On a scale of 1-5.
Mine's around a 3. I used to think it was boring, until I discovered some decent venues, jazz night and a hookah bar. But the people here are so stupid (minus the XLT regulars of course.) Oh yeah, and the music scene in Fort Worth is highly underdeveloped. No one really seems to care about anything.

Of course, that's in Fort Worth, and I live in Saginaw.
Saginaw's a 5. :( (5 being most boring)

I'd say mine is pretty boring, its about an hours transit from the city. its a nice beach retirement area where old people and artsy fatheads live. all the kids are doing meth here now so I stay in mostly.

I currently live in Orlando, FL so I guess we can consider that my "hometown" for now. I guess from an outsider's perspective, there is probably plenty to do here (theme parks, tons of stupid tourist attractions, malls, huge movie theatres, etc) but to a person who just lives here, well, all that shit gets old rather fast. In the university district/area of orlando there are a few cool people, and a lot of fathead trendy bastards. I'd say to me its probably a 3.5 out of 5 on the boring scale.

0.5 I'd say. but we have a major factory that produces explosives, and a lesser or bigger "bang" once in a while. fortunately, last time nobody got killed. so much for entertainment.

My city has one of the most toxic sites in North America, the Tar Ponds. And a really high cancer rate. It's pretty exciting stuff. Other than that it's a non-factor.

it's an okay town. it boils down to what you make of it. we're pretty lucky here, with the mountains, river and the overall nature. going out at night to the same places gets boring. same faces, same riggma roll. we're 20 minutes from the beach. cape town is also closeby, so if things get boring you go there. there's plenty to do in cape town. i spent the majority of my life here so naturally things tend get a little same old same old.

Most of the people near the ''epicenter'' are either really poor or... really masochistic, or something... the rest have long since moved out of range and isolated the affected area. There's definitely an effect even on those of us that are on the other side of town nowhere near it (I've never actually seen it), since the higher than normal cancer rate isn't a coincidence. But it's pretty negligible statistically, among the highest in NA but not high enough to freak people out, not bad enough for people to actually leave behind, like, their lives and jobs and family and stuff. Being the biggest, oldest and most established city, most people aren't going to just up and leave because of an extra .3% chance of losing a testicle. Me personally, I find it more silly than scary.
There's probably much worse toxic stews out there, but this one used to be right in the middle of a lot of people, it was pretty fucked up until the government relocated a lot of them.

The rock scene in the town are very good, and there also a jazz-academy on the University having a good influence. And of course some yuoung punks are making hip-hop. The only electronica I like is Kim Hiorthøy, and he has moved to Oslo a long time ago. Lasse Marhaug used to live here, though

Hmmm. All the superhot Bachelors of Trondheim are bullying me for being boring. And at the same time they are online on a saturday night when they should be wearing their John Travolta-suits, and showing the teenage girls how to have fun. Our only hope is Phresch I guess.

Taos? wow where did that come from! I have been there but I was just a little kid and barely remember it. I seem to recall it's kind of a hippie Native American type town similar to Santa Fe. I like all of New Mexico though, for some reason I can't pinpoint.
as far as boringness, I'd say 1 maybe currently. I like San Antonio itself and Austin is only about an hour and fifteen minutes away.. so there's usually a nice active atmosphere (even though I'm a fairly inactive person). I originally came from a really small German town called Fredericksburg about an hour north of here and it was more boring there.. but even then I found stuff to do like crawl through drainage ditches and visit laundromats. I'm pretty easy to amuse when it comes to things like that.
