Does your town get picked on?
I live in one of the cities that gets mentioned in comedy a lot.
Sheboygan, WI.

I guess Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio get picked on too.

1. "It was worse than Detroit"....yep...picked on a lot.
But, I grew up in Milwaukee...which is a pretty non teased town, lived in Raleigh, NC and Syracuse New York...then back to FonduLac and Greendale WI. I gotta agree with you, but Sheboygan is a great town with a great name. :hi:

17. I grew up here, but I went to public for most of schooling.
Lacy Elementary was where I went to k-2, then a private school for a few years, then back to public.

This town has changed a lot since you left!

:D

9. Try Columbus
Diebold, not one but TWO election fiascoes, Taft, Coingate, Noegate, Cowtown. Shall I go on? The only thing we've got good going on here is the Buckeyes!

11. No, but my state does.



Everything from the Y2K election (probably justified) to what its physical outline compares to.
