<\/a>Every week, I’m sure I’ve found a question that’s going to stump me, but I’m discovering more and more that my brain kicks right in and starts running away with the answer faster than I can get it down here.<\/p>\n

This week’s question:
\nGive your city (or town or region) a new name that reflects what type of place it is, and explain why you chose that name.<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nThis one is almost too easy. I would rename it Farmville and then I would chuckle as people thought I’d lost my mind and thought I was living in a Facebook game. I might even let them think that. It could make life interesting for a while, unlike life here in the village. I often say that I live in the middle of nowhere, Michigan, and I like it that way. It’s quiet here. Nobody bothers anyone else and for the most part, the town is surrounded by fields and farms. Did I mention that it’s quiet? Often the only sound I hear is when the train happens to come through on the track at the edge of the village. Sure, there are downsides but they’re so minimal that they don’t even count to me. I only notice them when other people are horrified that the closest fast food place is 10 miles away and the closest Starbucks is something like 18 miles. That’s okay. My health would be far worse if I had easy access. I like the quiet, the sense of not being isolated, but being on my own.<\/p>\n

How about you? What would you name where you live?<\/p>\n
