The Interzone: a metaphorical stateless city not to be confused w/ the very real "International Zone" in Tangier, a city occupied after World War II by the French, English, Spanish, and Americans each with their own courts and administration, and an international refuge for criminals, artists, drug smugglers, and tax-evading tycoons.

In 2004, Charlottesville was ranked the best place to live in the United States in the book Cities Ranked and Rated by Bert Sperling and Peter Sander. Sperling and Sander ranked the cities based on cost of living, climate, and quality of life. Charlottesville is best known as the home of the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson. The city is also known for Jefferson's Monticello, his renowned mountain-top home which attracts tens of thousands of tourists every year.

Houston is the largest city in the state of Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States. As of the 2005 U.S. Census estimate, it had a population of more than 2 million. The city covers more than 600 square miles (1,600 km˛). Houston is the county seat of Harris County and part of the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area, the sixth-largest metropolitan area [3] in the U.S. with a population of more than 5.5 million.
Houston was founded on August 30, 1836 by brothers Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou. The city was incorporated on June 5, 1837 and named after General Sam Houston, commander at the Battle of San Jacinto. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in Houston's population. In the 20th century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center, the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions, and NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center.
Houston's economy has a broad industrial base in the energy, aeronautics, and technology industries and only New York City is home to more Fortune 500 headquarters. The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled.[4] Houston is also home to Rice University, one of the United States's leading teaching and research universities, and the University of Houston, Texas's third-largest public research university with more than 36,000 students from 130 countries.
Houston is a multicultural city with a large and growing international community. The Museum District is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits, attracting more than 7 million visitors a year. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene as one of five U.S. cities that offer year-round resident companies in all major performing arts.

Clapham - I live bang round the corner of a fairly large housing estate, so you can imagine the amount of pikeys that inhabit my 'hood. Oh fucking joy. Am also not too far from Stockwell. People sell drugs (literally) outside my front door, but they leave me alone. Apart from that, it's becoming increasingly gentrified and expensive. Some very good pubs and restaurants, though, and a nice park a stone's throw away.

My mini-city is the capital of porn. In the east, crime is so rampant, that I don't bother to go. In the west; that's where I live and the police come at least twice a day. Ah I feel safe.

Oklahoma (which means Red People in the language of the Choctaw) is also known as the "Sooner State" due to all the cheating bastards who left the starting line sooner than they were supposed to in the Land Run of 1889 .

Oklahoma "is OK".

I live in a relatively nice village:
 



Out of it is hellish. Litter and sofas dumped everywhere, fat malformed women in fleeces groping you, chav five-year-olds having drive-by shootings, obese emos, racist policemen, twelve-year-olds giving birth on the street and trying to control their offspring Chesney, Chaznay, Chardonnay, Bacardi, Alcopop and Topshop at the same time who have just gone round the corner to mug a heroin dealer for mummy's brown sugar.
