Of course not. That's the Speaker of the House. Ouch.

Newark and Pennsaucken are worse than advertised. They in essence all the gas fiery, unemployed, racket boys, and sad parts of Bruce Springsteen songs rolled into two places. Plus there are the zombies. Definitely, not a place you should consider moving. However Newark is very close to New York City, which, as any New Yorker will tell you is the center of the universe.

Interviewed for a non-ALJ position in Richmond several years ago. Like the city and would have no problem relocating to this place. Richmond, the capital of Virginia has a long history and well worth doing a Google search. Would accept there in a minute if it were on my cert. Me too--great place and I have some friends there--in addition I live in Fredericksburg---only 50 miles north of Richmond so I would not have to move, at least right away---too bad it wasn't on my cert

There are a number of good/great cities on the 2d cert. When we began the initial application process, we could pick as many or as few locations we would be willing to be assigned.
So for those who chose all the possible locations, best of luck. Likewise, those who limited their GALs, best of luck to you.
I don't appreciate disparaging remarks about any particular location. Yes, some locations are more preferable than others and for some, any location is better than none. Having been at locations around the entire USA, I can say that every place has its good and bad points. It's all an individual evaluation.
So, if you don't like a particular location, then strike it from your GAL or perhaps you shouldn't have listed it in the first place.

Every location on the second certs is wonderful except for Orland Park. None of you would like Orland Park.

OK, Gary.
Please elaborate as why Orland Park is not acceptable. Don't just ding it; give real and unbiased reasons why this place is the pits. First hand experience is even more relevant.
Hmmmn. Is there some motive behind the slam?

Is there some motive behind the slam? My only city on these certs is Orland Park. Ergo, I don't want anyone else to want it. See ok1956's learned exposition on this subject.

Thanks, OK. My thoughts exactly.
When a forum member slams a location, I wonder if that's the location they want and hope to dissuade others from considering that location.
On the other hand, they may be sharing first-hand experiences and wanting to share the same with others. But, why post negative comments? Just let others experience for themselves.
Having lived in several locations on and not on the 2d cert., I can post comments about the negative aspects of each location. However, my thoughts might not be in line as to what other find/discover. Hence, I won't disparage any site.

Gary:
Thanks for being honest.
In consideration of the latest of your recent posts, I retract the earlier statement.
So, you want to be a judge? Enough said.
By your own admission, I don't know if anyone on the forum can believe any future posts by you, as at least 1/2, or perhaps more, are false.
Many of us take this forum seriously, and not looking to joke players and clowns.
You may be a forum legend by your number of posts submitted, but you are certainly no legend in my estimation.
BTW, not trying to start a war, only exposing you for what you are.

I think we can safely say that very few people have had first hand experience with zombies in Richmond, Pennsauken, or other places. It's a joke. There are a lot of comments on this Board that are made tongue in cheek -- in fact, I make many of them. We do it to dispel tension.

Anotherfed:
Thanks for your commentary.
Perhaps you might understand, that folks across the country may have no insight as to the locations and are relying on forums members to give them the right insight. Funny, or slams, don't help in this regard.
I've lived on both the East and West Coasts and there are distinct differeincies at each location.
Want to joke about each location; acknowledge up front with specifics and details!.

Syracuse (/ˈsɪrəkjuːs/ or local /ˈsɛrəkjuːs/) is a city in, and the county seat of, Onondaga County, New York, United States. It is the largest U.S. city with the name "Syracuse", and is the fifth most populous city in the state of New York.[1] At the 2000 census, the city population was 147,306, and its metropolitan areahad a population of 732,117. It is the economic and educational hub of Central New York, a region with over a million inhabitants. Syracuse is also well-provided with convention sites, with a downtown convention complex and, directly west of the city, theEmpire Expo Center, which hosts the annual Great New York State Fair. Syracuse was named after the original Syracuse, (Siracusa in Italian) a city on the eastern coast of the Italian island of Sicily.
The city has functioned as a major crossroads over the last two centuries, first between the Erie Canaland its branch canals, then of the railway network. Today, Syracuse is located at the intersection of Interstates 81 and 90, and its airport is the largest in the region. Syracuse is home to Syracuse University, a major research university, as well as several smaller colleges and professional schools. In 2010 Forbesrated Syracuse 4th in the top 10 places to raise a family.[2]

Not to mention getting a time out by ALJD if it persists. Those of us on the board a while know Gary and his sarcasm and humor. We know him well and he is a valued member of this family.

Well said Sratty - I enjoy the comments of Gary and others whose sense of humor I "get" and appreciate - it does help lighten the stress, at least for me. :-)

Maybe a reminder about the board rules is in order here: aljdiscussion.proboards.com/post/1/threadIt seems to be a pattern that every so often, we have a round of disruptive posts. Hopefully this round ends quickly and we can go back to the polite jovial banter while we await good news! Sorry Orchid, didn't mean to hijack your City of the Day posts!

BTW, not trying to start a war, only exposing you for what you are. Who Me? I think your slam of Gary was unjustified. We all let off a little steam on the Board. Sometimes, using jokes and laughter can make the process seem less daunting and overwhelming. All of us take the process seriously trying to obtain the position, but we also like to have some fun in the process. If you can't deal with some of Gary's posts I suggest you ignore them (you can do the same for mine, too), but as for me I love Gary's quirky sense of humor, jokes and puns. Thanks Gary for bringing some levity to the process and making me smile a lot of days. I am sorry that you (Who Me?) lack a sense of humor. I am not looking to pick a fight either, but it isn't nice to slam someone on this Board and I apologize for doing it to you, but I needed to defend Gary.
