| In an age of franchises, fast food chains, big box mega stores, media conglomerates, look-alike shopping malls and the general omnipresent sameness there is still a lot that makes us stand apart from the rest of the crowd. The stuff that makes places special. Things like food, names, accents, pronunciations, attitudes, jokes, stores, restaurants, personalities and one of a kind landmarks. Unfortunately many of these things only continue to exist in our memories, so the purpose of this site is to gather those memories and observations in this web based collective scrap book. Take a look at the Maryland and Boston
pages as examples. If you are from either of these places some of those
items may have made you nostalgic or laugh out loud. If you are from
somewhere else, you have similar memories or knowledge of unique
characteristics of your hometown, city, state or even country. You
won't (or shouldn't) find mention of Chilies, Bennigan's, Wendy's,
Starbucks, Costco, The Gap or Wal-Mart here. If you do, delete it.
That's right, edit the page because this is a wiki that anyone can edit
(right after you register, of course). This wiki is about what makes a
place and the people that live there different and unique from anywhere else. Write about the people,
shops, parks, bars, bakeries, quirks, sayings, practices and landmarks
that you are not likely to find anywhere else. In addition
to lists of what makes a place unique, you will also find maps, photos
and links to blogs, web sites, videos, and books about that particular
place so that you can explore a city or region even further.
