Worst town slogan in Brazoria County, TX?
Tough job, coming up with a town slogan.
Do you just put on the rose-colored glasses and let it fly, no matter the warts of the town?
Or do you try to be somewhat rational and yet just a tad idealistic, thinking the city someday might solve all its problems, including keeping the weeds mown in the summer and the streets clear during the monsoons?
Someone's always gonna find fault with the town slogan. That's a given. People like to complain, especially those who were born and reared in a town they never left. To them, the town slogan sticks in their craw.
Here in the Brazoria County, the town slogans are these:
Alvin - In Touch with the Past, Planning for the Future
Angleton - Where the Heart is
Clute - Home of the Great Texas Mosquito Festival
Freeport - Gateway to the Gulf
Lake Jackson - City of Enchantment
Manvel - City on the Rise
Pearland - Where Town and Country Meet
Richwood - Gateway to Brazosport
Sweeny - A City with Pride
West Columbia - Where Texas Began
Which one is The Worst, The Sappiest, The Most Inane, The Most Leading, etc., etc., or just the worst in the bunch ??
You may vote in the poll over in the right sidebar. It'll stay up there til I get tired of it.

You forgot a good one!
Brazoria -- The Cradle of Texas
Lake Jackson gets my vote. It's anything but enchanting.
How about "Lake Jaskson - Birthplace of Gladys Kravitz"? Fitting since they find it so necessary to meddle in everyone's bidness.
You forgot "Freeport: Where the Sunsets are green, sort of like Krypton or something."
Is that Moquito Festival for real?
naively,

Yes, SFMoO, the Texas Mosquito Festival is a real annual event.
The town, when deciding what to name its annual festival, selected the title cause there's was nothing else to really hang its hat on except for the sizeable mosquito population that bedevils its citizens.
I give them points in the self-deprecation category.
Brazoria - We do so, have indoor bathrooms!
