Myths & truths: your city/town/village

thx, Eden.

The nickname for our federal Liberal party has been "True Grit", for the federal Conservative party, "Tories". I guess that's a fact or Canadian modern legend.

Conservatives do tend to be associated with colour of blue, but that is not necessarily official. So it's more reversed for us..politically. However political marketing campagins can change.

To add to the myth I explained, the owner of the LBS, who is Lebanese, was stopped by the police as he was pulling into his driveway. He was asked,"Whose car is this? Where do you live? Who do you live with?", etc. etc., as if he couldn't possibly be the homeowner of a nice house, driving a newer car. This is a guy in his forties, who has lived in town for many years.

The best way to find out what a place is really like, is to look it up in the Urban Dictionary on line. I found out Concord is described "as opposed to" the things in the towns I used to live in (neighbors and school rivals). It's hysterically funny and mostly true.
Here is an excerpt I just cut and pasted:
concord
A small town in MA 20 minutes from boston. There are a lot of punks running around and most kids do drugs because they can afford them. Concord is about average to upper class. Acton cares way too much about sports because that is all they can possibly have against Concord, but the truth is Concord doesn't care all that much about sports, and they are still good at them anyways, just in some cases is not nearly as good as Acton. Most Concordians are rich and can act stand-offish to people they don't like or are not from around here, and it's often confused with being snobby.
Tourists: "Let's take pictures of this historical town!"
Concordians: "Ew stupid tourists."
pronounced: concerd "Acton's jealous; pretty rich on drugs"

ultra slick; high class; quality; speedy and fast

This is what I see out of my dining room window. I'll let you draw your own conclusions...
