What's Your Town Motto?

[grampy]

This kinda got started in another thread. Would like to hear what your town or citiy's motto is, if there is one. Or what is the name of the place, where you call home?  Here in Altamont it's "A Nice Place To Live".  I know, it's off season on here. But I don't see this thread causing too much controversy. Just for fun! ........smile.......

Where i grew up..... Hoosick Falls - not sure but it says "inspiring since 1827" on the website or town of Hoosick - it's along what was called "The Great Eastern Trail" back during the French and Indian War.

...similar to where i am close by in Pittstown.  claim to fame is it's just historic.

Addison..." The Home of Jimmy Greengrass"......

Jimmy was a major  league baseball player back in the late 40's/early 50's...

 

On ANOTHER note, The Ritz Café was a bar/grill on Main St. back when Addison was known as a somewhat rowdy town..

The sign over the door  read " The Wild West center of Steuben County"...

The Ritz closed a number of years ago and was bought by a Christian group..It is now a church...

I can hear some of the local departed "cowboys"  turning over in their graves.......Hehehehe......

When we moved to Ontario in 1963 , there was a sign that said "Welcome to Ontario , A Community of Good Neighbors" . About a year later they took the sign down . Hmmmmmmm !

That there is funny Eddie

[Dinsdale]

I don't think we have one?

"Welcome to Loozerville" would work.

Hmmmmmmm...That sounds like my favorite place to be, back when I was dating.  Either THAT, or me crossing a shallow stream, in which most people would be " Knee Deep"....

But then life won't be worth living in Webster anymore Larry.   Plus, hunting FL stinks.

Yes, life in the Town is good.  Taxes aren't so good but I get it......a guy with young kids needs great schools, check.  Great police force, Check.  Great library system, check.  Great municipal services, check. Parks system, check. Proximity to the rest of the world, fast? Check on that one too

The biggest issue for me right now is a backyard to take a wiz, shoot my bow and maybe a .22.  (I guess I can get away with 2/3 there too but damn I want outa' here..........)

We are accepting applications in CC. If you had a hunting dog and/or a bass boat I could expedite things. 9' slate pool table wouldn't hurt

My brother lived on long st for a little bit. It would take me longer from my house(snyder) to get there than it takes me to get to his house in darien. I love everything about clarence except the time it takes to get everywhere.

Town of Cheektowaga, I heard back in the day, was known as the land of the crabapple. I guess that counts as a motto...Cheektowaga not much to write home about, Except Buffalo gun Center...

Apalachin, NY " From where the messenger returned" or so Wikipedia says. Had to look it up. Only thing this podunk town is famous for is the 1957 American Mafia meeting that got busted up. I live 3 streets east of where it happened and have never even gone up that street in the 18 years I've lived here. 

 

Binghamton ,NY is known as the Carousel Capital of the World as we have 6 fully functional in the area. Yeehaw!!
