x1yyz Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 In the R40 intro video there is a sign with the name of the current city, plus some fun little blurb about the city. In another thread someone had the brilliant idea of collecting all those cities and blurbs so we don't lose track of them. So, here you go. Let's update this thread with each show.

JohnRogers Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Ready to report! Tulsa's Raceway Park is nationally known for excellent surface quality and a great Midnight Drag Racing program that keeps the youth from racing on the street. Tulsa has a gay bar scene with drag shows but not better than any other locales. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanT37 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I can disagree on RUSH sayings about Dallas, Texans cheerleaders are so much better, wait guess this is why Houston and Dallas cant get along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I wonder what Newark's video will say? "Newark: where the weak are killed and eaten." Or maybe "well at least the arena is nice." 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordercollie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Just found the St Paul video on Youtube. "Two Is Better Than One" is the exact wording, so we can get rid of all the question marks. :) Edited May 22, 2015 by bordercollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch The Mystery Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Every city seems to have different props as well. It woud be fun if we could gather all the city images in this thread during the tour :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Impressive detail. I figured changing the name of the city would be no big deal. But also including unique slogans, population, and visual icons is above and beyond the call of duty. Can only mean one thing... Rush loves us. Sniff They really love us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordercollie Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Getting overly nerdy here, just counting the shows I attended, the populations were: Tulsa 900KLincoln 270KDallas 1.2M The latter two are the real city populations. The Tulsa one is the whole metropolitan area. The actual city population is just shy of 400K. C'mon Rush, be consistent with your data!!!!

TexMike Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Houston could've gotten something more clever than "The Capital Of Air Conditioning". Something space related, like 'Houston - Aim For The Stars'? Or how about 'Houston - Do We Have A Problem?' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
