Black Coffee discussion

Set a scene in a city or any other place, withholding its name and see who can guess.


Ie.:


SCENE:

I paid my fare and exited the cab.

"No tip", the cab driver barked as the back door slammed shut.

I reached into my wallet to grab a couple bucks but the incandescent billboards commanded my attention. As I did a complete 360, the driver sped off, probably barking more obscenities at me, but I didn't care. I was immediately captivated by the busied street that was filled with people and commerce in every single direction. My eyes weren't the only thing experiencing sensory overload, a mesh of conflicting cuisines, fuel exhaust, and waste assaulted my nose as I inhaled and exhaled deeply upon the realization that I had finally arrived at a place I dreamed of visiting, but now I was here for good. I grabbed my luggage and rolled down seventh avenue going nowhere in particular, but determined to find and live my dream.


Answer: Time Square

Oooh good one T. Okay I'm thinking!

I checked behind me one last time before I took off running. I could see them in my peripheral still chasing me. This was an unfair battle. Six gun men against one. I ran towards the parade in hopes that I would get lost in the crowd of over a million people. The one thing that would mess it all up, I'm nearly the only person not wearing a mask. I'm in an all black suit while everyone else is decorated in purple green and gold.

I snatched a gold mask off of the table of a salesmen. By the time he yelled for me to pay, I disappeared through the crowd.

I was yelling obscenities, flipping birds, weaving in and out of the heavily populated highway. This place has the absolute worst traffic ever. I am running late for an appointment and trying to make my way to midtown. I pull off my exit only to find that the street I need to drive down is blocked off. They are filming another one of those blasted reality shows. They make a reality show out of anything and put it here. I sigh and roll my eyes as I am forced to take a detour onto Spring Street. While stopped at a light am startled to near death as some young man comes pounding on my window, soliciting himself for something. I speed off in fear of my life, but only gained a few feet as traffic again was at a standstill. I can never make it anywhere in this freaking city on time with all of this traffic.

Where am I?

Good story,and I think the scene was mask carnival.

Kisha are you in New Orleans for Mardi Gras?

Downtown L.A?

Not L.A., wanna guess again? Or should I spill it?

I hopped off the subway quickly. It felt so good to be home. I couldn't wait to surprise Big Mama. I'd been out of prison for three weeks now, but I wanted to wait to see her until today because today would be special. Today was her birthday. She had no idea I was getting out on parole.

I breathed in the air. Mostly pollution and foul scents, but nonetheless it was refreshing for me. I stopped at a stand and got me a famous Cheesesteak. Couldn't get it better anywhere else but here.

It's been eight years. I nearly forgot which brownstone townhouse was Big Mama's considering they all look the same. Until I saw the flower pot hanging on her porch. Definitly Big Mama's.

(what city)

New York

I drove down 93 south past the gas tanks on my way to the funeral. Traffic was bumper to bumper but because I had my friend Jean with me I was able to pass the state trooper with his rounded blue hat and merge into the HOV lane. Where am I????

I was so humiliated. I couldn't believe Rob cancelled on me last minute. But I was determined to see Destiny's Child's 3rd Member in the play as Shug even if it meant going alone.

I stepped out of my vehicle and my breath was nearly taken away from the heavy cold winter breeze. Whoever named this city "The Windy City" must have been from the North Pole because windy was an understatement. Fatally artic would be more fitting.
