Are you proud and happy about where you live?

I've lived in Southern California my whole life, and I don't want to live anywhere else. Almost everything you could ever want is here, as long as you're willing to sit in traffic to get to it! I can also hear the Disneyland fireworks going off right now!

I love CA! So much to see and do! Beautiful place to live!
 
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.
 
Oh, please let Marvin Harrison be healthy all year. He is my main receiver on my Fantasy Football team. I also have Addai and Vinatieri.


We got last minute tickets to the Colts season opener last night against the Bears... and while they didn't win... it was awesome to go to the brand spankin' new stadium on opening night! Here are some pics! It's a beautiful stadium and Indy is hosting Superbowl 2012!

Hey guys.....We were there too !!!! :woohoo:

Game wasn't the greatest, but the "new home" looked awesome. :yay:


GO COLTS !!!!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
 

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. :)
 
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

Man! You were there! I'm surprised we didn't see eachother :laughing: not that the place is MASSIVE or anything.

I wish we would have known! Ahh well, next time, right?! Go Colts! :yay:
 
I love Aspen.:cloud9: I have lived here for 16 years. If you love the outdoors and the mountains this is the place to live.:goodvibes The economy is very good here, the summer time is awesome. Cost of living is high, and the winters can be long. I know I will move someday because I could never afford to buy a house here,(the average cost is $6,000,000) but I will stay as long as I can.

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:

Yes that is 6 MILLION

I am very lucky I have employee housing where I work.:banana: :banana: They had an article in the paper that a $5,000,000 house is a teardown now and that by 2010 the cost per square foot would be $2,500.:eek: The average house size is 3,500 - 5,000 square feet. Currently there is a house sales (I HOPE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN) for $138,000,000. That set a record in the US.

I am guessing Galt, Hespeler and Cambridge - did I win the prize? ;) Just wondering because I spent my teenage years in KW.
 
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.

Wow!
 
I live in a town called Westfield. Great town with awesome restaurants, great shopping (large retail chains and mom and pop stores) and fantastic schools. We love it hear. Downside is taxes and some snobbish people.

Didn't think it'd be a secret for long - I have noticed some "locals" around here.
Almost time for Gemutlichkeit!

You win a free dance with Oncle Hans!
 
I love where I live. :cool1: I have the best of everything right under me and I'm only a 6 hour drive to the front gates of WDW.:banana:
 
SFBayDon -


San Francisco is a gorgeous city. We visited last year and I loved it.
 
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
