A List Of Alternative Slogans For Abilene, Texas (Current Motto: "The Friendly Frontier"), That More Accurately Describe That (Un)Fair City

After prodding from the people that prod me, or one of them anyway, I humbly offer a list of appropriate phrases that should provide the reader with some idea of what life might be like in Abilene. Don't forget, I should be doing actual work instead of this.1. Abilene: Enjoy Leaving!2. Abilene: Have Fun Driving Through Us On Your Way To Nowhere!3. Abilene: Because You Can Never Have Enough Churches4. Abilene: Now There's A Starbucks!5. Abilene: Why?6. Abilene: Prone To Flooding7. Abilene: Because Sometimes You Make Bad Choices8. Abilene: Come For The Schools, Stay For The Poor Economy9. The Occasionally Friendly Frontier10. The Friendly City (Because The Frontier No Longer Exists)11. Abilene: We Let Students Pick Our Slogan12. The Genial Frontier13. The Complacent Frontier14. The Semi-Positive Frontier15. Abilene: Everything Is Brown Here16. Abilene: One Day At A Time17. Abilene Schmabilene18. Abilene: The Key City To A Door You Don't Want To Open19. Abilene: More Crime Than You'd Think"We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."
