Pretty self-explainatory. The town you live in must have some sort of weird structure, building placement, or something that either makes you laugh, cry, or just think about how stupid humanity is.
For example, in my home town of Baton Rouge, there is this reverend/pastor/whatever (and by pastor, I mean the ones that use the fact that they have tax-exempt status to buy private jets and yauchts) who has this church. Anyway, he was stuck on the interstate one day, and he looked over the field behind his church, and had a "revelation." In this field he was to build the three largest white crosses in the South. And he did. But that's not the worst part. Across the interstate is a Wal-Mart. That's right, from the Wal-Mart parking lot, it looks like there are three giant crosses sticking out of its roof.
So, we nicknamed it "Our Lady of Perpetually Falling Prices"

Gasp! Blessed are the Price Choppers! Anyway, my town doesn't have much by means of 'weird' buildings. We just have streets at fucked up angles, houses built in such ways that their yards are literally 60-90 grade slopes, mountains that have seriously been moved by the army engineers to 'fill in' strip mining pits... and one alleyway that's one-way... with the entrance being on both sides. That's right. Roach Motel alleyway.  |

Swiss-chese rusty iron fish "art" in front of the courthouse. I could have eatin 800 lbs of nails and crapped more artistic piece than that thing. And yet it set our local government back several thousand dollars for the privilage of displaying it.

I don't have weird things, per se ... just lots and lots of strip clubs. I live by literally a strip of strip clubs.

The weirdest thing in Aries's town?
That'd be Aries.
Seriously. Considering what 'normal' is around here...

Hm...my hometown is 60% Polish, 70% of which immigrated within the last 10-15 years. Because of this, we have more Bars in One Square Mile than you can shake a stick at!  |

I'm inclined to believe that your over exaggerating, if that was the case your towns population would probably decrease by around 95% in a 30-40 years.

We have like 3 red rectangular blocks on public grounds that the city paid $300,000 to have put there. It's supposed to be some kind of abstract art. We also have a bronze statue of some tejano sing called Selena.

The Weirdest thing in Atlanta?
Well if you come to town around the time of Dragon Con, you get to watch literally, *litearlly* hundreds of storm troopers marching down the streets in Metro. No, like 300-500 full stormtroopers in armor, marching in line with the Imperial march playing. They go all over town during the weekend of Dcon. And all the cops and "normies" can do is stare.......

You ought to make a Dak Helmet costume and make them all hold their crotch before your precence. My current town has nothing really worth noting that is wierd. Honestly. My birth-town of Milwaukee (and outer towns) is noticable of mentioning as a little known fact taht quite a bit of Milwaukee is of German Descent, a huge portion. There is even an honest Oktoberfest. Some people even wear Leiderhosen. |
