What do you love about where you live?
It just occured to me on my lunchbreak that as much as I knock where I live, there's a lot to enjoy. We've got a peninsula, an indoor waterpark, and an undefined 'shopping district'. The traffic isn't bad, the air is generally clean, and we seem to have a fair amount of citywide festivals. And there's also the glorious 'All You Can Eat Chicken Wings' night which is offered at quite a few restaurants and bars around here, which, from personal experience doesn't occur everywhere.
Nothing, except the fact im smarter than everyone where I live.

I live, quite literally, in the perfect place. With the exception of some of the people, so...not that literally...
But it is such a fantastic place. It's a town with basically everything, and just minutes away is open countryside!
I love looking through the window and knowing you guys are there.
Did you guys know you had your own webcam?
The Parnel Rose Gardens were built around the house where I live. Its like a backyard xD
Plus, I can walk to the city should I wish to.
I'm an American in Germany. What's not to love?
...
I like that I can see the ocean from my house, and I like that movies are dirt cheap. That's actually it. I'd love to leave here.
This town, I'm not too crazy about. It's too white-bread and sheltered.
But god, New York. I couldn't picture myself in any other place, I am infatuated with state. The history, the culture, it's all very beautiful to me. It's the place where so many immigrants, like my father as a child and his family from Italy, came to start a new life, and it's like no other place in the world to me. New York City especially, I want to live there for a few years while I go to college. And I'm not going to lie, even just being in Time Square makes me very emotional and teary, it's very beautiful to me. And that's why I don't know how people can think that NYC is a horrible crime ridden place, because it's so beautiful and Manhattan is actually low in crime despite common belief, due to Giuliani. Most people who say that have only seen pictures of the buroughs, like Brooklyn. I'm proud of being a New Yorker, moreso than being an American actually (because I dislike most other states xD), and everyone knows I'm a New Yorker because of my Noo Yoikah accent.
I guess growing up in a rural area a big city is a nice change. Also the fact that Montreal maintains greenery. Where I live specifically is nice and quiet and I am near a cemetery which is nice to walk in during the day. There are other things too, but I cannot think of anything.
* I live very near to an excellent supermarket that provides me with great take-away food, a wide range of magazines, comics and books, electrical goods, computer games and pharmacy items.
* We're close to the countryside. A quick stroll up the lane and you're in a field. It's all very pretty and green.
* It's not a "rough" area, as they say here in England. Nobody is posh by any stretch of the imagination, but we don't have hundreds of skallies/chavs parading around on street corners causing trouble.
* We're not too far away from the town centre, but we're not too near it either. What I mean is, we can easily hop onto the bus in order to visit that special shop, but the late night clubs/bars that attract the wrong sort of crowd don't affect us at all.
All in all, I love the area in which I live.

uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
The weather is great, and there's tons to do. It'll take alot to get me to leave...
There's a little store that sells playing cards nearby. Other than that, there really isn't a whole lot of anything.
BEHOLD!!! The 88 Plymouth Sundance!!
I like my local neighbourhood because it's full of honest, likeable people, and there's a record store, game store and bookshop close at hand. I love London because there's so much culture and such a variation across the city. It's got history, but that doesn't get in the way of it being a living city, and I like that.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
There's a store called Hershey's, but it doesn't sell chocolate. I could go on, but you don't want to hear that.
I love the urban culture in London, I'd hate to live anywhere else where I'd be missing out all of it. The great variety of things to do in the city, I could go out and be very culteral and look around the historical parts of London, or I could go out and go through the very modern parts of the city. I dont think any other city in the world has such a great clash of old and new.
I also like my accent :cool:
