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.
 
Chattannoga, Tennessee, USA, where Tennessee joins to Alabama and Georgia. Beautiful country, really old mountains, lots of water, and three hundred species of freshwater fish (not counting the bad imported ones.)
 
I live in the middle of no-where Quebec Canada. Nearest computer store is about 30 minutes drive.
 
Augsburg (Bavaria), Germany since 3 years.
before that I lived in Munich (Bavaria) - Oktoberfest City :)

anybody who lives close to me?

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!!
 
i agree with you deahead but where do they get most of their employees, not alabama to say the least, good town to be in though.
 
I Live in New Zealand the beautiful city of Dunedin in the south island , Home to the famous Otago University, So if ya in The neighbourhood pop in for a coffee :)
 
I'll be in Auckland in May - if I can fix it well will be there!
Used to have a penfriend there but I cannot remember her name - just that her family used to own a big department store which they lost some 40 odd years ago!
 
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.
 
Johannesburg, South Africa .... and no, there aren't any lions, elephants or tigers running around on the streets of SA as many uninformed, ignorant people believe lol .... In fact, tigers are not part of African wildlife - they can only be found in a zoo hehe .... ignorance is NOT bliss - it keeps you stupid.

There is a section of Los Angeles called La Brea (as in La Brea Tar Pits) but Brea is a city in Orange County.
 
ya, Brea is Spanish for tar. So it's obvious why the tar pits were called La Brea or actually Rancho La Brea was the name of that area. But between the 60 and 90 freeways just north of Brea is a lot of oil fields so I'm sure there was tar around there too. There's oil everywhere in this town. (Los Angeles)
 
Thanks luvhuffer, I haven't lived in Los Angeles since the mid 80's. I am actually a "Valley Boy" raised in the San Fernando Valley (Tarzana). They have changed many city names and city boundries... in the last 30 years
