Mouth 2 Mouth

The contest was supposed to end Friday, however somehow I screwed up my dates and days.  I have to tell you I read some fabulous posts!  There really were some terrific examples of city posts.  Some of you had some fun with these and I liked that.

Toby Boyce's "Why Would You Want to Live in Delaware?"  This was a wonderful description of the town of Delaware, Ohio, local trivia, hometown hero's and a 60000 attendee harness racing party.  

Toby Barnett talked about "Mukilteo Washington."  His post included the views that Mukilteo is known for, his favorite local chowder (yeah Toby Ivars does have quite a chowder, but it's not quite as good as the Edgewater's!), and recreational opportunities there.

Rick and Ines gave us a brief overview of "Southeast Florida and Miami-Dade County"  Of course a lot goes on in Miami so there's quite a number of things a person could write about.  Through the Garcia's we learn about a secret (not anymore) gem that few people outside of Miami know about.  This was also a well laid out post with some awesome pictures.

At 8,300 feet above sea level, Jessica Hughes tried to write about Boulder, Colorado, until the snow that kept her from leaving home reminded her that she actually calls "The Town of Gold Hill, Colorado" her home.  With the steepest county road in the in entire nation it's not surprising this is a town of only 200 residents.

Rich Jacobson told us about "Silverdale, Washington" and "Life on the Peninsula."  There's a lot going on in Silverdale due to it's central location in the waters of Puget Sound.  I love the pictures Rich used and I was astounded to learn the Trident was developed in the area.

I was fortunate to learn about "Cedar Rapids, Iowa," Christopher Smith's Hometown, where apparently alien invasions are a part of the traffic report, and the streets smell like Captain Crunch (Did you eat breakfast this morning?).

Through Leanne Paynter I was able to learn that "Fort Lauderdale, Florida"  is known as the "Venice of America" for it's many waterways.

Todd Murphy explained that "Birmingham" has birthed three of American Idols best contenders.  

Karen Villa Schweinfurth brought "Everett, Washington" to the table.  With over 1,600 acres of parks, the largest building in the world, and the second largest marina on the west coast Everett's known for some "big" accomplishments.

Talking about both Harrisburg, and Concord, North Carolina, Leigh Brown weighs in with talk of the first discovery of gold in the U.S. at Reed Gold Mine in 1799.

From Tony Marriott I was able to learn about the sleepy town of "Buckeye, Arizona" where almost 250,000 homes units are planned at this time.  In 2004 the population was only 17,550 people.

Gena Reid tells  of a "Sac of Tomatoes" as Sacramento was once conveyed to her.  The California capital has been growing, and is rapidly building a dramatic new skyline.

In that little state of Rhode Island is the Big City of Warwick where sailing is the game.

According to Charles Richey, "Las Vegas" isn't just neon lights but beautiful desert scenery and family communities as well.

And the winner is...Jessica Hughes with her description of Gold Hill Colorado.  Jessica will be awarded the 400 bonus points.

Thanks Jessica, and all of the entrants.  I had a great time reading these posts.
