Bicentennial sloganeering.

In 2013, New Albany will be 200 years old. Let's brainstorm on the topic of official bicentennial slogans.

New Albany -- where ordinance enforcement goes to die and be buried in Larry Kochert's garage.

New Albany: From plate glass to broken window panes in only 200 years.

New Albany: Two centuries of bad manners and cretinous politics.

New Albany -- Land of the indentured tenant, home of the slumlord.

New Albany: Our Coffey is cold and the Price is wrong.

You get the feeling, eh?

But seriously, lest I again find myself accused of hating my town by virtue of stating the obvious, are there any positive, uplifting slogans that we can use, and that can be said aloud without choking on the irony?
