Some explaining...

Yes Mother I realize I am in more than one town... Let me explain the phrase.. I got the phrase nice town weird folk from a little place named Ashville, North Carolina. This was such a cool place. It was the liberal area and I actually saw gay people walking around and lots of people with pink hair. I began to feel a little more at ease. These were the type of people I'm used to, liberals, lesbians, and tattoed peeps. The funny thing about the town, was that in almost every store it was advertised, weird is fun, or weird.... something. I felt the most comfortable in this town at this point. It was just funny for it to be advertised We are weird here!. You don't go to San Francisco or Berkeley and see advertisements about how weird everything is, you can just see it.

So, I am leaving the town and I stop at this shop where there is a shirt hanging in front that says, "Nice Town, Weird Folk. Asheville, North Carolina" I can't take credit for the phrase, that's where it came from.
