Location, location, location: a geography game

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Let’s learn geography! Or something. :smiley:

Each poster is going to tell us something about where they live. However, they can only post if they meet the criteria specified by the previous poster. For example, I could say “the next poster must live on the East Coast,” or “the next poster must be living in Africa.”

If you meet the requirements, tell us about the city or state or country you live in. Then make up the requirements for the next poster. Simple, no?

Alrighty then…

The next poster must live in the hometown of a famous writer or movie star, or the town/city they’re usually associated with.
