Elite 3972      Reno | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... drewb8 - 2005-02-18 6:22 PM Denver Do I have to anything more than THE MOUNTAINS? How about winter in THE MOUNTAINS. Spring in THE MOUNTAINS. SUMMER in THE MOUNTAINS. Fall in THE MOUNTAINS. And there are more registered dogs than voters in Summit County where I used to live. Although I do miss the food from NY - PIZZA & Deli's & bagels especially. check out Benny Blancos slice of the bronks on 13th ave between Pearl and Washington. And around the corner is Denver Ted's philly cheese steaks. Now that I am packing up to leave Denver, a list of what I love about it might bring me to tears. Anyone know what is to love about Winnemucca, NV? |

Anyone know what is to love about Winnemucca, NV? Well I was going to sat Winnemucca is fun to say too but Kim beat me to it. I think I stopped for gas there once and if I remember right their on and off ramps were very convenient. I bet you can see alot of stars out there. Never been to Benny Blancos, I'll have to try it. I've gone to Abo's a few times which is 1/2 way decent for out here. |

| Master 2233 Mechanicsburg, PA | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... What I like about Middle-of-Nowhere Pennsylvanie: - I'm less than 3 hours away from some awesome cities (NYC, PHL, DC, BALT) - I'm an hour and a half away from the nearest big city  - Lots of farmland and low traffic roads to ride my bike - "Honor System" produce and egg stands - Clean Air - Cheap gasoline that I'm allowed to pump for myself  - Rakestraw's Ice Cream - well, not necessarily the ice cream (blech - frozen milk fat), but they have awesome sherbet - The general store lets me sign for my receipts and send me a bill every month - and it's a block from my hourse - can you say UPS shipping on Sundays? - A big yard for my dogs - Our mayor knows me by name and invites me in to see his new toys if I'm running past his house (he got a Bobcat for Christmas) What I like about other places (just the highlights): - PHL - Pat's King of Steaks, the art Museum - NYC - um, everything - Ontario (and Canada in general) - the friendliest people on the face of the earth. Period. Oh, and the shipwrecks. - The Bahamas - Goombay Punch - Barbados - the diving, conch fritters and 1,001 dishes that you can make from flying gunnards - Puerto Rico - everything except for the traffic. Piraguas, Old San Juan, the diving, Mona Island - Oklahoma - seeing the sun set at the horizon for the first time in my life I could go on, but I won't -Frank Edited by scuba-punk 2005-02-19 4:23 PM |

| Master 1741 Boston | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... What I love about living in Ft. Lauderdale: -this is going to be a short list as I'm not too fond of the place....but here goes nothing. 1. 20 minutes from the beach 2. Warm weather year round 3. Playing the "which person has had plastic surgery?" game 4. I'm 30 miles from my parents 5. Great shopping-everyone here is very fashion concious 6. Seeing beautiful, exotic cars 7. Lots of events going on- concerts, arts festivals, comedy shows, boat shows, film festivals, awards shows What I don't like about Ft. Lauderdale: 1. People CANNOT freaking drive to save their lives (I-95, I rest my case) 2. Tourists especially cannot drive 3. People are mean here, there's no southern hospitality- it's "my way or the highway" mentality around here 4. Everything is really expensive (food, clothes, etc.) 5. Too much emphasis on plastic surgery, beauty, etc. (They even did a series about 2 plastic surgeons at a hosptial here that aired on Discovery health channel) 5. I don't care about the Dolphins, or University of Miami 6. There's no nature here. No place to bike really or go for hikes or camping. I have met several people who have been hit by cars on A1A while biking. |

| Extreme Veteran 724 Delray Beach, FL | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... Delray Beach, Fl... I love Delray: I live 1 mile from the beach, I can run, bike and swim..... year round (pretty much). I live 5 minutes from Downtown Delray (nice restaurants and bars area), I can go partying and be back home in 5 minutes. Most of my friends live pretty close. 2:45 minutes plane ride to Caracas (where my family lives) Delray is a little town with a little town feel close to big cities. Still, it is not a suburb. Unfortunately it has become really expensive place to live. What I don't like: No Mountains, No mountains, No mountains Hurricanes Too close to the party area (hard to say no LOL) Miami, Ft Lauderdale, West Palm Beach are the next silicone city... not because of computers but breast implants. Everyone has one! Hard to resist peer pressure when you are 34A. Hard to find very good retaurants. Very few museums around. |

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... Exactly... we could move to Nebraska, or Texas, or Indiana and get set up pretty nicely. We wouldn't be in CHICAGO, I understand... but when people are paying $450,000 for a one car garage, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a small yard near the railroad tracks... you gotta wonder... (not by a STATION, mind you... just the actual TRACKS) That same $450,000 could buy you a 5500 sq. foot MANSION with LAND in Houston... I understand it wouldn't be in CHICAGO... but like I said... we'd be set up pretty nicely. |

| Extreme Veteran 343 Centennial, CO | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... Kim - I've been through Paonia...twice. Once comin' and once goin'.

| Master 1914 Finally north of the Mason-Dixon Line | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... I've been wanting to reply to this thread, but have yet to think of anything good about Houston... I see I'm not alone in this as noone from Texas has yet to respond... the bad as I see it are: too much air pollution, excessive heat and humidity, no seasonal changes, and mold grows on everything from homes to cars to plants. When can I move!!!! Now for other places that I love: Ft. Riley, Kansas - close military community - four seasons - snow - K-state minutes away for cultural and althelic events - open area for the kids and dog to run till hearts content Lancaster, PA see scuba-punk's remarks - he summed it up well - he makes me homesick for my native state!!!!

| Elite 3972 Reno | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... Wow, Cathleen, Houston must be pretty bad to miss Lancaster.... I guess I miss a few things - leaves turning color in the fall, biking on hilly country roads..... But in general, I have not missed PA since moving away 20 years ago - man, are we old.... But I guess I never lived in Houston.... |

| Expert 852 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... I lived in Houston for 2 years, and can't think of a thing to miss about it other than good Mexican food. On the other hand, Colorado rocks!! I love the mountains, the weather, the blue sky, the people, the activities, and everything |

| Veteran 188 Tucson, Arizona | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... With the exception of Houston, everyone's civic pride is something to behold! I grew up on California's Central Coast and I reallllly miss the ocean, but I knew what I was doing when I moved; if I hadn't I'd still be surfing 2 times a day and wondering why I just got fired for not showing up to work instead. Having said that...what do I like about Tucson? Let me see. Yesterday I put in 40 miles on the bike in 65 degree sunny weather. With all the rain we've had recently the desert is going to explode with color for the next month or so. Spring training is starting up and I'll catch a few ballgames for next to nothing. And sorry everyone in San Diego and Houston, but we've got the best Mexican food around! |

| New user 10 Holland, MI | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... Holland, MI 1. 4 minute drive to work... 2. "Rush Hour" is when you don't make it to the bridge to the "Northside" before the train and it adds another 2 minutes to get home... 3. Fireworks over the Lake 4. Best thing about winter is the snow filling in the pot holes... Personally I hate everything else about this town, especially the people. Mostly because I grew up in Houston (Humble, Tomball, Spring), D.C. and Dallas and love the southern way of life. People here are extremely rude and closed minded and the weather drives me insane. Of course I've only been here a year and haven't met everyone, so I am still trying to give this place a chance before giving up entirely and trying to find a way out... |

| Master 1494 Kingston Ontario | Subject: RE: What I love about living in ... Kingston!
Winters suck. Not cold enough to maintain snow to play in, not warm enough for the little bit of crappy snow to go away. Way too much freezing precipitation going on - bad driving all the time. Kingston is one of the worst places for allergies, and don't I know it!! |
