US Cities (Favorites)

[DMC]

I spent last week in Kansas City. I'd been through there a few times in the past but never spent much time. It's a really nice city, at least the part I was in. The speedway is enormous. I'm surprised they haven't gotten an NBA team yet since there are several surrounding states that don't have one and it's a big sports town.

Anyone here have any experience with KC?

[Avante]

I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
they got some crazy
little women there
and I going to get me one

While Wilbert Harrison recorded the famous version, it was Little Willie Littlejohn who recorded the original as KC Loving.

Big Joe Turner (huge influense on Eric Burdon) and Wynonnie Harris the kings of Kansas City "Jump Blues". Then there was Lottie Beamon the Queen of KC blues.

Always think of North Texas States Abner Haynes, the first "star" in the old AFL, he was a speedy RB for the Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs.

Shut up faggot, no one asked for your retarded garage dweller schtick.

You can talk about a fictious NBA team but I can't talk about a song that made KC famous and a real sports team in KC? That make any sense to you little guy?

Because of injury he was unable to play his senior season at SoU. So he went undrafted and unnoticed. The Chiefs signed him on as a free agent. Then Mack "The Truck" Lee Hill begin to put on the greatest display of power running ever seen. He averaged over 5 yards a carry....between the tackles. It was as if somebody had said something bad about his mama he ran with anger. He was a monster.

In his second season he would bang up a knee, he died on the operating table.

A few seasons before Hill the Chiefs draft Olympic sprinter/WR 20.6 Stone Johnson a RB out of Grambling (Chiefs big on HBCU athletes) dur to an injury in a preseason game.....he dies.

A few years after Hil, the Chiefs draft NWLa sprinter/RB Joe Delaney (NCAA 4x1 champ) he would gain over a 1000 yards as a rookie. In the off season before his second season............he drowns trying to save some kids, he couldn't swim.

Remember the movie M*A*S*H.....remember the football game? That speedy little guy running around was Nolan "Super Gnat" Smith a former Tenneesse State sprinter who was a great kick returner for the Chiefs.

Can't forget Chief Ernie "Big Cat" Ladd who was actually bigger in the pro rasslin' biz than he was in pro fotball

Now dummy get angry when people make fun.

How does their BBQ compare with Central Texas or Memphis? Also how is the backpage talent there?

Ernie Ladd was really talented he could have the HoF if he stayed healthy. What are your thoughts on Len Dawson? Also top 10 chiefs running backs

[Thread]

He had the smoothest [play action pass] process I've ever seen.

[Avante]

Totally agree about Ladd, yep, a monster.

As ya know Dawson was cut by the Steelers (some NFL team) so he had as chip on his shoulder. He worked out of a moving pocket and was always surrounded by great players like Fred Arbansas the best TE in the AFL, he had the great Otis Taylor also and a huge OL.

Dawson was smart(Purdue) and knew how to read defenses, he had a good ball and rarely made the big mistake. He belongs in the HOF.(that's why he's there)

Top10 Chief RB' in my opinion.

1.Christian "Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye Azusa Pacific....a 250pounder running a leg on a 4x1, what a sight.
2.Priest Holmes Texas
3.Jamaal Charles Texas
4.Abner Haynes North Texas State
5.Mike Garrett USC
6.Larry Johnson Penn State
7.Mack "The Truck" Lee Hill
8.Tony Reed Colorado
9.Curtis McClinton Kansas State (first AFL player to score a TD vs an NFL team)
10.Ed Podolak Iowa

Memphis BBQ is pretty damn good, and it depends on where you get it I suppose. Pork BBQ doesn't really compare with beef, not worse or better just different. I want local food when I am travelling, so it doesn't really stack up to what I can get in Austin.

I don't understand "backpage" :lol

[BD24]

Kansas City is pretty cool. One of the few cities in the Midwest that isn't a crime ridden shit hole. Nashville is really nice to. Memphis has the best bbq I've ever had even though the city itself is shit.

Memphis is my old stomping ground though. I still like the Tigers, was a Keith Lee fan, Baskerville Holmes, Midsouth Wrestling with Lawler, Dundee, Jackie Fargo, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich, :lol Kabuke... Jimmy Hart

I love Nashville, I go there often.

[Robz4000]

Portland and Seattle are pretty cool if you can get past the homeless problem and hipster hordes.

[tlongII]

San Diego

this is probably my favorite too

[Robz4000]

San Diego

Like San Diego too

[DMC]

I have a standing offer to spend a week in Seattle and one in Portland but I haven't committed yet. I probably will though.

[DMC]

San Diego

That's Spanish for "whale vagina"

[resistanze]

Good buddy of mine relocated to Seattle a few years ago. Went there a couple of time in past few months. Don't think I'd go if he wasn't there tbh.

Just coming back from Chicago, I'll re-iterate that it's fucking awesome.

[spurraider21]

I've spent a lot of time in Chicago and I agree. I almost relocated there last year but couldn't stand the winters.

Went to KC and nearby cities like Lawrence. Really nice houses for cheap and there's decent entertainment. I live in SoCal tho so cheap for me might be average for texicans

I went into a Best Buy in Topeka and saw at least 6 old guys in denim overalls and greasy ball caps, staring at monitors and TVs like they just walked out of the 40's.. lol

Really? I just went this past fall and it still seemed pretty nice. Given I mostly stuck to downtown and then went to the touristy spots like Redrocks etc.

Have a buddy who lives there and hadn't heard him mention crime being to bad or anything. He doesn't make enough money to live in the nice part of town.

Fave Cities:

Sacramento- Spent two years worth of weekends traveling out of town and stayed in every town/city within 250 miles of shitty Modesto, from the Bay to Clear Lake. Easily my favorite in NorCal. Not super-superficial and uppity like the Bay area and even much more affordable than Modesto as far as gas and food. Love the zoo, the restaurants, the fishing is great and I really like going to Old Sacramento.

Monterrey- Gorgeous beaches, always a gorgeous climate and far enough away from Silicon Valley to amazing.

Phoenix is cool

Austin is cool

San Antonio was cool about 25 years ago.


Cities that SUCK:

Los Angeles- Gross, disgusting shithole of a city. Smog, smog, smog and smug, smug, smug. Why you'd pay a premium to live in a god damned polluted shit hole because other elitists do is beyond me.

San Francisco- aside from the food and climate, you couldn't find a shittier place more loaded with pretentiousness. FUCK San Francisco. Been there hundreds of times, great for short visits with people who haven't been there before, but nothing else noteworthy about this shit hole.

Blythe- If you've been there, you needn't an explanation.

Denver- Great climate, but bo-ring as fuck.

I agree with Los Angeles. Have some relatives that live there, so I have visited quite a few times. The beaches are nice, but drive down the road to San Diego and you get a much nicer city with better beaches as well and lower cost of living. Oh and did I mention more attractive women?

[IronMexican]

Miami

Nah, bruh. I mean Hong Kong in Tj

4? Lol, ask Ernesto ( LkrFan) the number is about 7

[BD24]

I would love to live in San Diego if money wasn't an object. I can't justify buying a million dollar house there that would only cost me around 300-400k in Texas

[Spurminator]

I love living in Dallas, but if I didn't I'd move to Seattle.

[The Gemini Method]

Denver used to be the shit. It's turning into just shit. Half the city is slums now it seems. Denver and Aurora were the last two places I've been to. I guess maybe because I'm from L.A./S.F., I thought Denver was great. The breweries were dope and the beer fest they held at Mile High was a great array of beer fun. I like the airport as well. I'd have to go with Seattle and Portland are both excellent trips and San Diego is fun for a weekend jaunt.

I could understand that. I'd quite frankly only settle back in Toronto if I was moving back east (parents getting older etc). If I'm going to suffer harsh ass winters I might as well have a decent reason.

I went to the Collaboration Festival in March, and will go again next year. One off beers you'll never see again, unlimited pours.
