Back in a city I know pretty well; it's one of my fairly frequent destinations, and I'm beginning to feel fairly comfortable making my way around. It's got a restaurant that has some of the best wings I've had anywhere.

This city is where one teenager wanted to join the Marines so much that he lost more than 100 pounds (bet he wasn't taking in any of those wings) in order to qualify. He stated that he wanted to join the Marines "because they’re the best of the best."
