I was thinking about this while at work.
What are some of the best things about living in your city and what are the worst things? And please state your city.
San Diego
Pros: the weather inspirational natural and man made scenery pretty safe mexican food the beach relatively nice people up and coming small town feel while being a big city laid back feel
Cons: expensive to live/visit traffic hours lack of vision for greatness (it may be getting better but that has yet to be determined) no championships in pro-sports in 51 years

Oak Forest, IL.
Pros: Suburb, not the crazy/terrible city life. I don't live far from any concert halls/sports stadiums. Lots of little kids on my block, reminds me of my childhood. Can have up to three dogs here legally, which I have. The main city in IL is Chicago, which the WWE and many bands frequent on tours. Lots to do, indoors and outdoors. Uh, no animals that prey on humans? IE bears, mountain lions, etc.
Cons: Deadly cold winters (no joke) and deadly hot summers (seriously). High sales tax. Attractions can get old quickly. I imagine that's everywhere, though. I'd prefer to love somewhere with more trees, more natural surroundings. Not far from one of the US's cities with the highest murder rate.
That's about all I got right now.

Let's say my town I live in which is Elm park, Essex which is in England (I live just outside like 5 mins away from London and technically border London and Essex)
Pros: 4 Fully stocked toy stores that carry new figures are in the space off 10 mins away Quiet No crime what so ever except drinkers at night Lots of good food places A few parks A former WW2 airfield is near by Lots of choices for schools and colleges not far away Friendly people 3 small grocery shops in my town alone
Cons: Boring sometimes The local gym has like 1 weight bench People can't drive especially at the end of my road as it is a bend and the amount of near crashes... Weather can go cold then hot then cold then rain Nosey neighbours Lots of old people, feels like I live on a retirement complex sometimes Girls are skanks
That is all.

Grafton, Ohio
Pros: Small town, low crime, quiet, safe community I've lived here since 1995 My dad lives 6 minutes away from my apartment My first two jobs were in town Decent schools Historic little town Pretty good local restaurants I work in a bigger city about 10 minutes away Only 15-20 minutes away from many bigger suburbs of Cleveland and only about 20-25 mins from Cleveland itself
Cons: Very little to do in regard to activities here Shortage of fast food restaurants Not many hot hunnies around It's a little too "country" for my taste at times

Cardiff, in Wales in the UK is where I was born and live so let's give this a go!
Pros:
-Capital City of Wales -Good sports teams -3 thriving Universities -Relatively safe for a capital city -Great night life -Excellent restaurants of all types -Very ethnically diverse city -Beautiful bay 5 minutes from the city centre -Easy to navigate, not very big for a capital city at all -Big shopping centre with most shops represented somewhere in the city -Nice buildings including a castle -Several large and beautiful parks -Friendly people -Tons of stuff to do for all ages -Loads of live music and other events
Cons:
-Terrible drivers -Bad traffic and congestion -Expensive in the city centre for restaurants, pubs and clubs -Weather is unpredictable, can be beautiful or horrendous for weeks on end -Attracts idiots who tend to trash the city when drunk, a lot of the time this coincides with sporting events
Cardiff is a great city. Proud to be from there and to be raising my daughter there.

Gateshead, UK.
Pros: Has one of the largest shopping centres in Europe (actually the largest when it was built.) Super easy access to Newcastle since only a river seperates the two. I live in the western part so I have beautiful views of the countryside on one side and a panoramic view of Newcastle on the other. Relatively safe here in the west side. WWE comes twice a year to the region.
Cons: Parts of the city centre and east are still hellholes. Overshadowed by our larger neighbour to the north (Newcastle.) If I want to go to the best store (Smyths) for WWE figures I have to travel 45 minutes on 3 buses to get there.
