Sometimes I say "Yorba Linda: Gateway to Anaheim!". Ok, it's not much, but I made it up myself. Years ago there was a contest held by the city of Bakersfield, CA to select a town motto. There was an article in the L.A. Times about the matter, and they shared some of the REJECTED mottos, including... "Bakersfield: Everybody Has to Live Somewhere" "Bakersfield: Slightly Better than Unimproved Desert" ... and my favorite... "Bakersfield: Where Armadillos Go to Die" They finally settled on something boring, like "Bakersfield: Hub of Progress" or such. Pffft.

Sacramento, I've seen the label, " City of trees", and also the river city, and gateway to Gold country. My phrase would be: " Sacramento, the river will fool you at night."

I don't suppose it's very PC, but I was on the bus a few days ago and saw some graffiti stamped semi professionally on some signs. It said ''Liverpool, twinned with Baghdad''. It made me laugh, the area where this was stamped probably could be legitimately compared with Baghdad.

From the actual city I grew up in outside of Milwaukee that I already ripped; Waukesha, the only way this SH**HOLE ever got populated was because too many people couldn't find there way out of this maze where every street has 3-4 different names, are always one-way the wrong way,etc. Yea I know it's a bit long for a slogan but it would take you a HELL of a lot longer to get directions to somewhere here that made any sense.

“A car is useless in New York, essential everywhere else. The same with good manners.” “New York Taxi Rules: 1. Driver speaks no English. 2. Driver just got here two days ago from someplace like Segal. 3. Driver hates you.” “New York's such a wonderful city. Although I was at the library today. The guys are very rude. I said, "I'd like a card." He says, "You have to prove you're a citizen of New York." So I stabbed him.” “Storing your car in New York is safer than entering it in a demolition derby. But not much.” “New York: the only city where people make radio requests like "This is for Tina - I'm sorry I stabbed you” “There is a new billboard outside Time Square. It keeps an up-to minute count of gun-related crimes in New York. Some goofball is going to shoot someone just to see the numbers move.” “Traffic signals in New York are just rough guidelines.” “Young singers ask me, "Do I have to live in New York?" I say, "You can live wherever you want-as long as people think you live in New York."” Yeah I guess you guessed where I live.
