Have we gone too far with the "(Insert City) Strong"

[12Nole]

This has to be the most played out tagline for a city when following any minor or major tragedy.

Some little town in the middle of nowhere is begging for a three car pile up so they can use it. It's that bad and overused.

I'm really out of touch. Something's played out and I don't even know what you're talking about.

A tree branch fell on Cafe Risque during Irma which started a "Gainesville Strong" movement.

Examples other than those cities which had major tragic events please.

You don't think it's an overused tagline? I've seen a few people already using in Jacksonville. #DuvalStrong #JacksonvilleStrong.

No. The only places I've seen it used are in places like Boston after the bombing or Houston after biblical flooding. I'm not in Jacksonville so I haven't heard anything coming from there but they did just experience flooding like most there have never seen. If that rallying cry brings folks together, then I see zero issue with it.

Now your favorite #MichUltraStrong is both inaccurate and stupid.

Duval/Jacksonville? That should be #JhortStrong.

Think you might be a bit hypercritical here. Don't be a Hater! Yea, I know that sounds ridiculous but you get the point.

Our little town in the Texas Hill Country had a terrible flood two years ago, and these banners and flags popped up everywhere. I first thought someone local had dreamed up the idea, but it soon became obvious that we were just the next in line to use it. I'm not sure why putting up a canned message like this would make someone feel better, but obviously it does, and obviously it doesn't hurt anybody...so have at it.

Can't believe that chant is still around, we did that in the late 90s.

#FirstCoastStrong so we can include St. Aug, etc. This is being pushed by the local stations I think.

 

[goldmom]

Yes and I'm tired of it.

 

[funksouljon]

I personally don't care if they want to be Strong. As long as we #keepAustinweird

Pretty sure I heard the mayor of Tallahassee say TallyStrong or TallahasseeStrong when being interviewed by the Weather Channel last week prior to Irma arriving.

 

[NDallasRuss]

In my town we've had some road repairs on one of the main roads that has take a lot longer than originally anticipated. People are really pulling together.

Careful 12Nole. I've already been accused of being unfair and attacking this week. My emotions are fragile right now.

Well the mayor is obviously under duress and not thinking properly. Everyone knows it would be #TallySkrong or #TTownScrong.

I live in Wimberley, F4. Our disaster was limited to families who lived along the Blanco River, and the number of people affected were a small percentage of the numbers hit by Harvey and Irma, but to our little community is was catastrophic. Our flood was not like anything anybody had ever seen, so our situation isn't really relevant to the ongoing discussion here of what to do about places that incur weather-related damage on a regular basis.

Wouldn't north Florida be #floridaskrong

Love Wimberly. Looked at propert up there. But I think we are going to go farther up by Brownwood and get something on or with access to the Colorado

 

[saenole]

Don't know much about Brownwood, but anything within the Hill Country is probably nice. Maybe real estate prices are more reasonable in Brownwood than they seem to be in Wimberley. We thought our property was very expensive when we bought it 15 years ago, but today it would probably sell for 10 times what we paid. If you buy on the river, pay close attention to the current FEMA flood maps and less attention to what the locals tell you.

It isn't just cities. You have states using it snd people's first or last names followed by strong. I believe it is allcopying Livestrong brand and tagline.
