The city in which I live is the only place where...

[Henri von Braun]

This, again, is a game.

The goal of this game is to name the city in which you live and say what's unique about it.

I'll start : Beijing is the only place where... people walk not on the sidewalk but on the road <--- For goodness sake !

Your turn now !

[satcharna]

Stockholm is the only place where cutting down a rotting tree on a university campus is considered a threat on human rights. Seriously, we had demonstrations.

[Trekkette]

Woodstock is the Dairy Capital of Canada. There's a stature of a milk cow on main street. It's butt is facing McDonalds.

[Jones-250]

Helsinki is the only non-allied capital in Europe that was not occupied during the war.

The other ones (allied included) are London and Moscow.

And... errr.. we have a subway that is mostly above ground.

The town that I live in (Won't say the name) is pretty much the only town I know of in Pennsylvania where if you go from one side of the post office to the other you enter a different county. Other than that it's pretty much in the middle of f-ing nowhere.

Manila, where people elect a convicted criminal as the mayor. Sad but true

[harharluke]

The town I live in (also wont say the name) is the only place 3 miles from the place that William Wordsworth got married in

[billybobsatan]

Jacksonville FL is the largest city in the continental US.

It also once had the world's largest fountain.

[Canopus]

Frankfurt am Main, the city where i live is the largest financial centre in Europe.

[ZedNova]

The Village where i live in is the only place where almost everyone looks like a criminal, but they're all nice people.

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

The city I live in had the worlds largest shopping mall for a while

I think I might know where you are...

The village that is my hometown is the only place (I think, it was several years ago...) that the book that records the names of Canadian soldiers has been aside from Ottawa.

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Oh noooooo.

[Camelotking524]

The town I live in is named after a 18 century farmer first name. The high school mascot is an Indian, which makes no sense.

[ROFLCopter64bit]

Melbourne is the only city in the world where the gravitational constant is exactly 9.81.

[TheFlower69]

The city where I live was scheduled to have the tallest residential building in the UK, but currently has a large hole in the ground with a couple of depressed looking builders in it

[astrokerb]

Sadly, the city I live in now has nothing unique. But the city I used to live in is the only city where the entire police force will respond to a parking violation. It's only ten people, but still.

This is really depressing but our city had the largest mass hanging in the United Sates.

[CommanderCoye]

Chicago has the tallest building in the United States: The Sears Willis Tower.

[Jett_Quasar]

The city I live in is known for it's cougars, but it's in the record books as the world's largest hamlet.  Isn't that kinda like being the world's tallest midget? LOL
(BTW it's right next to the photo radar capital of Canada and the city that used to have the largest shopping mall...)

Not true.  NYC has the new One World Trade Center, which is the tallest in the western hemisphere.

My town is one of the only towns in the US to be on the mouth of a major river, and not be a large city.  OK, it was pretty big when boats were able to get in, but the sandbar has prevented ships from getting in for a long time.  It was only 'booming' when the steam ships were popular.  That is until the Lexington Disaster.
