Abbotsford is a small city in
British Columbia,
Canada, and it is a
hole.
It has an
approximate population of 117,000 spread across 88,616 acres.
There have been (as of
December, 2000) 4,415
business permits issued.
The
average income of a resident is $33,166 CAD
I, unfortunatly, have the
displeasure of living in this
town. It is the most
right-wing (as in "
you're going to hell" not as in you should pay less
taxes) place I have ever been to in
Canada.
Abbotsford has
churches every block and a half or so. It's the only place up in the
great white north where you can go to a
baptist church and right across the street, there is
ANOTHER Baptist church. (Note: there is nothing wrong with
Christians or
Baptists, but like any group, there are the crazy
extremist types... and the ones out here are extremely vocal and visible)
Although there are (
apparently) 4,500 businesses in
town, they all close by 11:30PM. When you've just finished a
coding at 3AM and you would like to go out for
coffee, the only place to go is
Tim Hortons or drive out to
Vancouver (in case you wanted decent
coffee)
If you ever have any desire to come to this
God-forsaken place, don't
