Yep. I haven't spent any time in Tod, but I hear the park is a good 'un. I like wandering around Hebden Bridge a lot, and there are always good books in the charity shops there.

if the hippies don't get 'em first

That's small? My city (3rd largest in the state) has 106,000 ans some say it's pretty big.

Sorry, I'm taking into accout the Metro Area. Columbia' (Just across the bridge a couple of blocks away) ihas an actual population of 116,000

Bigger cities that I've Lived in, or spent a lot of time in than a week in are Charlotte, NC, Boston MA, Phoenix AZ, San Francisco CA, Houston TX.

Erm... which of those is suited to your average suburbia?

I'm in Portland, Oregon. The Portland Metro Area has around 2 million people. I've lived in places with populations ranging from 275 to several million people.

City? That's what I put. I'm no apartment dweller (or flat dweller rather as we call them flats here), but as far as I know this is a city I'm living in. Though perhaps Central/inner city would have been another good option, as opposed to outer suburbia (that is anything beyond inner city).

San Jose, CA. A city of nearly a million people but yet more like a suburb of San Francisco (pop. approx. 800,000). Some Americans still probably know little about SJ (high-tech industry) even though it is the 10th or 11th largest city in the US.

The town I live in now is a sleeping community for the Bay Area with a population of 30,000 plus. Up from 22,000 when I started living here almost 6 years ago. It's no longer just a farm town here anymore as some are leaving for cheaper pastures.

The whole definition of city really depends on the nation and the "city" you live in.

When I think of London, I think a huge city with 7 to 8 million people. Until I heard that the City of London is only about 10,000 (????). But then the inclusion of Westminster, and the boroughs of Greater London raise the count.

Tokyo is actually a special and unique Japanese prefecture (kind of like a state) called a to. (Tokyo-to) which is a metropolitan prefecture made up of cities and rural districts. There are 23 special cities called wards which are municipalities on the own with mayors. These wards make up the former City of Tokyo, when put together make about 8 million plus. The prefecture is about 12 million.

New York and it's boroughs - It's still NY to the rest of America. 1 mayor. But the boroughs do have their own president and DAs. So they act somewhat like separate cities. I'm sure many of its residents consider themselves independent of NYC at times or all the time. (If Manhattan is considered the main borough)

In some states or countries, a city of 50,000 could be considered huge regardless if you are pretty far from it or not. But yet here in California, you can have 100,000 and some people even in the state would have never heard of your city, let alone knowing where it is.

I live in what is called a "inner ring suburb" which is a fancy word for saying "former suburb turning into inner city ghetto"

I'm in the southeast cleveland area.

I live in a town with total population [2001] 284,528 including the metro area.

Small town of about 2100-2200 people.

I used to live in Prairie du Sac (Sauk City) WI, right down the road from Augie Derlith's grandson, who lived in the old family place. It was cool. Buried in the deep, dark, woods, on a long, narrow, rural road. The only thing that marked the drive was -- blinding white marble dolphins (the "fish" kind, not the mammals).

My ex and I went over there several times. I know the guy showed me a bunch of Lovecraft stuff, but it was 4:20 the whole time and I have a very dim memory of it.

I live in a city that is much smaller than the city where I grew up. It continues to amaze me that this is a city by virtue of its population of over 50,000 people. I am from New York City, which seems a lot more like a city...

I live in Rivendell. (I wish!)

OK, really I live in a borough of 7,600 adjoining a city of 26,000 in eastern PA. Ick.
Moving next summer to the rural area outside a small town of 4000 in eastern KY. I can't wait!
