I live in Canada and therefore don't have a zip code, as we use postal codes instead. Because of this, it could be argued that any location outside of the United States (and other zip code-using countries, if there are any) is within my zip code.

We've got a really neat hole.

And some weired ass buildings next door to my apartment complex, but thats just my own paranoia talking

Semantics, whee!

I think the point is more that he wants to know if there are interesting places near where you live.

Etobicoke Olympium. The best place to go if you want to pickup swimmer chicks.

We live in a small town so there is nothing worth mentioning here, other than M&M Meats, Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire... stupid retail stores

EDIT: Oh wait I just thought of something... for you canadians who live in Ontario... you know the sewer covers that say Renfrew Ontario on them, yeah, yup, they make those here

Well, I think architecturally my city is rather rich place, even if it's not very old, so architecture buffs might find it interesting.

The church on the right is about 200m from my apartment

Valen but seeing sail masts on a hull that modern looks...weird.
Nice city you've got there, Oberleutnant.

the wreck of the HMS Gaspee. The British Revenue Cutter was the first naval casualty of the Revolutionary war.

I live in the Capitol City of West Virginia, three blocks from the Capitol Complex.

And if it dind't have it's own zipcode, it'd be in mine.

Uk headquarters for microsoft, European headquarters for oracle. UK (european?) headquarters for macrovision.. err.. symbol and some other major software companies. all the interesting stuff near me = computer related.

all of them within atleast half hour to an hour walk from my house. less than ten minute drive.

Oberleutnant:

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Also somewhat near here (we have like, 30-50 zip codes in Albuquerque for whatever reason), Dukes Stadium (home of the Albuquerque Isotopes - Thank you Mayor Chavez and The Simpsons), Tingley Coliseum, The Pit, the Albuquerque Downs, the Sunport... Albuquerque's really not that interesting.

Balloon Fiesta park and Sandia Casino are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay on the other side of town.

Warhammer World. (Head office of Games Workshop).

Not terribly interesting, but they do have a lifesize bronze statue of a Space Marine outside.

*snip pretty pictures*

I was there a month ago! Like, right there, on some of those streets. Haha.

Anyway, my zip code has the Kennedy Space Center, one of very few places humans launch shit into space from. Actually, it's in its own city (Orsino) which lacks a zip code for some reason (I can't find one, anyway)... but it's less than 5 miles from my house, so I think it counts.

Other than that, Merritt Island is devoid of anything interesting.

Quadlok · Post by **Quadlok** » 2005-06-03 07:00pm

In my ZIP code? A large smelly mushroom farm and Target's regional distribution center. About two away is the state capitol

which I've always felt kicks other states' capitols asses.

Busch Gardens and Adventure Island are 33612, which is close enough (right next door if the map is to be believed).
