Alright, Cardiff-
We've got quite a nice castle, even if it is a bit of a hodge-podge; some Roman walls, a Norman keep, and then the clock tower and most of the interior done up in a neo-gothic style during the 19th C. by the Bute family.
Caroline St., AKA Chippy Lane, which isn't quite as grotty as it used to be, but still does the best fish and chips in the world.
The Brains Brewery, which makes the tasty beer I like to drink.
Our lovely civic centre. The building in the centre of the foreground is our city hall, and the one to its right is the National Museum and Gallery of Wales, famous for its Monet collection.

Wales looks very beautiful.
My home town is Sacramento, California, the capital of that state. I'm not living there now, but plan to be back there within a year or so.
It's lost most of its "charm," but is an hour and a half away from San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, an hour away from Napa Valley and the gold foothills, and has MUCH better weather than where I am currently (outside of NYC). State government jobs abound in Sac. The northern California coast is just a few hours away driving, and is a favorite hangout of mine--oodles of charm and natural beauty.

I don't like living here. That is, the village (Oude-Tonge) I live in, not the city (Rotterdam) in my location tag.

Re: Your hometown and why you enjoy living there.
Hey Raz, which city do you actually live in? Perth would fit all of those indicators, ie Boring and uninteresting. At Least I'm not in Adelaide!jk.
My original 'hometown' although not my city of birth, was Chester in England. Quaint, historical, but overplays the Romaness a touch too much. I mean 3/4 of the 'Roman' Walls date from the Medieval period.
The Cathedral though is pretty spectacular, and this is coming form a professed atheist!
