Where Do You Live?, If you want to share...

Good Luck Maisky!! I've heard great things about Virginia!

"Every State has its share of depressing, life-draining, morally bankrupt towns. You're so much stronger than any of that, and you're right not to let anyone there squelch that wonderful spirit! In three months you'll be leaving them all far behind. Just please don't let them represent the rest of the State! "

True enough. Western PA is pretty depressed (I was in school at Geneva, Beaver Falls.) but even there, there are good things. Finding them (or making them) are challenges at times... Press on!

I live in a fairly small town in Wisconsin, between Appleton and Green Bay. It isn't a bad place but it's getting too big to suit me. I'm contemplating a move to Canada.

oohh. I'm jealous! Where are you thinking of going to?

Born and raised in Germany. Moved there several times.

First lived in a small town right next to Friedberg (Elvis Presley was stationed there) and after that moved to the City of Hanau (famous for the Grimm Brothers) and then lived close to Bankerparadise Frankfurt.

Then I moved to States (Fort Hood, TX). After that I lived for one year in Kansas City, Missouri and finally ended up in North Carolina. Fayetteville is a typical Military Town (Fort Bragg and Pop Air Force Base are here), so you see a lot of camouflage LOL.

Well I hope to go back to Germany soon - to at least visit with my family - it's been 7 years since I was home.

I can't believe I haven't posted here, but I went back and looked through all of the posts and sure enough, I haven't posted here. I think I started to when the thread first appeared but was distracted by work and never made it.

Anyway, I live in the Republic of Panama, in the Provincia de Herrera in a tiny town that is located about 280 kilometers (about 170 miles) west and south of Panama City. Herrera is located on a peninsula (the Peninsula de Azuero) which sticks down into the Pacific ocean. Pesé is the town I live in and has one of the three distilleries in the country. Lattitude is about 7.7° North which means it is definitley a tropical place. There are only two seasons here, the Dry season which is called summer runs roughly from late December to early April, and the wet season, which is called winter which takes up the rest of the year. Temperatures average around 32 C year round (about 90°F). This part of Panama is the area that was originally settled by the Spanish when they came and not far from here is the oldest church in the Americas at a place called Nata de Los Caballeros. This part of the country is known for its observation of traditions and folklore. Much of the popular music is a traditional form of singing called a Decimo, which has to have a specific number of lines and rythm, and festivals down here look sort of like stepping back in time several hundred years.

Explains a lot.

I hail from New Jersey about a 5 minute drive from the central Jersey Shore.

I am currenlty living in Bellevue, Washington (a suburb of Seattle) and have been here for the past four years or so. We love it here and do not see leaving anytime soon.

I worked in higher education adminstration for a number of years, so I have also hung my hat in college towns in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Utah. The mountains and skiing in Utah are incredible!

I grew up in Michigan and lived in many northern and western towns; Northport, Lake Leelanau, Kingsley, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ypsilanti and Alma (not in that order). I grew up a Michigan fan but went to grad school at State. However, my heart belongs to Alma College. Go Scots!

Hello, Dugadelphia...we're almost neighbors!

I currently live under 10 centimetres (3 inches) of snow!!!

What town? I've probably been there, at least if you have a lumber yard I did. I used to sell building materials to lumber yards, so I've been to about a third of them in Indiana.

I am from Marion, which is near Kokomo, Sweetzer, and Wabash. I'm not sure if we have a lumber yard -- we don't have much of anything.

I noticed that too RobertH, though I suspect you may have been in my vicinity more often than I have been in your's

Could be...I guess we may both have a good view if our mountain to the south pops!

Indeed we do!
