”Jönköping har den bästa kebabsåsen hands down. Kebabkultur när den är som bäst!”
”Västerås är bästerås.”
”Skövde är världens bästa plats, allt man behöver finns. Shopping, kultur, sport och snälla människor. Jag har ändå bott i ett annat land i en väldigt stor stad i 15 år. Här är det avslappnat och mindre stress!”
”I Kiruna flyttade vi hela jävla stan tre kilometer för att gruvan skulle få plats. Vem mer gör det? Vi har norrsken som dansar gratis varje natt, ett ishotell som byggs om varje vinter, och midnattssol som gör att du kan grilla klockan tre på morgonen. Lägg till att vi skjuter raket från Esrange.”
”Fjällbacka har både Camilla Läckberg, Åsa Hellberg och Ingrid Bergman. Vilken mindre tätort kan skylta med det?”
”Stockholm har tech. Åre har outdoor. Göteborg har industri. Skövde har alltihop! Plus världssuccéer i dataspel, 69 naturområden och ett Vasaloppscenter mitt i stan. Här är det nära till allt utom Jantelagen. Skövde spelar helt enkelt i en egen liga.”
”Vi i Göteborg behöver ingen skyline, vi har Älvsborgsbron.”
”I Sotenäs kommun är allting nära! Alla fantastiska platser: Bovallstrand, Hunnebostrand, Väjern, Smögen, Hållö, Kungshamn, Hovenäset, Bohus-Malmön, Tossene och Askum. Havet, vandringslederna, Nordens Ark, skulpturparken, stenhuggerihistorien osv. osv. Alltid värt ett besök & bästa platsen att bo på!”
”Skövde har allt! Gaming, Högskolan, kultur, mitt emellan Stockholm och Göteborg, en rik historia, Billingen och framförallt alla vi som bor här!!!!”
”Norrköping är bästa staden, en liten storstad med fin arkitektur, pampiga alléer, strömmen, industrilandskapet och spårvagnar på det. Klart bättre än det tråkiga Linköping som ligger utspritt på slätten en bit bort.”
“Linköping wasn’t founded—the universe expanded until it was perfect for Linköping.”
”Det pratas om att Skövde saknar vattendrag. Skitsnack! Vi har ju både Vänern och Vättern!”
