I love where I live because....

the commute in Omaha is great!

I've lived other places and it took forever to get anywhere. In Omaha you can go from one side of the city to the other in 20 minutes or less, barring weather or accidents.

I was hoping people would respond like Koko and say why they love where they live. Every place has something good going for it. Except where Fade lives.

It's -40 in the winter and +40 in the summer. Fuck this place. The only upside is I have an excellent furnace and a passable air conditioner.

I do only live about a 10 minute walk from the detachment so at least I can always walk to work when I want.

I love my hometown. The weather is pretty extreme in both of our seasons Winter and Road Construction but I love it there. I hate living in the town my school is in. The roads are too narrow, you have to drive 20 miles an hour and it is full of college students. I do not like it sam i am.
My hometown is beautiful. I wish I were there.

I love where I live because of the peace and quiet.

I grew up in the Twin Cities, but as soon as I got out of college I found myself hating the place. By Tuesday I was waiting for the weekend so I could get away and visit my parents who had retired up here.

Things that are great about it:
I can walk out my front door with my dog and wander out into the woods.
I have my own garden
No sirens waking me up at night
No traffic (I'm lucky to see 5 cars on my 20 minute drive to work)
You can see so many stars at night it can make you dizzy staring at them.
I can pee off my porch and not worry about someone seeing me.

Great people, ranging from the Medieval Market cast to sword-class people to delightfully crazy RPers.
A chance of meeting people from all around the world, thanks to the University and Turku being an international port.
The feeling of living in a safe community, even though there's 175,000 people living in here.

I love where I live because it has history, and culture. (Well, for a North American city it sure has culture)

It's downsides are that it's isolated and basically impossible weather-wise, but that turns into an upside when you're away, and you can tell people how badass you are.

"You know those motherfuckers, the Vikings?"
"Yeah?"
"Well they tried to live in Newfoundland. It was too hardcore for them, so they turned around and left after one year."
"The hell you say!"
"Oh yeah." *brings them to l'Anse aux Meadows "See? Up and left, like scared little girls."
"And you've lived here ... "
"21 years, yeah."
"Truly, you are badass."

That's how it goes down.

I loved Boston and Charleston, SC. Both places I used to live. Lafayette, LA? If you like swamp, mosquitos, and giant, sprawling suburbs with nothing to do, this place is for you.

(Hey, General Specific, you can't beat the housing cost. Still some of the nicest prices in the country.)

I love my city because of the weird patchwork history, the extensive prehistory, the food, how laid back it is, the weather is fantastic. Plus all my stuff is here.

Well, that is a bit true, but I'm currently paying $685/mo. for my 800 sq ft. apartment (the one with the leak in the roof). Only reason I have not yet moved out is my job is going to move to Georgia, but the date keeps getting pushed back. We initially were going to move Q4 2009, then it was pushed back to Jan-Mar, now it is April, and I will not be surprised if April gets closer and they push it back again.

Well, I do have a communications degree with a focus in media relations, experiecne running the gammut from retail store to warehouse loader, to radio production and also on air dj work in a major metropolitan area, telecommunications and office work...and shit, even accounting. Any of that doable, since walking the earth is out of the equation.

Nashville has a fair amount of character, and not just the country music stuff. I like having all the trappings of city life, but be able to reach the country in 15 minutes. I can even hit backpacking trails in 45 minutes. Cost of living is very reasonable and the local economy didn't get hit too hard (not surprising, as health care is a big industry here).

There could be more science jobs, but I'm getting by.

A friend of mine interviewed for a job at Vanderbilt a few years ago and we hung out at the bar/restaurant/shopping area nearby. She accepted the job and moved a here a few months later and we took her downtown to celebrate. She got a huge WTF look on her face when we got amidst the skyline buildings and all the neon of lower Broadway. She had thought the little district near campus was downtown. :lol:

Lafayette's like that, too. I lived here about 8 months before I realized there was a real downtown with tall buildings and everything. The focus of the city, so to speak, has moved completely across town.

This town has my college in it, but it is by no means a college town. Its a town of yuppies, and was built very much with yuppies in mind. Tanning beds and nail salons, and pretty much nothing else.

Luckily my program is busy enough that I don't get driven insane by the envirnoment, as I spend 90% of my time chained to my desk in the studio anyway!

I enjoy Raleigh because it's a good deal warmer (15F warmer on average during Fall, Winter and Spring) than my previous homes in NY, and I hate snow. Unlike Shannow, I wanted to LEAVE Upstate NY because of the snow. I grew up in an area that got 120" of snow per year... Raleigh averages 7.5" per year.

My area is also a newly-developed upper-middle class neighborhood, with a bunch of stores and restaurants and such within a 5-minute drive. The convenience is great.

However, I find the road system where I live to suck balls. In NY, all of the stop lights were "smart lights," in which they could sense when a car is in a certain lane at the intersection, and change the lights when needed to make traffic flow more smoothly. The lights also communicated with each other to keep traffic flowing. If Raleigh had this technology installed, a 20-minute trip would only take about 12-14 minutes. The timing of the lights SUCKS.

Out of the places I've lived so far, I think Albany, NY is still my favorite. Colder and snowier than Raleigh, but I just felt more at ease and comfortable in the NY lifestyle.

I live in a World Heritage site too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Lanark you can see my house in the photo at the top of the page. I live on the Clyde with a nature reserve on my doorstep. Safe for kids, small school (60 kids 4 in my daughters year), close to a town and less than a hour to two major cities (and two more minor ones). We have 10 houses on our street so there is a nice community feel to it. When the gutters got damaged by the thawing snow a few of us helped put em back up. That kinda thing never happened when I lived in the cities.

Hm. I love where I live because it has all 4 seasons. Winter is rightly cold. Summer is hot. Spring is wet and green. Fall is gorgeous with the hills being covered with golds and oranges, broken by the green of pines. Glaciers left the area hilly.

Most of all, I notice the smells. Summer here smells like no where else. A sweetness in the air from the pine trees and other plants can not be matched.

Anywho, that is some of why I love Wisconsin. Not for everyone, but it's home to me.

I can relate, I lived an hour north of San Diego in California. SD was hot, but Murrieta gets to 105+ F in the summer, totally dry heat. It's in a basin too, so we get these lovely Santa Ana winds which are also hot.

As for Atlanta (which is where I am now), it's alright. I don't know a lot of people since 90% of the folks working at the deli don't speak a lot of English and I'm not in school, but the weather has been nice this week I guess. 60ish F and overcast. There's a good selection of pubs, at least.

Austin is awesome. We have movie theaters where you can drink cocktails with dedicated ushers that have never failed to eject people before they cause a problem. We have bats. Huge college town. It's gonna be 75 today in January. No natural disasters (except halloween on 6th street). The least-Texas city in the whole Southwest. An awesome live music scene (that I don't participate in enough), and ridiculously awesome food. Right in the middle of the shitty big cities of Texas, if you just have to visit somewhere with over a million people.
