Inspired by a thread on NeoGaf where people post awesome pictures of the citys they live in, since someone brought the pick-up's thread to PA I thought this might be a nice way to feel jelous of the people living in Postcards. If you would partake I would be beholden to you!
Anyway, I will start off, Manchester, I choose you!
I love how the Beetham Tower makes it look like City 17
and one of the views from the cocktail bar on the 23rd floor of that Monolith
PA'ers, show me your Citys (and towns, hamlets, villages...)

i live somewhere to the left of this picture
here is this cool fountain
this is a bridge (the arthur ravenel bridge) that everyone ever takes a picture of when they drive over it
90% of people I know have taken a picture like this...even myself. its me. i am the tourists.
there is also this farmer's market i go to every saturday for awesome crepes and veggies
this is the worst thing about charleston because i hate horses so very very much. also they make the city smell awesome
the enemy.
The reality of modern-day Gosport is much less interesting:
But we do get to look at Portsmouth from our harbour, so we see this:
Now I live in Cambridge, so I get to see shit like this on a regular basis:
And as a result of searching for the Corpus Clock, I found an apparent conspiracy theory about it:
This is the building I do my day time posting from.
They also had the wedding in Kings College cathedral (I think, the massive pretty one) it was stunning.
How many floors is that....?
Also, what is the deal with that clock? It was always surrounded by a huge swarm of tourists (much like everything else in Cambridge)
They built it about 5 years back iirc, it's on Deansgate near the station, Hilton Hotel till the 23rd, a bar and then apartments that are massivley overpriced. The architect has the top 2 as his penthouse with an Olive tree in there that you can see from the street...
This is the neighboring town where I live these days:
52. Im not that high up though. My office is in the shadow of the Federal Building in that picture.
They're building WTC 1 next door. That'll be even taller O.o
can I still claim NYC as my town?
The state park 1000 feet from there gets a half million visitors a year, but Winder sees none of their money because there's nothing to do here. One of the state's most popular MTB trails is in there and we don't even have a bicycle shop.
If one wanted to do a study on poor city planning, this is it.
Some self taken shots:
The Clyde.
The science center, opposite end.

He only hit about 1/10th of the Starbucks.
My hometown is Hamilton, NY - home of Colgate University, 5 pizza places, and one horse.
But we'd appreciate it if you just forgot you heard that.
Hah, I associate the name of that town with Uncle Junior trying to call information to get a number there.
"Please state the city."
"Cocksucker- BELLEVILLE!"
A shot of one of the big landmark mountains around.
Near where I grew up, some office buildings. Most of them built in the last 10 or 15 years.
One of the more interesting artpieces, the headquarters of Dutch National Rail has a UFO on it's roof:
Of course, we have canals (Though our inner city is much smaller then Amsterdam)
Having been a college town for centuries, and currently the highest educated city in the country, our University has been relocating out of the city centre for decades to it's own campus de Uithof. It's a haven for architects:
The last one is where Nobel laureate physicist Gerard 't Hooft teaches physics (I've had the pleasure of getting a few lectures from him)
lit up with the colors of my school for commencement
aw ye
So I'll do my hometown. Skaneateles, NY - home of Skaneateles Lake. My favorite place in the world in the summer.
the village, from above:
The pier (first one during the antique boat show):
In the village:
Out on the lake:
Where I live:
The elevator mentioned in my Location:
Where I'm from:
Not actually from that motel, but it's the most recognizable landmark in the town.
The high school I went to:
EDIT: It might help if I said where I live. Barrington, NH, although I'm actually a lot closer to Strafford than the part of Barrington most people consider to be Barrington. I actually went to Strafford school.
We have a skyline of sorts across the river in Rosslyn, Virginia:
Rigorous Scholarship
We have a castle!
And a river!
And a giant spike!
On the plus side, it isn't too hard to find a bitchin spot for 4th of July fireworks, amirite?
North Charleston, on the other hand, is a suburbian hell having most of the typical urban problems without the benefits. At least the rent is good.
Bruce Wayne didn't want anyone to have a bigger tower?
I imagine they just greased the right palms to get that thing up. Bribing officials for building permits is pretty much the norm these days in that town. With some of the condos they have going up as well it might just be they got rid of that ordinance.
It was made by an old member of Corpus Christi, John C. Taylor - it turned up in 2008, so unlike most stuff in Cambridge it's a pretty new attraction. It's only exactly accurate every five minutes, and it does weird mechanical stuff from time to time, so you get a bunch of people waiting around it hoping that it'll do stuff.
Coupled with the fact that it's on a really narrow strip of pavement, and it's an accident waiting to happen. Plus it's apparently really loud when you're in the Parker Library trying to study.
My secretary, who is about 65 and grew up in Northern Virginia, tells me what it was like back when DC was basically a small southern city. They used to pile in the car about half an hour before the fireworks started and they could easily find parking on the Mall a few blocks from the launch area. They'd be back home half an hour after the fireworks ended, with no real traffic issues. Different time, I guess.
Rigorous Scholarship
We have a casino
the canadian museum of civilisation
the Gatineau Park
and lots of federal buildings like those
Because it seriously looks like an online board game of some sort.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Wikipedia writes:
we really live so close to each other. I always forget. closer than any other of the jersey crowd.
I now live here.
Right down the road from this.
Well, the last part. He starts in south Philly, then runs through west Philly, and then out through old city near the river (he literally runs like 30 miles in this montage, those kids followed him almost 30 blocks). Then he comes back to the Art Museum, which is where near where I actually live.

I've probably driven through your neighborhood on occasion without even knowing it.
