About Me

I was born in 1851, when Benjamin Campbell bought 160 acres and planted it with hay and grain. This acreage later became my historical downtown core. I was officially recognized as a city in 1952. Since then I've been through a number of changes, and apparently there is a large faction of my populace who want to turn everything cool about me into office space. I'd prefer they didn't.

Oh, and you should know--the tank was a gift from another city, not a large expenditure on my part.

coffee, old school punks, wannabe punks, yuppies, beer, history, fruit orchards, rock shows, campbell pd, freestyle battles, the campbell tank, poetry, tattoos, orchards memorialized by cement namesakes

I'd like to meet:

Other cities. People born in, who live in, or who love ME--the city of Campbell.

I don't really get why so many kids from Michigan and Ohio, etc., want to be my friends, but I'm down. But I have to ask, do you really love me? Have we ever actually met?
