Istanbul is one of the top places where I want to visit.

Coincidentally, just this morning I was looking up the lyrics to the song used in the intro to Weeds.

I live in a town called Knutsford (silent K) which is in Cheshire (the north-west of England).
Wikipedia provides this photo of bottom street:
Bottom street was until recently one of only two streets in the town with shops on it, but there was mild excitement recently when a street was built connecting top street and bottom street. We call it middle street. I don't actually know the names of these streets, and I'm not sure anyone around here does.
About the only thing of interest in the town is Tatton Park which is 1000 acres and includes sights such as these:
Apparently Bananarama played there recently, but I wasn't paying much attention. It also hosts a flower show that has just been and a few other events.
Oh, and apparently we're the only place in the world that writes shit in the street in sand. We do this to celebrate May Day, when we have a rather small and increasingly disappointing parade and a fair comes to town.
Overall it's a pretty great place to raise children, I think. But it's not much fun being a teenager here. I have 1 good friend who lives in the town, and 2 others that I see fairly often, but if I want to see any of my other friends, or really do anything at all, I have to get a train to Altrincham (and there's not much to do there, either) or get a 45 minute train to Manchester.
Wikipedia claims this is the most expensive place to live in the North, and I'm really not suprised. There are some obscenely wealthy people around here.
Apparently Bobby Charlton lived here, and so did Mel C, Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and a bunch of other people I've not heard of but am assured are famous.

That's the most famous one that's in downtown called The Walls Unit, all sorts of folks have stayed there, like Dog the Bounty Hunter.
And go to the University of North Texas:
And live in Bruce Hall, which is well known for things like ghosts and the Haunted Houses and interesting people:
That's the lobby where lots of kids bring out video games and waste away their GPAs.
But right now I live in Denton Texas:
