Do You like where......

[Deadly Sushi]

......you live? Have you moved often? At all?

And..... where WOULD you like to live (within North America)?

[joec]

I actually like where I'm living now but then I live where I work. I grew up in Florida and lived their till my kids where in school when I moved to Texas. We lived in Texas but I personally traveled a lot spending months in other countries. In 1980 we moved back to Florida where I spent the next 3 years mostly traveling for my job. When that ended early in 84 I went back to school then worked for 6 years for Dade County Public Schools. I retired in 90 for 5 years then went in to the storage business as a property manager where I learned the job. In 04 I took over part interest in where I am now as well as managing it. This is a great retirement job for both my wife and I.

Where I live sucks. It just sucks. I want to live anywhere but here. It sucks.
But things will be OK in a couple months :lol:

A pic from today

I really never have liked Nebraska-cold in the winter, hot & humid in the summer, and the past 10 years, taxes have absolutely skyrocketed in the Omaha area. I don't mind paying my fair share, but other than some huge Grandiose yet pointess construction projects, I can see no reason for it.

Mrs will retire(early) in the next couple of years, thens its off to Nevada. Hopefully in the Rachel (area 51) area....my kind of people, and still within striking distance of Las Vegas so I can get my ya-ya's out!:punk:

Well...its a nice snow blower, LOL!!

I don't wanna live here either, never did. I was born in the country and would much rather live there. We moved around a lot when I was a kid: Cedar Rapids, Fort Dodge, Storm Lake, Whapeton, Milford, Fostoria, Millers Bay, and then Lake Park.
I met my wife at the University of Iowa, and from there: Hoffman Estates, Palatine, Des Plaines, Evanston, and now Cicero.
If I had my way I would be back in Iowa, we would prefer to be out by Sioux City in the country with a nice big track of land to grow prairie plants on for sale to landscaping firms.

I just moved here (Ohio) a little over a year ago from California where I had lived my whole life.....and I will NEVER go back! I love it here! It fits me perfectly, just enough country mixed with just enough big city! Still getting use to the snow, but I love how we actually have seasons here....soooooo beautiful!!

[Lefty]

I live in vacation land, I love it.

[TexasGirl]

always lived in Texas. all homes are within 100 miles of each other, lol
I hate where I am now.

[lilylove]

I like where I am... the mountains and the ocean are both close enough for day trips but it sure is rainy and gray a lot!!! Wouldn't mind being somewhere warmer!!

If I could go outside North A. ... I'd head to Mexico!! Ok, I know... I know.. You already knew that.

My oldest son lives in Seabeck WA, about an hour from Seattle Lily. He loves it out there too. I been there a few times and was afraid of rusting with all the rain.

I'm living in Philly for now... think I will be here for awhile. I live in a area that is either super-hip or total hood depending on who you ask. Definitely a lot of sketchy characters but also a good number of cool people. Sometimes the grit and the poverty and crime gets to me but the flip side is that there is a pretty good sense of community. Philly can be a rough place though and I will always be somewhat of a outsider here.

I grew up in NY a bit in DaBronx and the in the Burbs. Went to College and got my first grad degree in TX. I loved TX and should have never left but always felt I was missing something in NYC.... so I moved back... great place to live but a hard place to get ahead.

Moved to Philly for grad school with the intention of staying but HATED it and moved back to NY but ended up packing it in for Philly again... this time I knew what I was in for and I do like it here.... sometimes though it can wear you down.

I always miss TX though and try to get back there as often as I can... I imagine I will end up there again someday.

I also spent some time in CT which just sucked and Ticino Switzerland which was perfect and beautiful but sort of boring and super expensive.

[PanchoHambre]

but I love how we actually have seasons here....soooooo beautiful!!


huh I grew up with Seasons... I'm over them TX ruined me I HATE winter.

Born in Missouri, lived near St Louis and in the middle of the state, moved to California and grew up there - three different places before I graduated college. Then the Air Force told me I would live in Texas, Wyoming (loved my two winters there!), back to Texas, to Georgia (found my Georgia peach there), to VietNam, and finally back to California. Couldn't find a job when I got out, we sold out and moved back to my inlaws in Georgia, finally got one in South Carolina. Ten years later, moved to Central Florida for 18 years. Then I took a job consulting, and we sold our home and moved into a motor home so we could be together out on the road. Spent two years in Kansas, then back to Texas, then to Alabama. After my wife died, they sent me to California, Iowa, Missouri, back to Iowa, and then finally back to Alabama. Since I retired last year, I sold the coach and have been living with my daughter in Northern Alabama. But if I had my druthers, I think I'd really like to go back out to Kansas. We loved our two years out there.

You know, I was confused when I called you because you had a Cal area code.. I guess that explains why now!!! I did not think you lived in cali...

Anyhow... to answer the question... NO! I hate this damn heat and humidity. I hate that we bought a house on a street that became a through way for every dang thing cutting through our town. Oh well.. first house, and with layoffs on the horizon... just gonna stay put for now!

[suziquzie]

I was born in NYC and was forced to the twin cities by my parents at age 12.
I hated it then but I had no other choice really so I got over it.
DH and I tried to run away for ahwhile and lived in Crawfordsville (yikes!) and Indianapolis IN. Came RUNNING back.
Now I live in the country, still in MN, still like it ok but would really not mind a little shorter and warmer of a winter!!!!!
I'd take the sticks over the city any day.... but I love to visit the city.

i don't know if i could be away from nyc for all that long, so i'd always keep a residence here.

and i've always wanted a house in vermont, and one in florida. i'm halfway there, with a nice chunk of land in florida. just have to build on it. next will be up north. maybe a condo near killington.

but, if i had to choose somewhere else along with my east coast homes, it wouldn't be in the good ole u.s. of a.

i'd love to spend a part of the year in british columbia. the people there are awesome, and bc bud rocks! not to mention the mountains.

my other home, of which i have a longstanding bid with the owner when he should decide to sell (or pass on), is the home my grandfather built in co. leitrim, ireland. right on the river shannon. green fields speckled with yellow wildflowers, lakes and streams jammed with trout, locals of sharp wit and sound mind, and sheep for the taking... :wub:, i mean eating...

I've lived in two places, in/near Tulsa, OK and in/near Madison, WI... I have traveled quite a bit in the U.S., and I wouldn't mind living in Southern California, but I was happy in Tulsa, and I'm happy here. Everywhere else I could take it or leave it...
