If your town was a person

I saw this great thread over at the lonely planet chat area Thorn Tree city thread

They cover a lot of ground, but there are more places to ponder:

Minneapolis is a twenty something white guy who likes to appear cosmopolitan, but has really never left town. He likes the discovery channel but he really doesnt care for the taste of cilantro. He states his love of diversity, but really doesnt know anyone of color. He has never taken the bus. He drives fast and is a bad drunk. He is the youngest in his family. He's only been to St Paul on a few occasions and always gets lost.

Saint Paul is a gray haired grandmother with a big laugh. She's God fearing, and loves to play cards and have a drink. She lives alone in a modest house with vinyl siding and lawn ornaments. She gets up by 5 AM, and goes to bed early. She uses rose scented hand cream from Avon. She's always curious about her neighbors, and will offer a hotdish for a chance to go over and get the scoop. She loves the radio. She has learned to say "hello" in Hmong.

any other ideas?
