just a couple of townies that love mhk so much that they moved 16 hours away asking actual townies questions but somehow hold some sort of elitism over some of my best townie buds. (i don't consider myself a townie, tho i do have a grade school affiliation )

@lib7--I'm not trying to be elitist. To me, the definition of MHK townie is someone that grew up in, went to college in, and settled in Manhattan. KatKid and RowdyBoyy fit the definition of "townie," I don't. We can't all be as lucky as those two.

Also, 'grats on the grade school affiliation, you lucky duck. Which one?

I have more townie in my pinky toe than you'll ever have in your whole body, bub. I also have a weekend house in mhk that I go to 4-5 times a month thanks to daily regional flights courtesy of AA. Which weren't there a decade ago...but you probably don't even know that. smh.

--Why didn't Metallica end up playing the grand opening of Bramlage? Genuinely curious, as I was not old enough to really be paying attention.
--Greatest place in Manhattan history to see a local rock show? (Related: Bombers got hit by Jewish Lightning, right?)

Metallica only sold a couple thousand tickets. Not yet mainstream enough at the time, I guess.

For a while, there was a place downtown called The Warehouse. Uncle Tupelo played there. Pretty elite.

Clams, I may have to check those numbers. Doesn't seem correct. Mhk was expensive when we considered moving back about 2002.

Gonna win 'em all!

very unscientific
zillow each city and do an average price per square foot of a chunk of the $500k homes. i don't have access to the MLS but i was consistent across all cities. aberrations should be flattened out. one big note is that the inventory in MHK at that price is crap so the number maybe artificially lower w/o the new construction prices that are pulling up the JOCO numbers. I guess I could have used a $300k home for MHK but I wasn't the one talking about the high cost of MHk real estate

puniraptor · « **Reply #186 on:** March 17, 2015, 10:33:13 PM »

Maybe do 200k

Attending a USD 383 school seems like a ridiculous requirement to attain townie status.

i'm actually not an antileeite at all. i think all the grade schools are great and lol all day long at parents that think there is some huge difference and "have to" get their kid in amanda. it's actually one of the best ways to judge mhk parents. quick, precise.

I can faux-townie better than some townies actually townie, but I'm still a transplant.

You can go to Catholic school and still be as townie as anyone else. You'd still go to MHS and comingle with all the other townies.
