	Ballymena
		I was born and raised in Ballymena, a town situated in the heart of County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
		Ballymena is known as the City of the Seven Towers because years ago there were seven towers visible as one approached from any direction.
		However, it is still great to go home and walk along the river near to my parents' house, to see the many colors of green that are Ireland, to hear the accent again, to walk through the town remembering, and to sample the dulse, fish and chips, and yellow man once more.

	Slugger O'Toole: Strife in Ballymena
		What I am also convinced of is that Ballymena nationalists don't support the slogans for dissident republicans, and are not with the Ballymena RIRA people who put firebombs in the town centre, who recently were in court.
		I am sure that the stoning of Linfield fans in Derry or the attacks on these Ballymena protestants, as well as the attacks on Catholics that we also have, and the attacks on racial minorities are the key problem NI faces as we move into the future.
		And also that Ballymena has a degree of symbolic value, being the buckle on the Bible belt, Paisley's (adopted) hometown, and all the other stereotypes, and that this is a bit of a disturbance in the force for the average Ballymenian.
