Where you live About This Page:

Well.......I don't exactly love it here. Kinda bored with it.....but I'd have to say that we appreciate having no humidity and adore Mexican food! Green chiles on everything!

[vsonnier]

I have to say that one of the only things that keep us in this area is Mustang football. DH and I both graduated from West Orange-Stark high school and love to support our awesome football team! Everytime I mention us moving to Florida DH reminds me that we would miss the Friday night football games!

I love that I live 10 minutes from the ocean and 25 minutes from New York City!

[SuperKate]

I come from the town w/ the best sports fans! Whether it be Cards, Rams, Blues....we are crazy about our sports! The summers are hot, and the winters are cold, but I like our beautiful fall and spring. Also there seems to always be something to do. Though I can see myself moving someday. Kyle is looking at an internship in Texas, and it looks like a move may be made there, but I like Texas so it's good!

I love the fact that the cost of living is low, compared to the large cities near us (Harrisburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wilmington), and the fact the we are so centrally located between Harrisburg/Hershey, Baltimore, Gettysburg, and Lancaster - and that even Philly and D.C. are within 2 hours...

Most of all, I love the open spaces, and the very family oriented atmosphere of the area. If we were only closer to the ocean (for DH) we'd probably stay in this area forever...or at least until we retire. ;

I live in a small town (< 3000 people) with a low crime rate and good schools. We are also ony 2-3 hours away from Boston and New York City.

*High Five* You said it! I can't say enough good things about Portland, but if I have to pick one aspect that I love, I'd say the Eastern Prom.

It's just that I can't imagine living anywhere else. I love the cliamate - not too hot (ok most of the time) and not too cold. I love all the trees. If you look out of the windows of any highrise in Atlanta, you are struck by how much green there is. I love the friendly people (even the Yankees). I love that almost all of my family (DSIL is in Florence, SC) lives within an hour drive. I love Stone Mountain (it's a wonder to behold) and now we live even closer to it. I love the GA Tech Yellow Jackets (and hate the Georgia Bulldogs) and we can zip down to the campus anytime we want. I love the Varsity restraunt (Chili dogs and onion rings ). And I love that DH has lived within about a 10 mile radius all his life. We are third generation at our church. Those are roots that run deep.

What I love most about where I live is that I have the best of both worlds. I live in the country with a big yard, lots of trees, and a quiet, safe neighborhood. But, my little town is almost dead center between Harrisburg, PA and Baltimore, MD. So, anytime I want city life, it is a quick drive to almost anywhere. Though since I work in a city environment, I find myself almost never wanting to go to the city. The only time I usually go is during football season as we hold season tickets for the Raven games. Though since I am a Steeler fan, I wouldn't mind missing most of those to stay home and watch my team on TV. But, DF wouldn't hear of it as he is a Baltimore fan from way back in the Colt days.

I love the fact that I can visit Disney whenever I want.

I love the small town feel of Owensboro, raising my daughter in a very safe place. The changing of the seasons is reassuring to me as well as breathtaking at times. Lush greens, autumn oranges and golds, crisp winter air, sometimes snow (I'm always wishing for more snow.), and sunny summers. We can also get to some bigger cities without too much travel time. I love where I work and the sense of family that my fellow teachers and students share. We don't have all the "stuff", but we have a sense of community and values.

[D&G Miller]

We love the fifty degree's and raining/cloudy weather veryday (sorry everyone is pretty sarcastic about our weather lately). Actually we love the nature that can be found in Wisconsin. We have the ability to see both a sunrise and sunset over the water that is on par with Key West (IMHO). We also have many wonderful state and federal parks that have preserved the natural beauty of the state.

<font color="green">DopeyGirl and Taswira, nice to meet you!
It's not often that you meet native San Diegans.
As they said there are too many wonderful things to say about my hometown, San Diego, but I'll just throw a couple out that I had the pleasure of enjoying today that DopeyGirl and Taswira probably haven't had the pleasure to visit.

San Diego Bay now is the new home of the USS Midway.

HMS Surprise from Master and Commander, is a new edition to the Maritime Museum.
I was very surprised to learn exactly where the restroom was located on the ship.

I'm with you FanOfMickey! I HATE where I live. The only things I like about where I live are my house and my next door neighbor. DH and I have been looking at houses in small towns in the area but it still may be a few years before we can sell and move. I hate the fact that we live in the cultural wasteland of the midwest. The only thing that will sell out in this town is WWF and the Monster Truck show. (not that there is anything wrong with either of those, just not for me or something I consider family entertainment) My biggest concern is being able to let DD go out in the front yard without the fear of her being shot in a crack deal going bad from the house two doors down.
Other than that, I guess it isn't all that bad.

Weather,Weather,Weather! When I read about the weather out there it seems crazy to me. Snow in June? High humidity is awful. We can only tolerate it for about two weeks while on vacation. Also We live 20 miles from downtown LA, 13 miles to Disneyland, 10 miles to the beach,45 miles to the snow capped mountains,60 miles to the desert. There is always something to do here.
