Kidding aside, it's always been my favorite part of the movie.

I'm reminded of an episode of King of Queens where Doug's father in law after seeing it for the first time, says, "They show that without George the town is more successful with all kinds of bars and clubs." Maybe he has a point.

I guess if you're into depravity (and lots of fun I suppose), then Pottersville is the town for you. Personally, I'd open up a cat house with side sales of all sorts of toys. I'm sure old man Potter would expect his deliveries in plain paper wrapping (and in the rear I'd bet).
If you're into wholesomeness, then Bedford Falls would be where you want to live.
Given the choice though, I'd take Bedford Falls.
