I’m so super-excited about being in Awesometown. All my friends are really psyched. Is there a twitter account?
Awesometown:
The Chores, The Stores
Fresh Air, Bridgeport Square
On Awesometown:
This should put to rest once and for all any belief that the white race is superior!
Too bad two more stores bit the dust.
On Awesometown
name is the result of a contest at Five Points. Sort of excludes most of the City. Not a very thoughtful campaign.
Levitz in Stevenson Ranch is history too, you can see the Going Out of Business Sign next to the Grand Opening.
I wondered why NAFF included Jesse Jackson and what he has to do with our City Council? Seriously, I felt as if NAFF saw this particular clip, wanted to use it, but didn’t know what to do with the only person of color in it; so, use Jesse Jackson. I don’t remember Jesse Jackson ever speaking on behalf of our city or OVOV.
13 years of using someone else’s identity, and that nets you 16 months in the slammer (8 or less with time off for good behavior)? Wow, thats um, how you say, um, acceptable risk…. yah thats it.
On NotaFerryFan:
Who knew that Jesse Jackson had a vested interest in high density development!
Is Canyon Country included in the Awesometown designation, or is it still the red-headed step-child of the SCV? Maybe Mediocretown?
Hey, ease of the redheaded step child comment. I resemble that fact!
I think the campaign is misguided and kind of disregards the rest of the City of Santa Clarita. It even misses the link between Valencia and the proposed Newhall Ranch.
ND, good one. Newhall could be Jeffmantown or ………!
Words omitted to avoid controversy.
cash, don’t worry, Bill will fill in the blank.
Oh no, not BR!
“Is Canyon Country included in the Awesometown designation, or is it still the red-headed step-child of the SCV? Maybe Mediocretown?”
Canyon Country and awesome could never been associated.
The official word just in. The Roast House has been sold. Mike is having a goodbye party begining tonight (cigar nite) and this weekend. Drop in and bid fond farewell.
Love that the Awesometown blog has a link to scvtalk.com! Keep those comments coming!

Fred, we prefer to call them Gingers
NickelDime says: “CC is Ferdmantown.”
Canyon Country is definitely NOT Ferdmantown! There are plenty of us who are not Ferdman fans…
BGH
And plenty of us that are not BGH fans as well.
Best. Counterpunch. Ever.
Get your checks cashed in Ferdmantown!
Ferdmantown: The only drive-thru Arby’s
Den of Sin,
Where the AV begins.
Ferdmantown, Ferdmantown
For The Win.
Al: My “fans” tend to be ethical and fair. Someone like you not being a fan of mine means I am doing something right, thanks…
Berta
Your practice of starting an argument and making offending statements is a practice that is just not going to be tolerated anymore. If you have something rational to present the world is all ears, but if you have nothing else to say, the only thing you can do right is what you do for the majority of the time by not touching the keyboard.
Al: I am simply stating fact. Your tactics to silence me have not worked very well so far and I do not anticipate that will change. I neither ask your permission nor seek your approval for anything I have said in the past or will say in the future so you can take your keyboard and put it where the sun don’t shine.
Berta
You are not listening, learning or stating any facts. You don’t appear to realize that rationalization, innuendos and vulgarity will not help you make a point.
RE: Signal Story: Truck crashes into Canyon Country house.
I don’t know what the bid deal is – I don’t think I’ve seen a Canyon Country house that DOESN’T have a truck parked on the front lawn

Al: I think I made my point quite well…You are the one not listening or learning.
Big Bertha is BACK!!!!!!!!
little cash is BACK!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Bertha:
Hot lights. Kiddie pool. Eager crowd.
GET IN THE JELLO!!
PS – STAT!!
And bring Alan, of course!!!!
As the unofficial mayor of Fredmantown/CC I ask that you keep the cruel jesting to a minimum or risk having your Costco memberships revoked.
HA!, That’s ok, I do just fine without a gallon of mayo!
ND: While Al has crowned himself king of Canyon Country and you now rename OUR community Ferdmantown, I say over my dead body!!!!!
