Tell me about a place of interest near your home.

I live in a big city. there's sooo much to do. There's the sam houston historical park where they have preserved period homes from the 1800's and you can get tours. Its all beautifly lanscaped, there's a church, a pond and a rustic cabin. There's the central library, 5 stories of books.. the underground shopping mall that sprawls all of downtown houston, the bayou, where you can take a canoe to, the walking and bike trails, the arboretums, the huge farmer's markets, the museum districs, which is a huge chunk of central houston. there's the Houston Museum of Fine Art, The Museum of Natural Science, The Childrens Museum, The Health Museum, The Holocaust Museum, The Funeral Museum, St. Thomas University/ Museum, the galleries surrounding the university. The zoo, Rice University, and lastly, the texas medical center, where you hope to walk through awesome buildings, not IN the buildings.
We have an amazing range of nightlife options.

My city rocks. but you need cash. lots of it.

Then, if you venture outside the city, there's sooooo much to do. I wont go into it.
But it involves fruit orchards and Old Town Spring, which is a bunch of stores with antique facades, and it super fun. Lakes, farms, Nature trails, Forests..

 

here, we've got an art museum and a COSI, and the baseball stadium is pretty cool; basically if you're walking down the street downtown, you're also walking along the top of the seating area looking down onto the field. a lot of minor fun things around here, but no major points of interest.

where i'm from, which is still not too far from here, we've got the birthplace of thomas edison and cedar point, the world's best amusement park.

 

Largest smokestack in the world...not exactly a Hippie attraction

 

the rainforest.

 

you could go on a river raft trip through the Colorado river or hike (or take a mule ride) down to Phantom ranch and spend the day fishing.
Or just spend the day up top at the rim and watch the squirrels here try to steal guests food, or maybe watch some crazy-ass foreigner get to close to the elk...cuz they think the elk are tame & trained.

 

There's nothing here....



I dunno.

 

City limits.... 7000ft. most everything is downhill from here ... easy to go up another 4000 tho.

So mountains, desert, art, science, and God lives here too

 

Park and swings.
Local pub but you'd be on your own there.
Town centre and cinema.
Bowling alley, they have air hockey and dance games.

Definitely the valley park. It's pretty big, pretty sweet and pretty green.
In summer you could go sailing. We also have a lot of cycle paths here. It's pretty green actually, a lot of grass and trees.

The area where I live has a big hippy culture. Alot of hippy looking people here, VW vans everywhere, dreadlocks, barefoot, the whole vibe. Alot of people ride bikes or walk or take public transit, alot are big into the organic food/yoga/health conscious lifestyle. Definitely some fun places to hang out in town. There's an ice cream parlor that has really unusual flavors and they're really good... like White Russian, Cardamom, Lemon Mint, jalapeno, and huckleberry... all locally made. And right around the corner is an awesome pizza place with outdoor deck seating. A big local music scene too.

It's very beautiful around here with views of the mountains and all the evergreens. And there's lots to do outdoors.. hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, nature walks to gorgeous places. Plus one thing that I just love is the huge trees.. they're just breathtaking... and the SMELL!!! I love how it smells here, definitely not smog.

Below is the town, although I live on the outskirts of it.

 

Where is that?

 

We would deff have to hit up the Jetty Shack for a burger, cold beer and a game of pool. Then down to the beach for a game of horse shoes or some kite boarding!

 

Bluesafire,

Yes, you are in a very magical place. I so enjoyed being up there a number of years ago.
If and when I get off this mountain... PacNw is where I want to go

 

my neighborhood in boston - i'd check out Castle Island and walk along there and down the beaches

touristy stuff in boston - i love the aquarium. i hear the duck boats are pretty fun from other locals that have gone on them.

gotta check out Fenway Park if you are any bit interested in baseball

lots of cool things to do outside of the touristy area though - i like having people go check out Blue Hill reservations and go hiking.

take a trip down cape cod is fun as well

 

Bellingham, Washington

 

As we fast approach the 30th anniversary of The Accident at Three Mile Island it’s become a tourist Mecca

Hotwater

 

In my home town in Lemoore ,Cal=Lemoore Naval Air station,if you have a desire to see squids galore.Although Yosemite,giant redwoods,many lakes and the coast are close by.Now I live in Springfield-Eugene,Ore and welllllll-there are many,many things to do and see here.You have to come and see the area,the culture- high and low for yourselves.

 

In this town? It's so small you would def find the best food and entertainment at my house. The resturaunts kinda suck around here. I would much rather be home.
In the area? Tahoe is about an hour and a half away and anyone who visits must go kayaking there. It's even better if your husband brings cosmos in water bottles, gets you drunk and you fall out of your kayak into icey Tahoe water.
But yeah, anyone around these parts HAS to go kayaking in Tahoe. It's beautiful. Oh and Dopplegangers Brewery in Carson City. They have the best beer I have ever had. My mom agrees.

 

There's nature 5 miles every single direction out of town, and it's all beautiful.

Then there's the big city where you can sit in a car and watch the blacks committing crime.

 

That's where we are being stationed next! Hopefully, we can find a home in Fresno to buy in time so I don't have to move to another small town, or even worse live in housing.
I love that it's next to Sequoia and Morro bay/San Luis Obispo though. And fresno has a huge arts and crafts community. I know it won't be San Diego, but it's better than middle of nowhere Nevada!
PS-there is nothing wrong with Squids. I am married to one and he works really hard protecting your ass .
