What do you like about the City (town, etc..) that you live in?

Hello escapist!

Now, the question is the same as in the title.

What about your city do you like?


Name the city, tell us something it might be known for then explain one (or more) things you really like.


I live in Brampton Ontario Canada.

The city I live in is really known for having a massive South Asian population (India, Pakistan, and countries around those two).

And what I like is that we end up getting a lot of pretty, 'Westernised' brown girls, and that's something that appeals to me.

In Laramie, Wyoming right now, but only for another week and a half. Then I'm moving back to Colorado, likely Denver or Boulder.

Laramie is boring, nothing here but wind! My hometown in Colorado has plenty to do, all the time. And lots of girls.

The people, the parks, the excellent pubs.

The aura of wellbeing it projects every time I return, after living here for five years.

I LOVE Sheffield.

Heh, it's funny because you assume everyone lives in a City/Town.

I live in pretty much the ass-end of nowhere, at the top of a small hill nestled in farmland. My nearest decent (that has a cinema, shopping mall etc) town, Shrewsbury, is about 15 miles away.

Where I live, we have some great views, a beautiful landscape, plenty of critters to shoot, and no noisy neighbors. The small towns in the surrounding area have a nice sense of community, some very very good pubs, and not a lot else. But that's the way I like it.

I said 'etc' damn it!

Nothing. It's a shitehole.

It's the most cracka-ass town ever, I swear.

It's a town called Galashiels in the Scottish Borders.

We have no natural disasters. Like, ever. No earthquakes, no mudslides, no hurricanes, no tornadoes, no volcanoes... We don't even have smog.

The worst we get are snow storms here in Winnipeg.

 

[conflictofinterests]

I'm within half an hour of almost everything. 3 hours if you're REALLY picky. Theaters, malls, the Zoo, the beach, parks, museums, Disneyland, Universal Studios, etc.

Cheesesteaks. Well, that and the fact that it's probably the most historically significant city in America (it's Philadelphia, if you haven't guessed).

You've forgotten floods, and you're wrong about tornadoes also. We're pretty good in the city, but in the area there have been tornadoes. I like how we have all the amenities of a big city, but with that small town feel. And I just love downtown. And Osborne.

It's beautiful. Far away from cities or anything, just nature and some townhouses.

Nothing at all... AT ALL. My town/city is the most boring place I have ever lived..

Where is that? It looks like something from an Elder Scrolls game! (Which is quite apt given your avatar and user title thingy.)

Yeah, there's floods, but it only affects the people who have homes near the rivers. And tornadoes never actually enter the city, they're always outside the border if at all.

I live in London, and so I live in one of the most incredible places on the planet. Everything thing else I can visit whenever I feel like it, due to our 5 airports, and rail service to mainland Europe.

I literally can't think of a better place to live. Some cities are bigger (although not many) but few have the mix of history and contemporary down the same way that London has.

Binghamton, when considered by most people, is a completely crappy place to live in. Always rainy, the people suck, nothing to do... everyone complains. And while I can agree with two of those things, I absolutely love the rain, and a good thunderstorm is a shot of adrenaline and peace at the same time that doesn't just get me through the day, it gets me through the week. The winters may be too cold, and the summers may be too hot, but the springs and falls are perfectly punctuated by that beautiful-smelling rain. Oh, and we have speidies too, something that not even Google Chrome's spell-checker knows about (it says it's misspelled on my post, but offers no correct spelling), and we even have a whole festival for them.

Philadelphia has 4 rock stations on the radio that don't suck. 93.3, 94.1, 102.9, and 104.5

Even if 104.5 does lean a little too indie at times.

And a bunch of good morning DJ talk shows. All on the rock stations!

And that's about it. Our sports fans are the most annoying in the world. That's good or bad, really.

I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I spend a lot of time of Detroit. I like that Ann Arbor has a distinctive feel to it, more homely (but not down-on-the-ranch homely) than other places I've been. And I like Detroit's size and different locale. It's a lot different than Chicago or New York

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

I live in a smaller area just outside of London and that's precisely what I like about it. It's so close to the capital but it's not like living in the capital, it's pretty much a small village area.
