    Toronto is the largest city in Canada with about 2.5 million in the city limits, over 4 million if you count the metropolitan area. 50% of Canada's millionaires live in Toronto, and it shows. Everything is very expensive here. I keep costs down by not owning a car and taking the subway to work. If I need a car I can rent one. It's a nice city although the air quality can get a little nasty during the summer. Very busy and everyone is in a hurry. Torontonians tend to live fast paced lives. The worst part about living here is that traffic is so bad, it takes a long time to get where you're going.

    I work in NYC, but live in Northern Jersey. The town isn't big enough to be called a town so we are still technically a village, but it's small, homey, safe and 15 minutes from NYC. I like my town. Life is a little slower here and we have a lot of parks. I can think of about 8 off-hand, plus a forest reservation that can be used for hiking, and illegal mountain biking. Quite a few famous people live here Lauryn Hill and the DJ from Naughty by Nature, Elizabeth Shue used to live here as well.
    end of line.

    I work in Boston which has a little under 1 million within the city. Lots of historical sites from the American revolution and the colonial era. Also, lots of Universities and colleges so there are a lot of exciting things to do here.

    I live in a town bordering Boston called Brookline. My home is actually 50 feet from the Boston border...and I take the subway(known as the "T" here) to work everyday. Very convenient. Nice place to live.

    I'm looking for work OUTSIDE of the city, for reasons which it would take way too long to type up here...

    Huntingdon was the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell and is also the town of residence of the former Prime Minister John Major. This weekend , a riot broke out on the major housing estate by vigilantes completely wrecking 2 houses of suspected drug dealers. I am sure I was living in South Central LA on Sunday Other than that it is a complete dump

    Tiffin, Ohio has a population of around 20,000. It is located approximately 50 miles South-Southeast of Toledo and is home to two small colleges, Heidelberg College and Tiffin University. We are split down the middle by the Sandusky River and have several very nice parks and views to see.

    The crime is low and the people are nice. There are more police per capita than any other city or town in Ohio.
    Sometimes the most difficult problems have the most obvious solutions - they just get overlooked.

    I'm from N.E. Philadelphia, PA U.S.A. but I'm always going all over the city.

    It kinda sucks here... especially in the past 4 years my neigborhood has gone really downhill

    on the plus side there's alot of stuff to do entertainment wise.

    oh hey Cobra there's a "Hooters" on Delaware Ave. near Penn's landing if you ever in the area come on down.
