How much do you love the town you live in?

RE: How much do you love the town you live in?
I quite like Rutland UK where I live, (it regularly appears in the top 5 places to live in the UK for quality of life) and it will do for the moment, but my dream would be to retire to coastal South Suffolk, or the Lake Bled area of Slovenia, which is just beautiful.

Hill Country has lots of little secrets. Smile

Also, cool shots of Berkeley. When I lived in the East Bay (Livermore) I used to love hiking Mt Diablo.

My job took me to Berkeley on a few occasions ... definitely a strange little slice of California.

If you clicked on the quote tag for an earlier post, it will continue to quote the very that same post in all of your responses to this thread until you un-click it...at least, I think that's what it is. It's happened to me before, and that how I managed to "fix" it, anyhow.

EDIT: Never mind. Seems as if you've already figured it out. 
Carry on. Smile

I'll try to remember to talk to my doctor.

I live in the San Diego area in California. Meh, I'd rather live in a more rural part of the county. Either that or move to the small-ish town in Washington where my paternal grandmother lives. More green, less people, lower cost of living, nicer weather(in my opinion, I'm actually not a fan of the hot sunny weather San Diego is known for).

I spent the entire religious phase of my life there.  In 8th grade, by the time my father was restationed to Maryland again, I'd been irreligious for two years.  I liked it a lot.  Still do.  But I am also not a fan of hot weather so further north suits me better.

I was down there at the end of March this year and stayed with a friend in Mission Hills for a few days.  Mostly 70's and 80's.  Saw loads of great gardens plus the Anza Borrego Desert.  I could definitely be happy there .. and was.

Can't resist a Blackadder reference.

I wouldn't want to look up a tree there.

RE: How much do you love the town you live in?
We moved to Wylie, TX about 10 years ago and I love it here. We are about thirty miles northeast of the heart of Dallas. Little railroad town that has grown a lot and is a great mix of old and new. It's quiet, safe, and sssssssssssooooooooooooo much better than South Carolina where I was trapped for twenty years...gads, I hate that place.

I did like Sierra Vista and Prescott Valley, AZ when I lived in those towns back in the 80s. I hated my hometown in Iowa.

I am quite content here and figure this will be the last place I live. Two of my three kids are here as well as two of four grandchildren.
