City, Country or Suburbs?

Where do you live?

I live in the 'burbs. About as suburban as you can get. Middle class neighborhood, picket white fence, etc.

Some day I want to buy some land and build a huge log home.

 

Im a city guy. That is why I am looking at condo's downtown Chicago.

 

I live in the suburbs about 10 miles from central philadelphia.

 

I live in the burbs. It's kind of a weird area. I'm about 10 minutes from the ghetto, about 15 minutes from downtown Dallas, but the area I'm in is kind of rural. There are some fields a couple of minutes away from me.

 

Ghetto all up in da hood!

Seriously though I am a burbs guy, outter fringe of town, keeps anyone from smelling the corpses in my basement, would hate to get caught......was that my outside voice?

 

Well currently I live on a hillside overlooking the city of Reno. I love the views, but the city just isnt big enough and too many Californians are flooding in causing the cost of EVERYTHING to go up.

It just isnt fun anymore.

 

Sounds like a nice pad though zman. Hilltops overlooking cities are always cool.

 

Yeah. I sometimes sit out on the patio with a cigar and beer and watch the flights come and go. Reno sits in a valley so from my patio I can see the entire city. It is also very nice when there is fireworks.

 

I guess for me it's none of the above, I live on a Island around 60km long and less than 20km wide.. or there abouts

 

Hey, I know exactly what you mean J.P.

 

Trees, trees, and more trees for me. seriously though the village I live in and the surrounding villages have about 800 houses. The nearest town is 8 miles away with about 55,ooo houses, then the City of Swansea is about 14 miles away which has some beautiful coastline and some of the best surfing in the UK. I like to be close to civilisation, but not in it. I lived in the city and it was too hectic for my liver if you catch my drift.

 

i can't stand it when there is no gas station/grocery store/walgreens within 3 blocks...i've been in canada for 3 weeks with no car, ugh, this totally sucks, i'm so spoiled, i hate walking everywhere!

 

It must be nice to have your own islands.

 

Yep, J.P. and I own neighbouring islands just off the coast of Africa. You are welcome anytime Hodge baby, as long as you bring your own toilet paper.

 

Yeah I don't really feel like using a stick.

Is your island real primitive? I could imagine showing up there and being worshipped by the natives. I'm going to tell them I was sent from the gods. I bet you would really freak if I rode a horse.

 

A true Texan.

 

Lanzarote is great if you love drunken revelling Brits and German Teens

 

What? You think we don't have horses? Pah! You'll need to do better than that to impress the natives. But really you are too late. A funny little guy showed up with a chainsaw lately and they all worship him now.

 

Directions please.

 

I'm not a cowboy though even though I grew up on a farm. I was just thinking of when the Spaniards came to South America and all of the Indian tribes were amazed when they first saw them on horses and offered them all their gold and virgins.

I watched Aguirre: Wrath of God last night so maybe that has something to do with my post.

e10 can I have all of your island's gold and virgins?
