i love my house, i love my neighborhood (WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS!!) love my city, but i don't care for the state. like trev i'd rather live on the coast. i miss the sand, sun and fresher air.
I hate my condo, I abhor my neighborhood, and I'm dying to get out of Connecticut.
Can't stand it here. I just need to figure out where I want to go.
Austin?
Phoenix?
Baltimore?
Philly?
Ann-Arbor?

I'm wondering if you like where you live. (the city and state, I mean)
We moved to Austin from Dallas 2 years ago, and I still hate it here. It's a city filled with construction and rude people. At least the weather stayed the same. ;)
Where do you live and do you love it or hate it?
According to a national survey, Austin is supposed to be one of the ten best places to live.
Personally I hate it in Texas during the summer which I spend mostly indoors due to the heat. I would much rather live some place cooler with all four seasons.
After taking this quiz the top 5 places for me show to be, Columbus, IN, Johnstown, PA, Lancaster, OH, Peterborough and Littleton, NH.

I love where we live! I grew up on Long Island, and hated it. I never fit in down there.
I moved to New England 8 years ago, and love it up here. The housing is affordable, and we were able to buy a real house with a decent amount of land. One drawback is that the 3 neighbors we have are unfriendly. I've never spoken to 2 of them, and only twice to the 3rd. When you smile and wave, they don't smile or wave back. I guess we are the "newcomers" and that's the way it is. :p
I love the changing seasons, though summer doesn't last long enough, and it takes too long for spring to get here sometimes. But that's OK. Fall is gorgeous, summer isn't too hot, and I love snow. :)
I love where I live. It's a small town about an hour outside of pittsburgh. I love the changing seasons, and I could not handle the heat in the south during the summer. I'll get some good pics in the fall, my favorite season!
Oh wow, I LOVE Kentucky SOOO very much!!!:D We moved here from CA about 2 1/2 years ago, and even though it was a really big change, it was for the better!! I have made SO many wonderful friends, and the area is beautiful...rolling hills, and HORSES!:D -grin- So I love it here!:)
I don't really love where I live, but its okay. I would Love to move to Montana someday though! I will probably never leave Michigan in reality :( Oh well, the changing seasons are alright and there is a variety of things to do.
I LOVE my hometown of Syracuse, NY! Absolutely LOVE it!! The weather can be rough, Syracuse and the surrounding areas get a LOT of snow!!! Last year, they got 11 ft of snow!!! :eek: There are years when Syracuse gets more snow than any other place in the WORLD!!! :eek:
But it's no big deal, you get used to it when you grow up with weather like that in the winter. People just plow the roads shovel out and life goes on as normal!! No big deal!
AND the summers!!! OMG! The summers are the most beautiful in CNY! There are a million and one things to do; festivals every weekend; dozens of parks; Lake Ontario is there, St. Lawrence River is close...tons of other lakes and rivers for boating, swimming, camping; hiking.....People in CNY REALLY try their best to enjoy the warm weather and take full advantage of it since winters can be long. People are always outside in the summer, hardly ever shut away in the AC...
OK, now that I've bragged about my wonderful hometown...I, unfortunately, have been living in NJ for 6 months! I will be moving to PA on Sunday!! I took the quiz that Auggie posted and it gave me 24 "Top Spots"....Harrisburg, PA was actually # 3 on the list which is great since it's only 30 minutes from my new town!! :D It also listed Carlisle PA which I think is near here somewhere too... :confused:
The rest of the towns consisted of some upstate NY towns (including Syracuse!:D ), and a slew of towns in NC and Virginia, both states that I love!!
I'm such an East Coast girl!! I love the green and the rolling hills...I would never make it out west!
auggie, Littleton NH is a beautiful place to live. I highly recommend it. I love NH. I live a 1/2 hour from the beach (which I LOVE), 1 hour from Boston, a 1/2 hour from Newburyport MA (great little town by the sea), 10 minutes from a lake, 1 hour from the mountains and 15 minutes from the biggest city in NH (Manchester). I love the little town I live in. HOWEVER, the real estate situation in NH is ridiculous. A decent home starts at $300,000 (and this is a home on a 1/4 acre of land). Rents are high (but luckily mine is very low). It's impossible to buy a house here unless you are wealthy or upper middle class. It's very sad because I know I'll never be able to buy a house here. ILoveReptiles, I know how you feel. I use to own a townhouse and I HATED one of my neighbors. If they would have spontaniously combusted before my eyes, I would have been very happy. I lived there 8 months and finally decided to sell it and move back into my old apartment (where I'm very happy). Though I do dream of owning a little house on a nice piece of wooded land. I'll have to remember to buy a Powerball tix. I'll have to take that test to see where "my spot" is.
hmmm....i just did that test and my top spots are:
Clarksville, TN
Hampton, VA
Chattanooga, TN
Augusta, GA
Norfolk, VA
Jackson, Miss
Greenville, SC
Hattiesburg, Miss
Springfileld, Missouri
El Paso, TX
All down south..........interesting.
I really love where I live. Ohio is a nice state however there isn't much to see here if you ask me. I loooove my hometown because it is so small and I always feel safe here. Whenever I go to big cities for vacation or something I am always so glad that I can walk on the sidewalk and it won't be croweded with people!:D So yes I love where I live!!!! :)
JenBKR, I'm from Pittsburgh (actually the Penn Hills area). What town are you from?Quote:

Dallas definitely has it's share of mean/rude people. And because it's so big, it can be a scary place to try to maneuver through. :)Quote:

I did get scared of Dallas people for awhile after a horrible trip where people were flipping me off when driving on the highway, mean customer service people at the places I went, etc. I've decided that was probably just a bad coincidence though.
I guess I shouldn't have generalized quite so much. There are a lot of nice people here, but for the most part, I've never encountered so many people so self-centered and rude as I have here. :(
Aahhhh, so you've never been to Clifton, NJ then...;) :p :DQuote:

We're pretty close! I am from Greensburg (actually just moved to Mt. Pleasant, only a few minutes away). My grandparents actually live in penn hills. :)Quote:
