Wow, lots-o-Canadians here. I've noticed different people mentioning things about Canada, but I guess I've never really added up how many of the RB'ers were from our Northern Neighbor. I've never been there, was supposed to go to Vancouver once while on temporary duty at Ft. Lewis, WA, but got sick and missed the trip.
Anyway, I live in Peoria, Illinois, a medium-sized city (110,000 or so) about 3 hours SW of Chicago. Had a major tornado swing by and FLATTEN a factory yesterday in Roanoke, just out of town. 4 buildings turned to rubble, but all 150 employees were safe. Tornados are pretty finicky, but awesome in power. Steel I-Beams tossed like legos, cars scattered in all directions, but other things left in place. Found one car in the parking lot, intact, except the engine block was cleanly taken out. :o Here's a link to the story:

This is one of those threads where everybody posts and nobody really reads, but just in case anybody cares, I'm just outside New York City, in Hoboken on the New Jersey side of the river. And my office is in Manhattan, right across the street from the World Trade Center site.

Hi,
Manhattan
The man with a hat got a tan 
That's how I learned to spell that island, way back when. In St. Stevens on 28th just west of 3rd Ave. -- back when there was still a 3rd Ave. L. And my dad used to park his '52 Dodge in Hoboken.
Some of us *do* read these threads -- but we'll never admit it.

I'm at Penn State's University Park---specifaally State College, PA. What's worse, I've been through the Engineering buildings Bolty has... not that they're avoidable.

Paris, the City of Lights, I bet you've heard of it ? :P Well, I live in the close suburbs, but you don't care. And I've never eaten frog legs nor snails. However I usually end up in a McDonald's. :chef:

Houston Tx--IE the great swamp settled for it's sea access. Lots of rain, fair amount of bad driving, huge population and poor mass transit. Good museums and excellent fine arts (ballet, symphony, theatre) plus some nightlife. If you visit don't stay outside the I-610 loop or you will never find anything. Oh and fly continental--this is their home hub so they're almost always cheaper inbound to Houston.
