    <span style="font-family:Century Gothic">Well, Moreno Valley is one of the fastest developing cities in all of the Westcoast, so I guess that says something, huh? (rhetorical question)</span>

I dont like how people are just disposing of the worlds history now a days. I mean, come on, especially something like that. The ship yard itself probably has a good story behind it whether the RMS Titanic was built there or not. I mean imagine actually living there a little under 100 years ago and being able to see the largest ship ever, a great piece of history, being built.

    My home town is known for:The Magic, Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studio's, Wet and Wild, hot women, great high school football, tourists. Like I always claim, Orlando is the greatest city in America.As for the town I currently living in due to the job, Kandahar Afghanistan used to be the Talibans biggest strong hold. Now there are 11 thousand coalition forces occupying it.
