What places, historic sites, colleges, etc, do you live near?

Armidale is in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. It's an educational centre that services the educational needs of country kids and overseas studnets.....we have many private schools here, and the University of New England. Most students board at their respective colleges, so when school holidays and semester breaks come along, the city sort of empties a bit. The architecture here sort of follows along the lines of VERY English, so there are lots of those ivy covered Tudor style buildings around, and lots of older style Aussie colonial buildings.....a very historic city, and a very beautiful place to live.

I live near Cleveland, the mistake by the Lake. We do have the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Case Western University, Ohio State is two hours away in beautiful Columbus. Cleveland is a dumpy, filty city. I so want to leave and move elsewhere. Seattle I wish I could afford you. England you are calling me. Yet here I am stuck in this ugly place........

Cornell University(about 1 hour away, Used to live 5 mins away)
Howes Caverns(about 2 hours away)
Albany(State Capitol, about 2 hours away, used to live there)

Columbus is beautiful? I disagree - since I live right by High Street, and I attend the OSU. It's filthy, but.. it is a very nice campus..

LOL! You need to get out more! Don't let the area around Ohio State be your biggest impression of Columbus. They have a good Art Museum, fabulous Main Library (check it out), and several specialty museums. Schools also include Columbus State, and the Columbus College of Art & Design, a very good art school. Downtown also has German Village, and the High St. Gallery strip (very hip).
The inner city & area surrounding campus are pretty run down, but there are sooo many really lovely places around the Columbus area out towards the suburbs like Grandview, Bexley (the Franklin Conservatory is gorgeous), Worthington (lived there for 5 years), Dublin, and Delaware. I wish we were moving back to the Columbus area.

Ok ok ok, haha, I have gone out a few times -- out to Worthington & Dublin. I like Dublin a lot, nice area! I have seen the Columbus College of Art & Design... pretty sweet school -- I could never afford to go there. I have visited the art muesum, which is a very nice place..

Not much historical stuff around here since Az is a fairly new state (1912).

Our tourist attractions are primarily the landscape; The Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Sonoran Desert, Painted Desert, Sunset Crater National Monument, Rainbow Bridge National Monument, Canyon De Shelly, and the Petrified Forest.

The few historical sites are the old Yuma prison and quite a number of old Trading posts sprinkled around these sites.

The universities are Arizona State University ASU
and Northern Arizona University NAU

And of course we mustn't forget the rattlesnakes.

It is a long way for anyone to visit ( though you would be very welcome) but I live between Hong Kong and Macau on one side and Guangzhou on the other. Zhuhai,the small city I live in is by the South China Sea and is nicknamed Lover's City.

Here are some pictures of the various places.
