Well, as far as birth city

It's named after a passage to the north, near a 'big river' you can walk across. Many people walk through it every year. The state on their side is named after a dog (or is it the other 'way' round). Someone once fell in love with a Mexican girl here...;) and a buncha people got shot up here in 'Kill Bill'...;)

It's older than the US, founded around 1710-20 or so. There's a brand of Mexican food named after it.

Gene Roddenberry was born here as well.

Guess where I am from :P

I live about 100m away from a river and there is alot of snakes around yet I live a walk away from the City.

It is closer to the equator than Rome, Chigago or Azores. It has the cleanest air in the world and the most pure rainwater.

Hmm...sounds like Latin America (not sure how far south the Azores are, just that they're in the Atlantic...;)

Since it's in Km, that lets out the US...;)

Since it has clean air and water, it definitely isn't the US...;) (or Mexico City...;)

Since I don't know of any cities there, I'll say Costa Rica for 20....;)
