Obvioulsy this isn't true for all of America but DC does have a building restriction. You either can't build higher than the Washington Monument or the Capital Building. I can't remember which it is, but it doesn't quite matter since they are about the same size.

Similar to ours in Washington, except ours is totally more awesome.


Another shot of my town:


Our old capitol:

*Ahem.*



Montpelier's is totally the most awesome capital building.

My home "town" is a village called Kilcreggan on the west coast of scotland. I go to uni and live in the City of Glasgow though so that's what this post is about.

I spend a lot of my time in the west end because that's where my uni is.
This is the main campus area of my Uni.

Although it does stretch beyond that picture.

This is my favourite bit of the uni and the waiting area prior to my exams.

That tree is fucking massive.

This is ashton lane which has a few nice pubs and restaurants. It's expensive though.


This is kelvingrove museum in kelvingrove park.

Unfortunately at night it looks like it is owned by Disney.

Moving towards the centre of town.

This is the mitchell library. It's a most excellent place.


This is George Square, it looks nice but is mostly covered in pigeon shit.


And this is Glasgow Cathedral. I'm not catholic, but it is gorgeous.


Basically Glasgow is the best city.

Well, hometown is an entirely different question from "place of current residence."

I was born and raised in Indianapolis, home of the Colts, Pacers, and the World's Largest Redneck Festival (aka the Indy 500). After college, I left for Kansas City, Missouri, whose sole redemeeing quality was the just amazing BBQ. After that, I ended up in Chicago, which is like New York, except cleaner, safer, and with more corruption. The local sports fans are about even. At the moment, I've got a nice little apartment in a high rise about two blocks from the Lake (Michigan, that is), and I'm close enough to Wrigley Field to make it a decent, but not inconvenient, walk.

Seems like there are an awful lot of Chicago people here. Would anyone be up for meeting for drinks or something?
