Why Waterloo, New York might be annoying:

    The Sullivan Expedition wiped out nearly the entire Indian (sorry, Native American) population in the region.
    Despite this, their high school sports teams are known as the 'Waterloo Indians.'
    Most of its Memorial Day events focus more on tourism and entertainment than actually commemorating the day.
    Apart from the Memorial Day celebrations, not a whole lot goes on.
    It was named after the battle that caused Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat.

Why Waterloo, New York might not be annoying:

    The original planning for the Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York took place in Waterloo.
    It is a small town.
    The local high school football stadium was named after Coughlin in 2006.
    It has been described as 'one of the nicest little towns' in New York State.
    Its location technically makes part of the middle finger of the Finger Lakes.
