Austin is very Busy................but it's a whole lot of FUN. Music of every Genre you can think of and some really unique resturants. If you ever get a chance to visit.........don't hesitate. I'm not trying to sound partial either, thats just the way it is.

I'm envious of you guys...it sounds like MOST of you live in wonderful communities that you love.

I have lived here for 25 years and the ONLY reason I stay is because I'm married. I never knew I could detest an area as much as I do this one.....

the people, the attitudes about EVERYTHING, the hostility toward life and creativity just snuffs my very being.

Some day.
I will move away some day. :)
THIS is NOT forever....at least that's what I tell myself. :D

what town?
 
We live in the country in the mountains.
Soooooo... "quiet" would describe it.
But for excitement, once a week we go to town to check the mail and get gas and groceries (1 place for each of those).

I live in Launceston, Tasmania's Garden City. Many lovely parks and the spectacular and natural Caract Gorge only a few minutes walk from the City Centre. Well know for excellence in dining and has a world renown brewing company as well as many boutique vineyards in the district making a variety of high quality wines.

Then of course there are the people, known for friendliness and hospitality...................

I live in Pa. Dutch country! We go cow tipping for major giggles......but one can only take so much fun so we save that for when we are really bored!

I have to travel 2 miles in any direction just to get a pack of gum.....(I'm not gonna tell ya how far we have to go for a pair of underwear....but it's much further!)....but this way I get to eye up the cows in the pastures.........so it isn't a wasted trip!

People round here talk backwards........like, "Throw mamma down the steps....(pregnant pause)....her purse"......or, Toss the cow over the fence....(pregnant pause).....some hay". It took me a long time to learn to wait out the pauses before I panicked as to instructions! Now I prolly fit right in.........(pause)........NOT!

I was born in Camden, N.J. (southern N.J. ya'll....lol!)........and I usually refer to that as the "pimple on the asshole of the world".........so maybe I'm a bit upscale from that now! I do know I wouldn't want to live in a big city though....so I guess I'm where I wanna be!

My ancestors came to Cleveland because when they got to New York, they loved the crime and poverty, it just wasn’t cold enough.

CunningLinguist 01-19-2004 10:37 AM

An overgrown jungle chocking on the toxic fumes of local industry. We are only 30 minutes away form the asshole of America, Louisiana.

Scarecrow 01-19-2004 08:06 PM

Lixy, I live on the edge of Illinois Amish country. Just hold your nose when passing this way.

osuche 01-19-2004 09:24 PM

I live in what used to be the 7th fattest city in the US. Now I think it's #11. But either way, people like things BIG here -- big cars, big asses, big meals, big tummies, big desserts, big hips...

And the list just keeps on getting bigger...

dancingrugger 01-20-2004 12:35 AM

Glen Burnie ... Combining Redneck and Ghetto in ways never intended by mother nature. Its a sight, thats for sure. My neighborhood is actually almost exactly the geographic center of the triangle formed between Washington DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis though, so thats cool beans.

pyrokittie 01-20-2004 12:43 AM

"...and now, for only $5.50 at walmart you can get 2 episodes of the andy griffith show on dvd..."

Boring---It's near alot of more lively places,so that's good.Our
personal property,is quite large,so we really don't go that many
places.When you get older,you don't go for the "limelight"as much
Irish
P.S.As an old friend,once said to me,"When we were younger,we
had a reputation,of being real"bad-asses"Now no-one knows us,
& we have enough sense,not to do the crazy,things that we used
to do!"He was right!It's nice to just stay in the "boonies"now.It's
also nice to awnser the phone here,without wondering,what the
cops said you did now!

vampeyes 01-20-2004 10:29 PM

I live 20 miles past the edge of the earth!!! better known as Watertown, SD. The entire state has around 750,000 people so its less than the city of Detroit...
