"New York, New York, New Haven, Hoboken"

I went to college in New Haven and live in Hoboken currently.

More specifically, my girlfriend lived in NYC for school, I lived in New Haven for school, then we moved in together in Hoboken and have lived there since.

technically I am from Hell's Kitchen - there has to be a good shout to that in a song somewhere

for some reason, I've always been tickled pink by Ghostface on "Apollo Kids" shouting out Raleigh-Durham International Airport

I mean my other choices besides "Cuyahoga" were "Cleveland Rocks" and "The Heart of Rock and Roll" so

haha, no way was I going to bust out "My Town" after taking a pass on "Cleveland Rocks."

I guess I could've gone with "In The Heartland," which specifically mentions Mayfield Rd., the first major street just north of my house.

There's only one, Nothing Painted Blue's "Up With Upland".

I certainly wouldn't say favorite, but only:

though I do kind of like being reminded of when the guy who owned the mini golf course started selling all sorts of cheap alien-related paraphernalia
