The worse part about where I live.......

..what's the worst part about where you live?

The town has an abundance of people with an opposing worldview. That means this place is anti-business and pro-big-government.

The best pizza place has been closed for many years. No good steak place. The town just voted a huge bond issue to remodel the library. Could have built a new one, but didn't. They close elementary schools and then ask for more money to build new ones. Taxes are high.

Well if we are talking steak I went to Del Frisco's two weeks ago. They really know how to do medium rare

So good I think I might get back there this week

Much worse than bad library selection. :-(

Too long of cold weather/snow per year.

No Miller Light.

Worst part is that it's expensive. oh, and we don't get any art movies and there's no real 'downtown'
But everything else is pretty terrific. Columbia, Maryland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As an avid Miller/Coors supporter I must say this is horrifying.

We do have Miller Genuine Draft which I drink faithfully but I sure do miss Miller Light from when I travelled through the states.

Well... if you ask anyone else, it's the fact that I live here, but if you ask me it's the fact that the only place in town that served deep-fried haggis and chips shut down!

Do I even want to ask what that is?

No. You don't.

Well if we are talking steak .........

Well, if we're talking steak, I'd rather cook my own. I know the temperature that my palate enjoys with a medium rare steak and seldom is it satisfied at a restaurant. I have no compunction to returning an overcooked steak. Sure, I realize that the probability of having the returned steak with a searing of spittle rather than butter, but I like to live dangerously.

Sounds like they had a good reason to be shut Down then.

Lack of culture and diversity, downtown consists of just bars and little else, lack of economic opportunity, an area that's trying to be larger than it really is.... etc.

Haggis. Sliced & deep-fried. Dee-friggin'-licious!! ('though maybe not optimally heart-healthy)
