Saturday Six

1. A friend arrives from out of town and wants to go to dinner at a nice locally-owned restaurant: where would you take her?

We ate at the Mill tonight. It's a really good restaurant inside a mill (duh) that has been standing for 140 years. Looks like a dive outside, but the food is wonderful, and the service is hysterical--like Mom as a waitress.

2. Your friend then says he wants to learn something about the history of your city: where would you take him first?

The city in which I live? There is no history here. I'd probably hit the town square where I work, to start. Or the library, to the local history collection.

3. Does your current hometown have any specific kind of weather threats (i.e., tornado alley, etc.) or natural disaster threats (i.e., earthquake faults, volcanic activity) that concerns you?

We are in the middle of a lot of tornado weather in the spring and summer. We have blizzards in the winter quite often.

4. Take the quiz: What city shares your personality?

You scored as Rio de Janeiro. You are Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! People probably consider you to be fun and outgoing. You have a contagious, colorful personality. Rio de Janeiro 55% Killarney 55% Provo 50% Paris 40% Boston 35% Which city shares your personality? created with QuizFarm.com

5. Have you ever visited this city or lived there before?

Hell, no, and I'm in no way interested in going there. This couldn't be further from reality!

6. Based on what you know about that city, either firsthand or from others, do you think it would be a good fit for you? Do you think it would be a better fit than the city in which you now live?

Absolutely not in an way, shape, or form.
