My city is awesome, Heaps of fun to be had lots of cool people around. Heaps of good nightlife sweet pubs and bars. And it is big enough to have all this cool stuff but also not be to big and crowded. Only problem is lacrosse is really small here.

I live in St. Louis. It's all good.

It may be the most dangerous city in the US, but only when your down town at night. You will get shot in some hoods down town. lol

The suburbs are good though.

Syracuse, New York. Beats Chicago.

lets not exaggerate now....im from upstate too so i rep the block, im always going back and forth to syracuse, but chicago is pretty BA in my opinion.

im from Utica, its a smaller city about 45 minutes east of syracuse. its pretty cool there, we have a nice downtown and a good variation from urban to suburban to country. it all spreads out and even if were not so big on lacrosse, 3 neighboring towns are huge in it, so theres always lax to play with someone.

I believe Stephen Colbert said it best about our fair city:

Wash DC is a Chocolate City with a Marshmallow Center all surrounded by a graham cracker crust of corruption. That's right, a mallomar.

There are some gems in and arround the city, but those are mostly outgunned (sometimes literally) by some places no one wants to to go to or live in.

its really borring. we are the 75th largest city in the nation, but it feels kinda small, but our crime rate is pretty high.

and out of the entire state we have 25 schools that play lax. 2 within the city, ones a private school. the rest are a 2+ hour drive.

my town is the center of immigrints in MA (not racist) but when the crime level goes up 10% everytime a new family comes from mexico its telling us something. in the south side o my town is just plain gehtto-like gun point robberies every day. the center part of my town is quite nice-except for the druggies. the west part of my town is ballin'. except thats were most of the stalkers are

Do you live in Framingham?

My town is decent. We have a bunch of stores. But we also have quarries and places to hang out. Lacrosse was introduced like 2 years ago, but its getting pretty popular.

The city I live in: Middleton Wisconsin

Ranked as number 1 place in the country to live, and seventh ranked city to raise a family. A small suburb of Madison, where the University of Wisconsin is, which annually ranks as a top 10 party school, a top 25 football team, a top 25 basketball team, and a top 10 hockey team. Also ranks as the number 1 Halloween party in the country.

Middleton is a fun little town, with a real family atmosphere and I enjoy living there. Its extremely safe, but extremely fun. Lots of parks, lakes, and fun things to do.

The city I go to school in: St.Louis Missouri

Recently ranked as the most dangerous city in the United States. Its small counterpart, East St.Louis, was once ranked as the murder capital of the country. St.Louis also consistently ranks as one of the most unhealthy cities in the country.

Luckily, my school is in a small rich neighboring community, where the average house value breaks $800,000. Plus there is lots of good bars and clubs nearby. I still love St.Louis to the bone. Go Cards.

Livermore is alright, it's like 45 minutes away from San Francisco, medium size, around 85,000, it's getting better though since we got a nice new movie theater like 10 months ago and downtown has been redone, lacrosse isn't huge here but it's growing. It can get boring at times but it's a good city overall.

My city isn't bad, well that bad....

We don't have pro lax or hockey though. Actually the only pro sport is football and we have the bombers.

My area is good but there are a lot of druggies, but they live like normal people. Like it isn't a crappy area, not really any homeless people, but we just have lots of people into drugs. And my school just has a lot of really,really, stupid people. And asians, lots of asians. But they are exchange students, so w/e

Eclipse do you go to SLU? How is it..brief because I don't mean to jack this.

I live in a suburb of Cleveland, it is right on the lake and is pretty nice. It's a nice town and all, but can get boring, but we find stuff to do.

Edit: Murder dang I have always wanted to live in San Diego the weather is perfect all the time and it's just sweet..and the SDSU campus is really cool from what I have seen.

Double edit: nevermind eclipse just saw your sig.

yea my brother goes to sdsu and LOVES it. it's really close to the beach and the chicks are fineeee.
since i live so close to state(like 25-30minutes) it's not a hard commute at all.

I LOVE SD

Is the campus really as sick as it looks on google images?(closest I've gotten)

I don't see myself going there, but I want to get out there on a trip/maybe live there when I'm older.

Shreveport, Louisiana. Its not that bad, all though the population swelled from people displaced by Katrina. 3rd largest city in Louisiana (maybe 2nd behind Baton Rouge now). Lax is small here, we have 5 teams, so we play in the Texas league. Our violent crime rates are really high, ahead of cities like Compton, Oakland, etc. in some areas. Worst thing about it is that while its a large city, everything is spread out. Other than a few neighborhoods, you have to drive to get anywhere.

Brunswick ME- Home of Bowdoin College and a Naval Air Station. It's alright, has a great downtown, and is super bikeable. Only downside is many neighborhoods are spread out. Can't complain about lax though, state champs 2007.

Clifton Park, NY. Its a pretty cool town, i live 2 minutes away from the local indoor lacrosse fields. Lacrosse is huge around here. 10 minutes away from albany. I have travel lacrosse pratice at ualbany on the turf. 10 minutes away from saratoga so if im bored ill just go to the track with family or friends and chill for the day. Very close to big local larcrosse colleges, like i said Ualbany, Siena, Union, RPI, Herkimer, HVCC. I go to every siena and ualbany lacrosse home game. I like my high school, lot of cool people. Went to my first high school party last night(three weeks into freshman year). Live in a upper scale suburban neighborhood. Pretty close to the mall so theres always stuff to do around here.

baltimore MD one of the more dangerous places on the east coast. im up in parkville though. right on the edge of the city, but im close to a ton of crap. may i also mention that bmore is the birthplace to underarmor and STX. also the proud home of the RAVENS. i think iv said too much. where i used to live in this boring a$$ city on the west coast wear lax is non existant, never played there. thank god for maryland.
