    You could list two handfuls of towns in Montana to that list.
    When a lot of the area Class C football teams have four town names combined into one with more combinations every year it seems, I'd say they're getting close ghost town status.

    Who says it's not good to be No. 11?

    "Small towns" of between 20,000 and 65,000 people? The largest city in my county clocked in at 9,175 in the 2000 census, and the county itself was listed at 45,936. The median household income ($26,463) and poverty rate (20.7% ) fit in just fine with that list, too.

    No friggin' wonder the only daily here is about to drop below 10K, if it hasn't already ...

    I don't know too much about KC, but when I was out there this past summer, the 'burbs I saw seemed pretty healthy. Guess I didn't see Grandview.

    CANADA DOESN'T MATTER! Kidding of course.

    On the square.

    Anyway.

    I stayed in Asheboro once. Not sure why. Ate at a IHOP. Had the Tutty Fruity Fresh and Fruity. It was delicious. Maybe there's not enough Tutty Fruity left in Asheboro. :(
     
  8. And a fairly famous junior team, no?

    Named the Generals and they play in the General Motors Centre, a very nice facility in the OHL loop.
     
  10. Harry Sinden played there, as I recall, as did Lindros, correct?
    As did No. 4, no?

    The burbs are for the most part, but that one just seems to attract trouble. Lots of crime. Most people went south (hence the big growth in Belton and Raymore) or west to the fancier Kansas communities.

    I didn't see Huron, South Dakota on there anywhere.

    Fail.
