    I lived in Harrisburg, PA for about a year in 2000-1. Nice people, expensive to live there. Taxes and more Taxes. I also lived in Richmond, VA for 10 years, 1990-2000. Humidity and heavy wet snow... I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. My job also required me to move frequently. I love Montana. I live about 4 hours east of the northern Rockies, and 3 hours east of Yellowstone National Park

    Born in Kenya, Kenya bred - strong in the arm and thick in the head!

    I left Kenya in 1992 and lived in Cyprus for 11 years but now I am in a small town called Flitwick in Bedfordshire, which is also nicknamed "Tesco Town" as they are the only supermarket here.

    Nairobi was a force to be reckoned with, especially when the government offices closed at 5.00 p.m. and all their employees spilled out into the streets and to the bus stops to go home. You did not want to be still in town at that time! I lived opposite Uhuru Park in Nairobi's centre and regularly witnessed tourists being mugged.

    That aside, there are some lovely woods around Flitwick and my partner and I have an allotment from June last year and so are novices trying to grow our own vegetables and having a lot of fun trying.

    I live in Huntsville, Alabama. I was in the military so I lived all over the world, and I really cant think of a better place to live.
    Most people think of Alabama (or the southern United States for that matter) as sort of backwards. I think Huntsville is the exception to the rule. We have alot of high tech industry here...Nasa, Boeing, Aero Jet, Northrup Grummend and the U.S. Missle Defense Command just to name a few. Huntsville has the third-highest concentration of private-sector technology industry workers nationally, according to a new survey based on 2006 data.
    Of every 1,000 private-sector workers in the city two years ago, 188 worked for high-tech companies. San Jose/Silicon Valley in Northern California topped the report with 286 high-tech workers per 1,000.

    No this is not an ad for Huntsville Alabama...I just really love my town and I'm proud to call it home!!

    Flo-ree-dah!!!!

    Madeira Beach/Seminole to be more precise..

    It's about 30 mins. west of Tampa

    30 mins. north of Sarasota

    It's pretty nice. Less congestion and crime than Tampa.

    Located closer to things to do than Sarasota.

    And St. Petersburg is only 10 mins. away, and they have bunches to do there. Baseball, big concert venues, Grand Prix every year, etc.
