My city has the most strip clubs per capita in the USA

What up, neighbor. Which of the 5 quadrants?

The area formerly known as felony flats

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Heh. "Formerly" is a creative way to put that, but I hear ya. "Out in the numbers" as it were. 🤘🏽 Stay hungry, fellow pleb.

My hometown was most notable for a husband and wife serial killer pair who preyed on young girls in the area. This one will be easy to guess.

Well you spelled it wrong but yes. Haha. St. Catharines.

Oops, I've read that name at least a dozen times and never realized. I follow Canadian news a lot (you guys have the best radio and music in the world). Terribly sad case, and it feels like justice wasn't served.

That evil witch got off so lightly. I attended one of the victim's funerals and it was so very hideous. Glad you like our artists!

In the city where I live there are two train stations, next to each other, and with different track gauges.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'd guess somewhere near the Spanish-French border, because I happen to know that Spain uses a different gauge to the rest of Europe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's in Spain. Because for some reason (probably a war?) in some regions we have the standard gauge as well as the "narrow" one.

Bilbao? Just guessing from looking at the map to be honest, ha.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Very close :)

Just to get an idea what I mean when I say the stations are close to each other

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Close to Bilbao too? So in Basque Country?

Buenos Aires?

Eastern Europe somewhere?

We had a tea party during the revolutionary war, no not that tea party.

My hometown was a well-known regional port and was the home of a "medical" serial killer (both in the early 20th century) who was responsible for over 15 deaths over 4 years.

Our first ever ruler from when we became an independent nation was known to carry pieces of roasted chicken in his suit pockets to sneak in snacks during the day.

He was a bit of

A character

History remembers him as a buffoon. History is wrong. He was a sly old fox and his bumbling antics were masking quite the sharp mind.

We've got one of the oldest, largest, and most used transit systems in the world.
