City wikis

[TechnoHippyChic]

I was looking for something to read earlier, and realized I had never read my hometown's wiki page. It was mostly stuff I knew, but some I didn't, and just seeing it all laid out logically and thoroughly made me appreciate what a vibrant and interesting place I live in, although of course it has its problems:

Houston


Post and discuss your megalopolis/city/town/hamlet/lean-to.

Umm Al Quwain, United Arab Emirates is where I reside. Very suburban, if not rural, an area. Get's lonely.
Donetsk, Ukraine is where I'm from.

@mindless_moder - Atleast you have Playdium, I went there for my 7, 8 and 10 birthday. So much fun.

 

[Adabiviak]

There's less than 2000 heads in the town where I live, so no wiki (and every statistics page about the town is really outdated). We were the host of a wayward Smew, which landed in our pond and attracted a lot of attention. Otherwise this area (not this town per se) is where a number of movies and commercials are filmed (Back to the Future III, Bad Girls, something with Madeline Stowe, etc).

Pretty sure Glaxo (or atleast the factory) was where they made the prop swords for the orcs in Lord of the Rings, too. At one stage they were even gonna convert the place into a paintball arena, which would have been AWESOME, but of course it never happened.
