Jaye Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Pfft, no... Warrington is boooooring... (although I do love Sankey Valley Park) I miss Yorkshire. I'd probably move back there given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sometimes you never know where life will take you, but I am in love with where we live - Ashland, Oregon is amazing and Southern Oregon in general is truly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonfiredaman02 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I couldn't imagine living in a cooler place than new york. I was born here, and i've lived elsewhere, but this is home, and its the greatest city on earth, and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anagramking Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have a love/hate relationship with Chicago. I love the food experience here. I love the architecture. I love that I don't have to drive everywhere, that I can get most places by foot, train, or taxi. I hate the weather. I hate the politicians. I hate the traffic. I grew up in Phoenix. I miss it, especially when the weather is miserable here. When I go visit, I don't recognize it, though. It is turning into Los Angeles. It also has very little soul anymore. Too much of the chain restaurants and retail boxes, along with miles upon miles of stucco and red roofs. If one looks hard enough, one will see that it's not all that, though. Sometimes I think Neil's description of Phoenix in Ghost Rider was more right than wrong, sometimes not. At the same time, it is home, and I marvel at how far it's come along since I was a kid.

-D-RocK- Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I live in Yellowknife NWT Canada and I know exactly what everyone is thinking - "Holy F**K!!". Truth be told, Yellowknife is not a bad place to be. Once I sort of got use to the long, dark, freezing cold winters and isolation (24 hours to Edmonton by car) I also began appreciating the intense natural beauty of the area. We have things like 24 hour daylight in summer, dazzling aurora borealis in winter, tens of thousands of pristine lakes, millions of acres of untouched wilderness, and the world's 9th largest lake that makes it feel like we're on the coast. Spring and summer always bring out abundant sunshine, exotic birds, wildlife and plants, and of course - bugs. Lots and lots of bugs. The city itself is small with just over 20,000 people, but everything is here (except a rollercoaster). There's a vibrant little arts & music scene, nightlife and plenty of sport & rec organizations as well as excellent facilities (especially the corrections center). All the big box stores are here along with all the crappy fastfood chains. The economy is very robust, driven by three diamond mines, federal and territorial government, ecotourism and the service industry. However, there seems to be a serious increase in crime lately (drugs) and major social problems are ever present. The local politics are just plain weird and the city is growing to fast to keep up with the housing demand. Alot of the citizenry are complaining that the city is underpoliced. Soon though, it'll be time to say sayanara to the north and make way back to the mountains of good ole' BC. After all, home is where the heart is.......ya know?

As I get older, people and traffic annoy me more, and I want to go be in the woods... WOW!!! I thought that Necro was the only one. His idea of the perfect place is a cabin in the woods, where they have to "drop" food to you. I could do this a month or so but for the rest of my life.

Rushman14 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I live in So Cal... I like it alot and we have everything we need, including beautiful weather, but for the love of God there's way too many people here and the cost of living is through the roof. The only positive thing about the gas prices is that there's a few less cars on the road. Very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 My family is here, so I am divided. But I hate the climate, and the general bassackwardness of the politics here. Too many people who can't get over the South losing the damn Civil War. It's not the worst place to be, but I wouldn't mind moving somewhere with a considerably cooler climate. My sister lives in Chicago, and anytime I've visited in the winter, I've felt. . .invigorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Except for the cost of living, I love Connecticut. It has everything I need here. We also have the 4 seasons in all there glory. What a joy to experiance Spring and fall in New England. The Summer is hot. The Winters are cold, and though im not a big fan of the cold, Christmas always feels like it should. Weather wise, its the safest place in the country to live. For the most part we dont have Earthquakes, Tornados, Hurricares, Wild fires, Floods. There have been instances where some of this things have occured, but its very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm not entirely enthalled with Bellingham,WA. It's getting waaaay to expensive for a town where jobs average $15/hr.. They're trying to gentrify and cover up what's basically a rough mill town ( ). We stayed in Wenatchee for a few days when we saw rush at the Gorge. Dryer, warmer climate. I'm tired of watching mold grow on walls and my yard being filled with standing water. In June, no less. (59 and rain today ,whoo hoo!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgyspice Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Southern California is the best. I've lived here since '85-- basically grew up here. I moved to LA to go to school and haven't budged since. The only other place I'd consider living is Northern California...although sometimes I have romantic ideas about running off to live somewhere in England.

GhostGirl Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 What, there's no "OMG hell no I'd move in a heartbeat" choice? I live in central Alabama. I was born here. It's hot. It's humid. MANY, many of the people are narrow-minded and intolerant. Many of them don't THINK for themselves. Rush won't come here. I'd love a cooler climate and a different culture than I get here in the BUCKLE of the Bible belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
