Most no-parking signs everywhere.

Also used to host "The Great Georgina Ice Fishing Derby" which got canned in 2008 because of the bad economy.
Other that that not much else in this little backwater.

Personally i'm from belfast and we are the best crowd in the world.



Where abouts in Belfast are you from man?

What do you mean best crowd in the world? Everyone knows thats Glasgow.

You got Gary Moore, Stiff Little Fingers, Energy Orchard, Therapy?, a recent civil war, the most bombed hotel in the world, Kenneth Brannagh, C.S. Lewis, and the Titanic to name a few

Oh yes we're so proud of the titanic, the boat that didnt make it :D


lol, true but its still a claim to fame. Where abouts in Belfast are you? Do I know you?

Small world.

Fort Worth is in Tarrant County. That in where the "Dallas" Cowboys play (Arlington Texas).
