Post some photos of where you live

and my town puts the bland in suburbland. folks too old to be yuppies acting like the old riche. where I live is like... where the Sopranos was based.

Ohio is pretty at least.

 

i know those streets

 

Yeah I do lol .. I am wondering about the bridge pic though, its never that empty haha, always jammed.

 

I see the U.S. Policy on Urban Renewal is showing progress

Along the Erie Canal



Highland Park

 

Yeah, parts are. its hard for me to even go back there now. the town i grew up in is really growing and being infested with walgreens and gigantic churches. the churches even have their own restaurants and skate parks! seriously.. wtf.

I do miss the countryside and the deciduous forests.. and the smell of the leaves after they fall and start to decompose.. its excellent.

 

Yeah, that's Mt. Hood. I live in Hillsboro, which is between Portland and the beach.

Mt. St. Helens is about 50 miles north

 

Matt, those are beautiful pics of rochester. i used to live outside of rochester, in fairport, when i was a kid. new york will always have a place in my heart.

 

Whoa, no way! I didn't know that.

 

Sully's


the beach (one part of it)


west broadway - st. paddy's day parade

 

Yup, it was sweet. I liked it alot. I remember crossing the canal daily.. when i was a kid i would say "hi canal, bye canal!!!!!" every time we crossed it. weird. :tongue:

I would like to go back and visit some day. I did a while ago (years..) and it was beautiful, just like I remembered. they had an awesssommmeee toy shop in fairport

 

Cool parade, love the 18th century outfits

 

I'm not posting any picks of this quaint bourgeois town, but here's some of where I grew up in NYC:

 

cool, i like the 2nd one. i didnt know you grew up in NYC. i can see that... you've got that vibe about ya..

 

Wow, I don't know what kind of Bostonians you've been meeting. lol...I thought we were all uppity pricks.

 

Ohio misses you too.

not much is uglier than a walgreens, except maybe a new church (though I like old ones).

 

i do well with uppity pricks i can tame them

 

id have to agree there. and starbucks seem to be the acne of growing US cities. they pop up fucking everywhere once a town starts to expand..

the new churches really freak me out. they're like, private clubs. and they want you to spend a bunch of money there. they have GIFT SHOPS!
talk about being led astray. not that i do the whole church thing, but damn, i feel bad for those kids being brainwashed into morality and materialism.

 

Yep, a lot of canals.

 

Your home town looks a lot like spooner's hometown. Wait, are you the same person?
