Probably worth pointing out to anyone who has never been to Manchester that it's not really like this at all. The Greater Manchester conurbation is home to over 2.5 million people and according to the article above there were four fatal shootings in 2005/06, so it's hardly the Wild West.

Winston Churchill referred to CINCINNATI as America's most beautiful inland city

Cincinnati was home of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.

In 1850, Cincinnati was the world's largest pork-packing center, earning it the nickname "Porkopolis".

More than half of Cincinnati's population is of German ancestry.

Jerry Springer used to be the mayor of Cincinnati.

Cincinnati is the sister city of Gifu, Japan

Welcome to Wales' newest city. A hub of growth and regeneration, Newport is fast becoming a nerve centre for business, leisure and investment. Being the host city for The 2010 Ryder Cup is a source of huge excitement and an opportunity that Newport is very ready to embrace.
Standing at the gateway to the whole of Wales, the city makes a great touring base. The beauty of the Wye Valley, Brecon Beacons and Forest of Dean - as well as Cardiff's urban excitement - are all temptingly close, but don't rush off just yet!
Newport and its surroundings have much to offer. The city centre is full of interesting places like the wonderful Victorian Provisions Market, while at The Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre you'll find numerous activities, performances and exhibitions, plus an excellent café bar and crèche. You'll also find performers out on the streets, open air classical concerts and a vibrant rock scene. TJ's is a famous and well loved nightspot that has hosted bands such as Catatonia, Feeder and Manic Street Preachers.
Historic attractions include Caerleon, one of the UK's most important Roman sites, and the glorious 17th Century Tredegar House, while the area's extraordinary industrial heritage is perfectly symbolised by the Transporter Bridge, a Grade 1 listed structure in full working order.
Firmly in the present is the hugely impressive Newport International Sports Village, which among many assets boasts the Wales National Velodrome and its 250 metre Siberian pine track. You'll also find a 25 metre 8-lane competition swimming pool.

What a pile of shit.

On the other hand, looking up Newport on www.chavtowns.co.uk looks more like real life here. Drugs, chavs, single mothers, call centres, cheap shops... Remind me again why I live here?

Worcester is the home of what is claimed to be the oldest newspaper in the world, Berrow's Worcester Journal, which traces its descent from a newsheet that started publication in 1690.

Worcester is blessed with unique attractions, culture and local food.

Worcester is situated on the River Severn, the longest river in Britain

Set in the heart of the rolling Worcestershire countryside, Worcester is one of the most beautiful cities in England.

Worcester is one of those places where the days just fly by.

Worcester is set in the Heart of England, just 40 minutes from Birmingham

Cheers Ned. I was wondering too. Shame there are so many Newports. Still it did give me this gem:

My God, if I feed my wife's name in Googlism, there's only one result. And it's wrong.

The attraction to Thorn1eigh comes from Thorn1eigh being on the train line, which allows resident's access to Sydney CBD, Hornsby, Pennant Hills and The Central Coast. It is also a quite, low crime suburb with a choice of shopping, a trading zone, a variety of churches and schools and is surrounded by the picturesque Berowra Valley Bushland.

not a description, but this is a solid gold website opener:

G’day, and welcome to Thorn1eigh Community Baptist Online, the online presence of our church community located in the northern suburbs of Sydney Australia.

Sorry, Google doesn't know enough about thorn1eigh yet.

I suspect it does, really.

According to our research of the Idaho and other state lists there were 4 registered sex offenders living in Firth in early 2007.
The ratio of number of residents in Firth to the number of sex offenders is 104 to 1.

Governor Comes to Eastern Idaho

The town of Firth was made the Idaho capital for a day. As part of the award, the town was given the chance to host the governor and speak to him about their concerns for themselves and eastern Idaho.

Two Fishermen Stranded On Island In Bingham County

Bingham County Dispatch tells Local News 8 that two fishermen are stranded on an island in the Snake River.

Bingham County Sheriff Dave Johnson says the call came in to 911 just before 8:30 Saturday night that five men were stranded on a sandbar two miles north of Porterville.

Bingham County Marine Patrol launched a john boat to rescue the men and it took three trips to get everyone to safety. Deputies say the men had built a bon-fire to stay warm while they were waiting.

Sheriff Johnson says the men got stuck because of the low water level.

The Bingham County Sheriff's Office will be releasing more information Monday. Local News 8 will bring you the latest beginning on Local News 8 at 5 p.m.

Ho ho ho.

Looks like all the big developments for Newport to tie in with the Ryder Cup are grinding to a halt because of the credit crunch. I hope they all tidy up before they leave.

Hamilton, perhaps the fastest growing city in Montana, is centrally located in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley along US Highway 93 and the Bitterroot River approximately 45 miles south of Missoula and 47 miles north of the Idaho border at Lost Trail Pass.

Hamilton offers the traveler just about all the necessities, if not the amenities, of a large metropolitan city plus easy access to millions of acres of heavily forested public lands and mountains that support almost any form of outdoor recreation that one can imagine.

I've been to Hamilton! I also think this is a brilliant phrase:

"just about all the necessities, if not the amenities, of a large metropolitan city"
