My city replaced the green city patch (sorry can't post pictures due to privacy) that was near the town hall and replaced it with natural stone.
Before:
About a 450 m² area of a few trees, about 3 or 4 big chestnut trees and some smaller brushes.
The ground was mostly grassy with a few earth patches in the bushes.
In the middle was a seat and rest area in a stone circle and park benches and on either side was a cobblestone path.
Something like a mini park.
Around it was a small open stream of water and a little waterfall that was about 50cm tall
Very beautiful.
Now:
The whole city center was redone with white/yellowish natural cobblestone (formerly it was mostly rusty red and grey)
The park area was fully replaced with a stone desert and 6 or 7 "native trees" (as if chestnut wasnt native lmao) sourrounded by a pebble-like ground.
Around it they have built a stone stair case to sit on. Likely for events and such.
Besides the park it was done very well.
But they mutilated the small patch of greenery around the center with a stone hellscape.
I love my town but I will never respect that decision.
I would really like to show pictures to demonstrate the change for the worse :(
The man who invented the toilet lived here.
Tim Misney is on every goddamn billboard. I’m ready get him as a tramp stamp.

Hey buddy, according to dozens of youtubers and podcasters, my personal information is already out there for every one unless I pay $10.99 to an internet scrubber
My Schoolboard trustee never heard of Auschwitz. She became internationally famous.
The president.
In my state its probably the Enumclaw guy who died fucking a horse.
Not exactly, he was being fucked by a horse 🐎🐴🐎.
That's why we say in Enumclaw, it's better to give than to receive.
I visited family in Enumclaw the other week and barely managed to not bring that up
hey we also coined the phrase skid row and
Yearly recurring protests and riots on may 1st.
So much so that we now have riot-tourists that only come to experience "throwing a stone at a bank" or "getting arrested for lighting a garbage bin on fire"
Hamburg?
Bonnie and Clyde robbed a church in my town. Except, not really, it was an early scene in that movie from the '60s.
It was a grocery store back then.

Succulent Chinese meals.
Not my current town, but the town I grew up in.
In short, volcanoes. The town in built next to a lake. The biggest lake in the country. The lake is a caldera crater, from one of the biggest volcanic eruptions ever that we know of. And fun fact, it's still slightly active, and several hundred years overdue.
Taupo?

Castells - a competition of building human towers as high as possible.
It has a long history where I live in Catalonia - there's a good museum of it in the Villafranca team's practice facility :-)
Meth.
Lawton, OK: We're not called the 'Shady 580' for no reason.
Since you didn't actually answer the question, I'm going to have to assume that your town is known to be in the shade.
More like we're known for a lot of petty crimes among other things, like, someone's going to steal anything that isn't tied down in your yard, and in some cases even when it's tied down, someone will just cut the chain or cable and make off with it.
Swamps, cigars and drug smuggling.
