Come on Camden NJ is a very nice city, where else will the fuckers break into a church and steal the jewlery off of you dead grandmother while she lays in her casket.
Okay so I went to an after-party last night and it looked like a David Lynch room and there were people almost doing it on the couches and there were go-go dancer-like chicks in bikinis dancing on the speakers and these hot chicks in red dresses paid to hang out there.
EDIT: Also, why haven't you guys sent me any money?
Well it's automatically better than Camden, NJ, which is a place where 80% of the area is instant death to white people after dark.
I have an interview at Cooper Medical Center on March 14th. I've only ever been to Camden once before to see a Black Crows Concert. If I get accepted I'd be there for two years, should I be rethinking this?

Just look very carefully at where you have to go to get there. Going into Camden is really not something you should do if you don't have a reason.
EDIT: There are safe areas, just don't go anywhere you don't have to.
Is that a nice part of London or is it more of a tourist-robbin' kind of place?
Theyre all tourist robbin.
Its about average.
I used to live not too far away from Camden in Hackney. It's sort of like the Holy Grail to Japanese tourists on a Sunday, it's the oddest thing. Student metal fans congregating to buy badly made shirts for more than they're worth and there are all these tourists, taking pictures of them doing so >.>
I have no idea what tourists would do in places like Elephant & Castle but the prices there can still be considered tourist robbin' it's the same all over. But there is a cafe near Green Street Station (in White Horse way) that does the best Bacon&Egg rolls, and at a fucking reasonable price too. A geographical oddity so to speak.

One of the reasons I enjoy my city is the minimal amount of tourist traffic we get.
Baltimore acts as a bit of a staging ground for weekenders. We have the awesome National Aquarium, two really great children's museums, really great free museums (Baltimore Museum of Art on the campus of Johns Hopkins and the Walters Art Gallery) The Visionary arts Museum. In the summer you have Camden Yards et al - but it can all be done in a day or two. Then they catch a train to DC or Philly.
I'm going to New York on March 14th for four days. I have never been there. What is something cheap and cool to do?
Walk down the Avenue of Americas (6th) walk around, talk, eat a street vendor hotdog. Avoid the names cafes and such and find the holes-in-the-wall.
Decent Italian in SoHo.
Try to stay out of people's way, don't look like a wide-eyed tourist, yes the buildings ARE that big. Liberty Island is cool.
i want to go to Times Square, but my girlfriend has been twice and says its not all that.
fuck that, I'm going to Times Square.
also, I think I might try and go to DC and Marvel comics and just look at their lobby.
Times Square is nice, but it really is ONLY an intersection. It's been co-opted by big corporations now. TGIF, ESPN, Toys 'R' US, etc. But still a landmark all the same.
I got to say the statue of liberty is pretty dissapointed. Seriously that whole X-men fight could not have happened in there.
I still love walking through Times Square it is like being inside a nexus of colored light
Oh and I got to meet Colbert last night. Some nice Americans from Kenn. gave me their extra ticket and I got to sit up front and god damn, dudes, going to see him is like a fucking Rock Concert. He plays metal between the segments and gets pumped up behind his desk and makes faces at us and he DONE TOUCHED MY KNEE and had a whole little conversation with me about Gygax dying and what his favorite D&D character was.
ALSO I AM IN HARLEM RIGHT NOW JUST HAD SOME REAL SOUL FOOD AND NOT RAPED YET
My mother was gripped with awe and fear once as she trekked through the Alaskan wilderness and witnessed a polar bear climbing a cliff face. So we knew they could climb trees, but apparently they can also climb straight up rock faces. There is no escape.
So fuck buildings, I think that the first time you realize that bears that scale cliffs is way more impressive.

It is pitch dark. You are likely to be mugged by a grue.

I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
Oh wow, and I thought I was pretty much the only forumer here who lived in Winnipeg.

I get my corner to myself for the most part.

I second this.
I loved living in Minnesota, everything except for the cold and the snow that is.
is not a cool city.

Notice you never get people awestuck by endless flat-land and undeveloped wilderness.
Probably because many tall buildings are designed to be striking
plus, examples of human prowess and all that
I guess I'm just not impressed by much of anything.
I'm like a New Yorker of the world.
Grand Canyon? Seen it.
Empire State? Seen it.
Hard Gay? Seen it.
And yet for some reason I cry like a bitch at basically every movie.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gets me misty-eyed.
