewing it now.

I think it’s fallen into the hands of the trannie lovers.

Towson was where the rich folks lived back then. We used to go to parties and bars there to pick up the rich college chicks.

I had a summer girlfriend from there and her preppy uppity parents did not appreciate my long hair, crass demeanor and Chevy van with a bed and refrigerator.

Correct. Short of Inbev selling A-B back to Americans and A-B repudiating it's woke, pro-deviancy agenda, the next best thing would be for Inbev to spin off Rolling Rock and sell it as a stand alone company, to American buyers.

We should be trying to take back our history, rather than just keep allowing it to be burned down to the ground.

I was born in Southampton, UK, not LI.
Lived there for four years, was very popular, 189th in line for the throne-they need more public toilets.
Only been back one, true shithole, leaving was a great decision on my part.

Oh, I have been to downtown Miami a few dozen times,,,

Everyone except Michiganders are by my estimation. Seeing out of state plates is a very rare occurrence. Something about living on a peninsula I suppose.

You're lucky, where I live there are plenty of Ontario and Ohio plates, and they're quite often traffic blocking slowpokes.

Speaking of peninsula's, the UP is about as close to living in some foreign land as you can get.
