Are you proud and happy about where you live?

This is one of the great things about Pittsburgh. I love going to the Strip. It is so much fun.

YES! I do want to move somewhere warmer when I'm older, but right now I LOVE :love: living in Columbus, Ohio!!!!:thumbsup2 :cool1: Our Zoo is AWESOME!!!! There's so much to do here and we are not far from Cleveland (where I grew up) and Cincinnati. In the summer we take the kids down to King's Island and up to Cedar Point (our absolute FAVORITE Amusement Park....the coasters ROCK!!!!)

[Nooshkin]

I live in a suburb of Chicago. I love taking visitors to Chicago. I think it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world! I love being on the lakefront, looking back at the skyline-gorgeous!

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Not really it is kind of boring here in Delaware. We are in the process of trying to move to Palm Bay Florida (about an hour or so south of the parks). I loved the area and my husband got a pretty good job offer down there. Nothing special about my area except tax free shopping. We have local things to do but nothing out of the ordinary.

[cdfl30]

I live in Northeast Florida and I love living near so many beautiful beaches and state parks. I also enjoy living so close to St. Augustine, a town full of history and charm.

However... about this time of year I always wish I lived somewhere a little farther north where the air is cooler and where the hurricanes don't visit! :umbrella:

[UrsulasShadow]

Meh...it has its good, it has its bad.

Good:
proximity to Boston and Cape Cod
close to ocean
close to mountains
lots of great colleges and universities
lots of history
best weather in the world

Bad:
Taxes
Cost of living
worst weather in the world

Kim,
I love going to the Strip too....and the South Side...and the Waterfront...and Shadyside...and the Cultural District...I just wish the winters were a bit warmer!

Great article, thanks for the link.

Clarksville is a northern suburb of Louisville KY - Home of the Kentucky Derby and the Louisville Slugger and Derby Pie. Girl Scout Cookies are baked here also. Referred to as Kentuckiana Region (ky & indiana)

Not the best place to live if you have Allergies due to the Ohio River Valley.

I live 15 miles from Pittsburgh in New Ken!:wave:

[Madi100]

Well, I think that if someone said, "Want to move to Iowa?" there aren't too many people who are going to say yes. But, we enjoy it. There is nothing great here. It absolutely amazes me when someone moves here from a different part of the country. Besides for a job, why??? Our children get a great education, and I feel fairly safe. But, I don't think I'd ever encourage anyone to move to my town.

[SamSam]

Ahhhhh, Kansas. I love it here. Wide open spaces, friendly people, self-sufficient people, caring/sharing people, old-fashioned values(mostly), good work ethics AND we're just a plane ride away from many, many places. :goodvibes

[disneyholic family]

yes i love living here ...
i think about that all the time...
how lovely it is...
it's beautiful, great weather, wonderful people, good friends, no end of things to do - whatever your interests...

i could go on and on and on and on and on.....

the only thing missing? WDW :sad1: ...
but everything else you could wish for...:cloud9:

[safetymom]

I love Florida but I sure do miss the Strip district. Going to Wholey's, Benkovitz for a fish sandwich, Primanti's. Penn Mac and a host of other stores.

Some of the railroad buildings used to sell damaged groceries. My kids called them the dirty window stores.

The Strip is a gem in Pgh. When we visit Pgh that is one of the first places I head.

[wishspirit]

Depends, i live in 2 different places depending what time of the year you catch me!

At the moment, i like it. Beautiful historic city, 20 minutes away from London by train (if National Rail actually get you there on time!), some of the highest house prices in England, whats not to love! The only problem is you really need a car to be able to enjoy it as our public transport is so poor!

The other half of the year, its only a 1 hour and a half to get to London, but its a nice city itself. Pebble beach, loads of students, and again very expensive to live there!

I wish i could live somewhere warmer, we haven't really had a summer this year! :confused3

[SGB13]

Every day on the way home from work, I drive across the river. I see the sun shining down or starting to set and think I will never move out of this town. :goodvibes

[NOVATraveler]

Just outside Washington, DC, here. I love the Sovreign State of Virginia, so when I'm able to move a little farther away from all this traffic, it will probably be to southwest Virginia. For now, it is fun to live so close to all the action, the museums, and all that hot air coming from Capitol Hill.

[Racey]

I love my house and it's road ... .but HATE living in England as a whole

the public (well, those who are working for a living) are getting screwed over BIG TIME at the moment.

We want to get nice things but the government are always putting obstacle in the way and it's always to do with getting more money out of you. For example, i've worked hard and tried to save hard to get the car i've always dreamed of, but I cant now because it would cost me £400 just to get road tax a year. You then have to take into account the fuel which is absolutely rediculous and general upkeep (it's a silly price just to have a service nowdays) and the list goes on.

The government have their morals all in the wrong place. They want to look good to other countries by helping out etc, but in the mean time we, the british citizen are getting dumped upon. And the politicians dont care because they are earning silly money and getting 0% loans from the tax payers money to get the things they want (if they even need a loan that is). I know every country's government has there good and bad points, but ours just seem to tax everything just to get more money out of us ... and of course our wages rises each year dont cover the extra tax they lay upon us (thats if we even get a rise)

Then you have to look at the people living around you. Im fortunate that my road has lovely people in it, but to get to my road you go through a part of the estate where the residents dont give 2 hoots about their state of living. Everything is cramped and no-one cares about leaving rubbish on the sidewalk for a whole week, and when cats come along and eat through the plastic to get to the wasted food inside, or kids come along and kick the bag around, the original owner doesnt care.... they just leave it.

And dont even get me started on the kids in my area!!!!!!

But the negatives of this country is endless, I could write war and peace on it and still have left half of the stuff i'm not aware of out!

This sadly is the EXACT reason why myself and my fiance have decided not to have kids. the country is beyond repair and I wouldnt want to subject an innocent child to this mess!

I would love to move, but the way our economy is going we wouldnt even get enuogh money together to pay our house off (unfortuantely we bought when the prices were at their highest!), let alone have enough to start somewhere else:guilty:

[wishspirit]

Wow, ok i don't hate England that much!

Look on the sunny side, things could be worse! We don't have hurricanes. Thats a plus! And a National Health Service, and its kinda sunny today.

Its still cold, but kinda sunny!

[Crystal824]

I live near Pittsburgh too. It is a good place to live. I do often miss N.C., which is where I am from orginally.

[moonpie85]

I'm very proud of Texas. However I can't stand South Texas which is where we currently are. Not happy or proud to be here.

[Racey]

:laughing: after writing such a depressive post, your reply did make me giggle, so thank you.

I know it's not the goverments fault about the weather, but that drespresses me too - how long has our summer been this year???? I work in an enclosed office so I dont see the sun during the day at all :sad:

I would have also agreed about the health service ..... until I saw the news about the abuse some patients are receiving, and also have first hand experience of the disgusting treatment some people receive from these so called qualified nurses! (so I AM speaking from experience!) PLUS the nurses that work in that industry are treated and paid extremely poorly, so no wonder they are lazy. And it doesnt help that some of the nasty people they have to deal with who are drunk or abusive is disgusting (altho i'm sure this is the case the world over!). However, it is free and i've never had a complaint when it comes to ambulances - those guys are ALWAYS great

I DO agree with the statement about Hurricanes tho:rotfl:

I will definitely be leaving the UK the first chance I get. Im only 30 and even I have seen how bad this country is deteriorating .... I think thats really bad!

[SamIAm21]

I also live just south of Chicago in a burb near Joliet. It's a very nice place to live. The winters are a bit depressing here, but we make up for it all summer long. This has been a very nice summer too, I must say. We are close to all of Chicago's amenities (museums, theater, parks, festivals), but I live in a still rural-ish area with the suburbs quickly encroaching.

When I wake up in the morning, I can look out the window and see horses in the field out back and every day the geese fly over moving from the pond nearby to the fields. I have good neighbors, but most of them are empty nesters now and there are few young families with kids.

When I retire though, I'm heading straight for Florida. Hurricane's-smuricanes! I want to visit the Mouse House as often as humanly possible. :laughing:

[Becx N Gav]

Racey, you are not the only one who is sick of rip off Britain (we're not teaming up I promise ;) )

I live in a fairly nice area (suburbia) Northampton - famous for Dr Marten shoes and boots and the Spencer Family (Princess Diana). But it has gone down hill, I alway notice the trash on the sides of the roads (country lanes as well as highways), the number of rude/ignorant drivers, the constant 'nanny state', the lack of help for poor people trying to get out of bad situations, the weather - I could go on:rotfl:

I have to say I think I was born in the wrong country, I totally appreciate my affluent (not rich but not poverty stricken) background, I count my blessings that I have good parents, education etc. . But when I first went to the USA (going to a summer camp in Vermont, so not a vacation - almost real life) I just felt so at home (I'd never felt that before). Everywhere I've been in America I've felt that way, I could understand if it was a two week vacation where lifes stresses don't come into play, but working at the camp was sometimes quite stressful and certainly not a holiday.

I would love to move countries, but I am hoping it's not the grass is always greener situation and I'll be just as miserable in Oz or NZ (about the only two english speaking countries that we could move to)

Ho hum, life goes and despite the rant I do make the best of things and look at the bright side of life :rolleyes1 but sometimes you just want a break from the downward spiral this country seems to be going in.

Roll on WDW Dec...............

[lilmrsellis]

I'm extremely proud of where I'm from. Almost Heaven. The Mountain State. West "By God" Virginia. Whatever you call it, West Virginia is honestly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life.

[calypso*a*go-go]

I live in Vancouver, WA which is right across the Columbia River from Portland, OR. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever lived. Yes, we do have a lot of rain in the late winter/early spring -- but the rest of the year is just perfect. No state tax in WA, and no sales tax in OR...so I have the best of both worlds. :goodvibes

[flyingcat2003]

Hate it here!! 45 miles south of Atlanta

:) Pros: mild winters
my favorite restaurant is here
reasonable cost of living



:sad1: Cons: land locked ( I love the beach)
I only have one favorite restaurant here
awful traffic in the Atlanta area
have to go to Atlanta metro area to shop if you need more than
local walmart provides



Hope to move to Florida one day!:goodvibes

Another Iowan here, and while I'm proud to be an Iowa (born and raised), I can understand why people don't want to live here. I just turned 30, and I think I'm going to move within the next year, just to try something new. While I love the people here, and the Hawkeyes, there isn't much else to keep a person around this area.

[zulemara]

my area is known for
the "freezer woman"
multiple drownings in the river
the world's largest 6 pack
the world record for most bars on one street


all in all, I hate it here. I'm moving to Orlando in January!

[SamIAm21]

I've been there!! In my crazy and wild youth, I drove from Chicago to Vancouver, WA for a wedding. Left on Thursday a.m. arrived there Friday about 7:00 p.m. Left again on Sunday morning (after wedding on Saturday) and was home by Monday evening. It was BEAUTIFUL, what I saw of it!!

:rotfl:

[abish19]

I honestly feel that I live in one of the most beautiful, and least heralded, parts of the world.

I live in Muskegon, Michigan, 5 miles from Lake Michigan, on a small peninsula bordered by Lake Michigan and two smaller lakes. It's green and lush, and the beaches have "sugar sand" which is much softer than ocean sand. Additionally, the fresh water doesn't sting your eyes, and there are very few things that can come out of the water to kill you. My immediate neighborhood is very safe and very beautiful, with a few enormous, multi-million dollar homes, but mostly with more modest dwellings that are lovingly cared for. We have block parties and football rallies, and I know someone on every block. I walk at night in safety, and can leave the doors unlocked without fear. We're about a 4 hour drive from either Detroit or Chicago, and just a few hours from Mackinaw Island and the U.P.

To me, no matter what "fairer lands may lie beneath alien skies", there's no place like home!

That being said - Disney World's my second choice. And I can never wait to get back there.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Mornington Peninsula, but that's rather a big move for me! :) Might make a great vacation.

[kab407]

I live in Central NJ, one of the most densely populated areas of the US. Our property taxes are some of the highest in the nation along with car insurance. Cost of living is, simply put, expensive. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

I can be in New York City under an hour.
I sail on the Hudson River looking at the most stunning skyline in the world.
I am at the beach in 40 minutes.
I am in the mountains in an hour.
I am 20 minutes from the airport that gets me anywhere in the world.
I can find just about any type of cuisine the world has to offer within a 25 mile radius.
Pete has an accent? What accent?
We drive fast and talk fast. Get over it and get out of my way! :lmao:

I get asked a lot if I would transfer to the Atlanta area for work. Yea, right.:scared1:

[Madi100]

While I love the people here, and the Hawkeyes, there isn't much else to keep a person around this area.

We've lived all over the state getting transferred with DH's job. I grew up by Des Moines, and we'd really like to get back to that. Iowa is kind of slow paced. We visit Chicago and Minneapolis, and they are definitely not for me. I love what Iowa has to offer for my family. It's a great place to raise a family. We thoroughly enjoy our life in Iowa. But, still I don't understand why a person would ever move here. There's not much here to appeal to an outsider, besides the slow, easy going lifestyle. Now I've made us sound like country bumpkins.

[luna99]

I'm very proud of Texas. However I can't stand South Texas which is where we currently are. Not happy or proud to be here.

I'd like to hear what you don't like about south texas.

I currently live in Central New York and while I really disliked it when I moved here it's growing on me a little. I still do not like the winters though at all but the summers are really nice.

I am a Texan though and I miss Texas... I was living in Austin, Texas before I moved here and in my opinion Austin is the best city ever!

I miss that friendlyness in the UK

[brandylouwho]

Neenah, WI--I love the Fox Cities as whole.

*I love our generally good public schools
*I love having 4 seasons, although in the dead of winter I think about moving some place warmer, then I remember I hate being all hot & sweaty too. Just can't please me. :goodvibes
* I love where we currently live, Doty Island, an old area (as opposed to a new subdivision) and while I may not be in one of the lakefront mansions, our modest home is just a stone's throw from several parks, Lake Winnebago, the Fox River, my children's future elementary school, a good hospital (including children's hospital facilities)
* I love our little downtown area, the library system, the park system, the farmer's market & concerts in the park series.
* no real rush hour traffic
* in nearby Appleton we enjoy a great Performing Arts Center, Children's Museum, and what I think is the best shopping outside of Milwaukee/Madison (I was shocked to find out people from all over northern WI & the UP actually come to Appleton for shopping).


I hate very few things, such as the depths of winter and how the Packers seem to be the lead story every flippin' night on the Green Bay news (although I do think it is cool that so many people from so many walks of life can rally together over something, even if it is as silly as football).

My husband and I live an hour or two from where we grew up--close enough to easily drive to see the family, far enough to stay out of their day to day crap. :lmao:

I feel like we have a hint of big city facilities, but still retain that small town charm. The best of both worlds!

[Cruz Family]

I am not so happy with the exact city we live and the ultra liberal politics of Massachusetts BUT........we are 30 mins. from Boston and the ocean, a few hours to NYC. We have all 4 beautiful seasons I couldn't live without. The best seafood in the world, Oh did I mention the RED SOX, PATRIOTS, and CELTICS????

[hanco005]

We live about 25 mins north of the Twin Cities and it's great....other the long cold winters...and short luke-warm summers...and collapsing bridges...and the RNC traffic.

I grew up in Stone Mountain, GA and moved here to go to grad school. I met my wife and now live here as a result of her family being here. Loves make you do crazy things....

[cccm]

Meh...it has its good, it has its bad.

Good:
proximity to Boston and Cape Cod
close to ocean
close to mountains
lots of great colleges and universities
lots of history
best weather in the world

Bad:
Taxes
Cost of living
worst weather in the world

What Mindy said and a few of my own

Good:
Red Sox and Paw Sox are same distance away
four seasons
about an hour from 3 or 4 other states (depending on the driving):rolleyes1
great restaurants

Bad:
ice cream stands that close in the winter

[Lavender_Blue]

I live 15 minutes away from Animal Kingdom where my fiancee works (and where I'll hopefully be working if my interview goes good).

Florida is nice, it has its parts that remind me of home sweet home in Texas. The weather's about the same (except it rains more here than it did in Tejas). The taxes is supposed to be better than when I lived in California a few months ago (I already know the cost of living is better). I love being close to the magic and being able to visit the park every week if I wanted to. I love that when my fiancee had a birthday I was able to take him to a Disney restaurant that he liked - and likewise for my birthday we're going to see the Hallowishes fireworks from Narcoosee's. There's always something fun to do here and WDW will never get old for us because there are so many wonderful details to discover about the parks (and even outside the parks, too).

Just yesterday we went to Magic Kingdom to get some dole whips and turkey legs and go hunting for hidden Jack Skellingtons on the Haunted Mansion (very hard to do without *don'tdothis*flash photography*don'tdothis*) =P

I'm also still close to my family. My mom and dad, plus my sister with her two boys, live in Texas, and my other sister and her six kids live in Virginia...so I'm pretty much in the middle. It wasn't like that when I lived in California.

I guess the thing I don't like is that it can be very hard to find a job. And it has been.

[BarbieGal457]

I live in South Philadelphia, and I love it! By subway I am only 10 minutes from shopping and my job, 15 from college, and less than 2 from the sports arenas. I can actually walk there - they're practically in my backyard. The beach, including Atlantic City, and the mountains are only an hour or so away, and we have 4 distinct seasons. We also have Rocky :love: and sports teams that love to break our hearts. The shopping and style here are amazing, and I really enjoy the closeness of my little community, and never feel unsafe (at least in my little neighborhood). We have great water ice and soft pretzels, and it's not that long of a drive to NYC (about 2 hours or so, depending on traffic and who's driving ;) ). My family has all stayed in the same area, and it's so nice to be able to walk 2 minutes to see my six-week-old twin nephews.

That said, I'd love to move to either Florida or Texas, or maybe even Brooklyn in a few years when I'm older and settling into life, since I'm a college junior currently. I am definitely a four-seasons-of-hot-weather girl!

that is exactly every reason why I'm moving to Orlando.

[DSNY4ever]

Yup, I love it. It is a little too hot for my taste, but everything else is pretty wonderful. I am just about an hour from Lake Tahoe and when I get to lay around on a weekend with my toes in the beautiful water- I know I am in heaven!

[moonpie85]

I'd like to hear what you don't like about south texas.

I currently live in Central New York and while I really disliked it when I moved here it's growing on me a little. I still do not like the winters though at all but the summers are really nice.

I am a Texan though and I miss Texas... I was living in Austin, Texas before I moved here and in my opinion Austin is the best city ever!

The part we live in is full of crime (not our neighborhood but the surrounding cities) gang problems, drug cartels, and just very dirty in general. I'm sure there are ok cities in South Texas but none around were we are.

[halliesmommy01]

Yes I love living where I do. I live in a small town an hour south of St Louis Missouri. I work in the city. I love that I know my neighbors and we help each other out when we can. I love that I can see baseball, football and hockey. We have one of the best zoos(and it's free) in the country. Plus a few other museums. I was born and raised in the same general area. I also love gooey butter cake! I love that I can live in a small town but have a bigger city close by.

Yes Austin is very nice (other than the traffic) but we're several hours south of there.

[soupy11]

I live in Waterloo Ontario.

We are a short drive to Toronto, I can be downtown in under an hour if traffic agrees. Waterloo is very progressive with a big tech industry...we have big names such as RIM, Google, etc. in the area that provide a lot of growth. I live about 5 minutes from two really great universities, so we have a lot of arts and leisure activities. The area is relatively crime free, and very very clean. 8 minutes north of us is one of the largest markets in the area, with fresh produce, meats, arts, crafts etc. This is the St Jacobs market and it draws on the large Mennonite population in the area.

[Racey]

So...tell us all how you really feel....:)

:rotfl: as you can tell I feel quite emotional about it

I noticed something else on the way home today. There was 3 massive Ireland flags outside a pub, and a Muslim Flag flying high in one of the heavy populated muslim areas. Yet last christmas one of the local councils said they were not going to put up the St George flag on the local council building for fear of offending people:confused3

One thing you cant take away from you Americans and that is how proud of your flag you are and what it stands for - I just wish we were more like that

[Abharmagic]

Pittsburgh transplant here- grew up in New England and long to be back there all the time. Pittsburgh's OK- but my heart's still up North.

[Torontogal]

I am from Toronto - a suburb west of it.
I love Canada but really hate the Canadian winters. I hate snow, cold, ice and the feeling like my nose is about to fall off. We get a lot of sunshine in Toronto which is a great thing.
I have been to Pittsburgh and love shopping there. It is a very pretty city.
I also should say that I am very impressed with American politics - it is so exciting compared to Canadian politics which is BORING. I am so impressed with Obama....

[Mickey_Man]

I live in central CT and while on a day to day basis I probably would complain about it, it has many positives. In about 2 hours or less, I can go to:

-A Broadway Play or anything else the greatest city in the world has to offer
-The beach
-Historic Boston, which outside of its baseball team is actually a good place!
-Skiing in the mountains
-the outdoors for hiking, camping, kayaking, etc.
-dozens of golf courses
-the mansions of Newport
-CapeCod and see UrsulaShadow and all the other offerings of that area
-get Frozen Lemonade


CT has a great education system as a whole, is one of the highest educated states in the country (maybe #1), has open-minded people (mostly), gets all four seasons but none too extreme and most of my family lives here.

Negatives:

No real identity - we are always "half way between NY and Boston"
high taxes
we lost the Whalers :sad2:
the close minded people are really vocal
most of my family lives here :lmao:

[burberryplaid]

I'm in the so-so crowd

I love Boston. It's a great town and the fall and spring can be quite lovely. I love the history of Boston. I love being close to the ocean and not far away from the "mountains" (Don't think they really qualify as mountains. I grew up in Colorado and what they have out here are more like hills)

I hate the amount of taxes we have and the cost of living. A $400,000 home here would be $100,00 in other cities in the US. People are also pretty cold and it's hard to make friends. I don't think the school system in MA is great. When we have children they'll likely have to go to private or Catholic school ($$ Kaching $$)

Ideally, I'd love to move to Orlando, Austin, TX, somewhere in southern or central NH, or back to Colorado but I don't know if we'll make the jump.

[Becx N Gav]

I hate the amount of taxes we have and the cost of living. A $400,000 home here would be $100,00 in other cities in the US.

In the UK you could barely get a house for $100,000 (about £60,000) even with house prices falling!

[Boardwalker]

Well, am I proud of living in NY's Capital District?
I am not sure. I have thought about migrating to the warm sunny south, but something always gets in the way.
Every January, I am too hung over from New Year's Eve to pack.
Every February, it is too cold and icy to leave the house.
Every March, well there is no point leaving before St Patrick's Day and then I am too hung over to pack again.
Come April, it is too muddy to get out of the driveway.
Come May, the bugs are too thick to make it to the car without need of transfusions.
Come June, the rains (that everybody else get in April to bring the May flowers) make driving tough.
In July, the thunderstorms usually drop trees across the driveway.
I never have enough money left in August to leave because the track is open in Saratoga....
September brings Indian Ladder Farms cider donuts... no way will I go in September.
In October, the bugs start again... and the hunters. If they would hunt the deerflies as well as deer, I might make it out.
In November, the wind from the politicians in Albany make going outside risky.
Then December, and the Christmas lights do me in. I can make it up the ladder to the roof to put the lights up, but tend to panic once I get up there and it takes several days and the Volunteer Fire Department to get me off the roof.
So I guess I am here for the duration. But I can't say that I am proud to live here, as everybody else here is almost as crazy as I am. Who can live like that?

[Bell30012]

I love my town and wouldn't want to live anywhere else... Except maybe in this castle... My town is still small enough that our sheriff personally rolls on calls, our tax assessor knows your name and the people are friendly.

[Just People]

I live in the worst area in the country, the Washington, D.C. area. The snobbiest of the snobby have all agreed to live here. The traffic is terrible, way too expensive to live here. There is absolutely nothing to do here except going to bars or restaurants. If I could find a job somewhere down south and make the same money I would move in an instant. All the Lexus moms here have such a sense of entitlement. BTW, i'm not happy about where I live. Northern Virginia blows!!!

[carelo]

Well, I'm torn. I love Colorado in the summer, I don't think there is a better place to be. It's sunny and warm without being sweltering hot and humid, and there aren't a ton of bugs. The winters on the other hand can be terrible and make me want to get the heck out. But since both DH and myself are born and raised here and our families are "pioneers" (our families have lived in Colorado for 100 years) I don't think we'll be leaving any time soon.

[Cool-Beans]

Nope! I've lived here my whole life and I know the city and suburbs very well. Most of my friends and family are here. Cedar Point is close.

Other than that, there is nothing great about Cleveland. It wasn't that great a city to begin with and is dying quickly.

Plus, in the immortal words of Jimmy Buffett, "I want to go where it's warm."

[JCandKT]

I grew up in Central Massachusetts (Worcester, Westborough, Clinton, Framingham State College) and of course loved being in New England with the seasons. I've skiied since I was about 4 years old. Loved being able to drive an hour to Hampton Beach, NH (before it went downhill!) or to the White Mountains or to Cape Cod or just a few hours to NYC.

I moved to Indianapolis when I was 19 and have lived here for the past 9 years (9 years, really!??!? where does the time go). I LOVE it here. The people are SO nice and friendly. My city is clean and safe. (of course there is crime everywhere but there's something about being able to walk downtown, alone, as a woman and not be terrified)

JC and I live just north of Butler University in a beautiful area --- homes that have character and neighbors that care for one another. We're 8 minutes from downtown Indianapolis where there's is always something going on. (Go Colts!) It's a big city, with a small-town feel. I dig it.

[The Grumpus]

Worcester representin'!

I live in the middle of no where, yet near a lot. The nice part is that I'm 1 hour from Boston, Hartford, Providence, Nashua/Manchester, Springfield, so I can always go somewhere new.

There's mountains, forests, beaches, farms, farmstands, cities, education, and more all around me.

Plus, I love the weather.

[TheTXTaylors5]

:goodvibes I grew up in Plymouth, MA. Home of the Pilgrims and hoards of tourists during the summer and Thanksgiving. I am now living near Dallas, Texas. There are two things I miss about living in MA . . . the Atlantic Ocean and Fall (Okay maybe three, the wonderful seafood. I miss my Maine lobster and yummy scallops. A lot of places around here serve Australian lobster. IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!!). We have the lovely Gulf of Mexico on the coast of Texas. Can you say brown water and rocky beaches. :headache: We have been known to wear shorts on Christmas Day. I don't remember doing that in MA. So, not shoveling snow has been a BIG plus.

:thumbsup2 Living in Texas has been fantastic. I met the love of my life here (Yankee fell in love with a Rebel. :scared1:) The seasons are kind of muted, except for summer. :cool2: Which is VERY hot. But, that's why we have our own pool. ;) I've found the people here very friendly and inviting. However, driving can be very hazardous to your health. Most people I know have been in an accident, the other driver did NOT have insurance. It's pretty common here. The housing market is still pretty solid considering the decline in other parts of the country. You could get a four bedroom home with 2 1/2 baths from the low $150's and still have it in a middle-class neighborhood. Not too bad. The schools are just "okay". That is probably my only main concern. Last year, we brought our DS8 home and started to homeschool him. Texas Educators just aren't getting the job done to educate the child for the real world and to prepare them for higher education. They are teaching to have them pass a test and they even stopped allowing teachers to fail students in the Dallas ISD. Can you believe that? We don't live in Dallas proper. Thank goodness! This year, we put our children on the waiting list for a Charter School. DD5 got in and DS8 is still on the waiting list. So, we are keeping our fingers crossed for him. Until then, we will homeschool him.

:thumbsup2 I've also lived in Northern Virginia (worked in DC) for two years and couldn't agree more with the person about the snooty people living there. However, there is a lot of culture and things to do. I do miss working in our Nation's Capital, just not the bums and elitists (What a combo! :rotfl:).

I did spend almost a year in Little Rock, Arkansas. We won't talk about that. :rolleyes1

I was lucky enough to live in Europe (Brussels, Belgium) for four years too. That really can't compare to any of the places I've lived in the states. However, there's "no place like home". :goodvibes

:surfweb: Jennifer

:love: MA will always have a special place in my heart. :love: But, Texas is my new "home".

I live in Chicago & am just biding my time until I can move. I hate the winter, and I don't care what anyone says, the summers are way more humid than in Florida. I work in the "lovely" Michigan Ave area with a lakeview office that most would kill for, you can have it. Especially when the lake freezes over and the sky is the color of Eeyore.

The things about Chicago that I am proud of are our senators :yay: and our ethinic diversity. For the most part we all play well together in the sandbox here.

[disneygal2007]

I don't like to use this word. But I HATE where we live. We are military and we are stuck here. Four years to long. But the only up part was we are only 7 hours from SA. TX. family there. And driving distance to the World. But man do I wish we could just move like normal people.

[Stitchfans]

I wish with all my heart we could move somewhere warmer with a slower pace. I am tired of this fast hectic pace and freezing to death nearly 9 months out of the year. I've been begging DH for us to move to Oklahoma closer to oldest DD but he won't even think about it. :sad1:

I llive in the armpit of America......Cleveland Ohio. See I'm from Mystic/Groton, CT and I miss it so. When my dad (career Navy submariner) retired he brought us back to Cleveland where him and my Mom grew up. I have been trying to get back to CT ever since. DH has finally seen the error in his ways about Ohio, he's been laid off since March (commercial electrician). So we are planning on moving east where there are jobs, seafood, history, the ocean and my beloved Patriots. Only two good things about Cleveland- my beloved Tribe (loved um since I was a baby) and meeting DH.

[Livi'sMom]

I love our town! We live west of Akron and south of Cleveland. Our town of 23000 is beautiful, the schools are great and living is affordable. Best of all it's easy to take advantage of the highlights of Cleveland, Akron, or even Columbus easily.

Cleveland has the largest theater district outside of NYC. Lots of museums, the zoo, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, professional sports and great restaurants. Akron has some great concert venues, the best minor league field and quite a few other hidden gems. The Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area stretches between the two cities and offers just a gorgeous national park for 4 season enjoyment.

Columbus is just a little over an hour away.... and there's always something going on there!

I love that we do have 4 distinct seasons. The leaves are starting to turn here and there and I can't wait to see them in full color.

If I can't live in WDW then I'll stay right where I'm at!

[mjtm610]

I love living in Chicago!! I have lived here (officially) all my life. I did spend ALOT of my growing up years in Winter Park, Fl, just North of WDW.
Chicago has everything you could ask for.
4seasons
a beautiful, accessible lake
world class shopping
cultural events
the best selection of wonderful resturants
wonderful people with mid-western values
jobs
the best medical care facilities in the world
a transportation system that can get you anywhere in the world
and me!

[wendy darling]

I was born and raised in Houston, TX, and I love living here!! my family is here my friends are here, and although I have moved away for the WDW in Orlando twice for a total of about 9 months I would never dream of moving away permantely. I love the weather (although I can live without it in the summer). My mom always says that you don't have to shovel heat. I have never lived where it snows, but I can only imagine that it is beautiful but it would be a pain to have to shovel it!!

so yes, I am very PROUD to be a texan!!

[magicmouse2]

No. I live in North of England UK and it is a very cold wet and dismal place to live. This summer in particular it has rained almost every day ALL day. There is also not a lot to do for kids and young people here. As soon as kids hit 18 (or look 18) they start hitting the town centre pubs and nightclubs, which really is all the area has much of.
There is no sense of community here. When I visit Florida I feel that I am 'home'. Its not just about Disney, its the climate, the area, people etc.

I live in Erie, PA. I hate it here in the winter but I love the other three seasons. The summer is great because we have Presque Isle and the lake and lot's of festivals. I'm also only 1 1/2 hours from Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Cost of living is low. Unfortunatly the lake that is great in the summer also brings lake effect snow in the winter.

[simonkodousek]

I've lived the entire 14 years of my life in Wisconsin. While it isn't warm here every day of the year, I've grown to like the change of seasons. My ideal place to live would be Las Vegas, not only because of the nonstop party scene, 5-star resorts and casinos, and world-class restaurants, but because of the climate. I really prefer Vegas heat to Orlando heat because as much as I love going to WDW, I cannot stand the humidity in FL. :)

[aGoofyMom]

What do I love most about where I live? DH was born and raised here - this is where I found him. Seriously - this man has not budged out of the town he was born in - even though our City now encompasses 3 former towns. Shhh! Don't tell the residents - they pretend the City was not formed more than 25 years ago just to mess up us newbies! - we have 3 separate downtowns which add up to not one main drag!

I moved around southwestern Ontario a bit growing up. I love this part of the world. I can be at a beach in an hour. (Clean beach with gorgeous sunsets in about 3 hours)

Our weather isn't that bad - we get some great amounts of sun, half my height or more of snow in the winter, great fall colours...

If you want arts & culture - it's there. If you want sports...it's a short drive...if you want the Redneck Summer Games - you have to go a little north.

I guess I love it because I feel like I am home here. There is only one other place in the world where I get that feeling...DH says the Florida office is a possibility...:rolleyes1

Did you say $6,000,000?! :eek:

The median home price in our general area is $322,300, however it is more like $450,000-$650,000 in the 1 square mile village we live in, and I thought that was high for a home ~45 minutes from Milwaukee! The most expensive piece of residential property I have seen in the village is $1,300,000 for a 1-acre piece of lakefront land... not including the house!! :scared1:

Living near San Francisco, a 45 minute drive to the ocean, 3 hours to Lake Tahoe for snow skiing, Napa wine country a few hours north, and a diverse community of people, it is all good. Having been born and raised here the cost of living and earthquakes are all just part of life in California. I’m very lucky to work in the high tech part of Silicon Valley so it is all good. You can see and do so much in the general area. People evidently leave their hearts in San Francisco, but the tourists also leave many other things. If you don’t know the way to San Jose, just check out the song by Dionne Warwick.

Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’ve been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’m going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

LA. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

Do you know the way to San Jose?
They’ve got a lot of space. there’lll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I’m going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

Fame and fortune is a magnet.
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart your never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away

I’ve got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can’t wait to get back to San Jose.

Home is Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.
About 30 minutes north of Toronto.
I do believe I live in the best Province, but Baniff, Alberta is nice.
There's not much I like about it. Boring and crowded.
If I could live anywhere I wanted it would be Maui on a beach somewhere or
Frorida. However that being said a small town not to far from WDW would be great.
Now if you can get that for me, lets talk immagration.
If immagration can be handled Then DH needs a good paying job.
The list is growing....
Hopefully through one day we will be able to live at home or cottage from
April to end of November.
Then winter in the warmth
