Your City/Town

[Fusion X. Denver]

I live in a small suburban town in New Jersey. My neighborhood's nestled between a bunch of hills and woods, so it's pretty quiet around here. And there's this one road a minute from my house that you can drive along with a killer view of New Jersey; you can even see the GW Bridge in the far-off distance.

Not much to do around here, but there are nice places to eat and shop.

I live in a city in the Seattle area that has the name of a road.

Show me around Seattle if I ever go <3

Near Montreal.

Lucky f***.

 

Grew up an hour west of Boston, now living there for school and hopefully afterwards for my adult working-y life. Lovely city (except in the winter) and I wouldn't have gone anywhere else. Problem is that cost of living may push me out further towards Western Mass, but... eh. As long as I'm in the New England area I think I'll be happy.

I love also that we have this local kids toy shop that sells Magic, Pokemon, and YGO cards up the wazoo. Always get new packs from them at great prices.

I must live in a tamer part of Oʻahu, then. 

 

For reference, I live in ʻEwa, which is about 21 or so miles east of Icy (as far as Google is concerned). It's mostly residential with a few schools and shopping centers (not like neighboring Waipahu/Kapolei). Also minimal violence, bar for some flare-ups here and there (and local high school fights prior to 2010; possibly a few random things).

 

Because most of my business is in Honolulu (school, social stuff, shopping centers), I generally have to take the bus (for school) to/from there, or drive. But otherwise, I like living here. (At the very least, there aren't too many homeless like downtown has lately)

 

----

P.S. Oahu and Oʻahu mean the exact same thing; latter is written as it appears in Hawaiian with the ʻokina (I have to do this because college is very particular about how you use words from the language). 

 

I need to visit Ewa some day soon, just so I can say I've been there. Furthest I've been is that glass hospital building with all the specialist doctors in it. Which is like less than a block off the highway... lol.

Oh yeah I can say for me too. I live in a...not exactly small but...yeah a small city in Wisconsin, near the border of Michigan. As in, I could walk to Michigan in half an hour or less from my house. the city in Michigan next to ours is connected by a small bridge, we're basically twin cities, but in two different states.

It's....boring. There's not much of anything...that I'm interested in at least.

We have SOME trails and wooded areas but most of them are pretty badly kept and not anything special.

The buildings we have are basically fast food, churches, and bars. Like I think we were in a record book for most bars per square feet or something similar.

We even have a psuedo ghetto. An area that used to be a swamp until people decided it'd be good idea to put houses there. It wasn't a great plan.

We don't even have a mall anymore cause the rent is too high so there's like, 5 stores in it. Two of which are clothing. I miss the Arcade....

 

More/less I dislike my city but it's nothing I'm too bothered by. At least it's fairly easy to get around.

Though we do have a massive drug problem, and a lotta idiots who want to be gangsters. It's ridiculous the attitude of the 14-30 year olds.

Of course many of the older people are drunks or extremely judgemental.

 

God I ranted a lot didn't I? Guess I had a lot to say.

[Catman25]

I'm in Ann Arbor, Michigan for one more month, not sure where I'll end up after that

 

It's a pretty cool town if you're into the college scene

I need at least three tour guides

At least we have a hospital now; for a good while, if something happened, going to Pali Momi in Pearl City was not the best idea (since the hospital that was originally where QMC West is now went bankrupt and shut down). 

 

But yeah, aside from some small shopping centers, not really much you can do. I know President Obama went over to the golf course here during his vacation in the islands (that was a bit surprising). 

[The Nyx Avatar]

I live in a town; urban, to be more specific. It's pretty convenient; my home's driveway leads to a road/street, there's plenty of places to eat and purchase groceries within minutes, a bank that's only five minutes away at best, a couple of family members not too far, and both my college and a hospital are only about a 15 minute drive from my home. There's also a fair amount of trees, but not to the point where it looks like a forest. And it's a relatively safe area.

[Makο]

Some city in LA County. Been living here practically my whole life.

 

It's fine, I guess. Nothing really happens here, ever. Biggest draw is a semi-famous amusement park.

Yea but part of the beauty of a high population island with a lot of shopping centers is the nuances between the different items you find at otherwise identical stores.

Phoenix, Arizona, waaaaay the funk out in the suburbs. It's pretty nice. Lots of hiking and good restaurants here, and I like the weather (though I think I'm one of the only people who actually likes the weather in summer here). Always a shitton of car accidents, though, which I guess is what happens when the driver's license test is to parallel park, then drive around the block of the MVD.

Syracuse/liverpool NY. a wonderful terrible place/ it's supposed to be a relatively quiet city, but people just can't seem to stop getting shot/chased by the cops at night.

[The Amazing Avian]

Somewhere in South Texas. It's a pretty quiet place despite how ghetto it is. If you're ever down here, venture no further West than Mission. Past that there's nothing of real interest except for my residence.

[Night]

I live in a small city called new york, not much to do here, pretty quiet and forgettable place

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

I live right on the Canada/US border. Detroit sends us all it's pollution and dead bodies via the river.

When Detriot sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing their dead. They’re bringing pollution. They’re homeless. And some, I assume, are good people

I was making a joke. People come from Detroit all the time to Windsor for its night life scene. Downtown Windsor is packed with clubs, pubs and bars. Plus the casino. I meet Americans all the time there. Most are good people.

I live in a quite small town in northern Italy. The most exciting thing that happens here is the carnival (which i hate). Also, a few years ago a big earthquake happened in the area and since our major sucks, the town hasn't changed much since the months right after the earthquake. At least the weather is often foggy/rainy (my favourite kind of weather).

Sheffield, UK. It's a city of just over half a million just north of the centre of England. It's built on steelworks which largely shut down in the 80s leading to the sort of dilapidation that you see in every northern industrial town in England, although it does still produce a few high-quality steel products and went through a pretty major renovation project in the late 90s and the 00s which means it's nowhere near as run-down as other nearby places, and it's actually a pretty pleasant place to live. There are definitely some grim areas (with grim people) and during uni time my flat is not exactly in the nicest location but large parts of the city are very pleasant and especially good if you're like me and enjoy walking since there are all kinds of parks and woodlands which mean you can walk around almost the entire southern half of the city without walking on any roads at all. It's also right next to a national park which is good for a variety of things.

 

I could do a lot worse really, it's not the nicest place on earth but it definitely has a lot of things going for it, it's just small enough to avoid the bustle of really big cities like London and Manchester but it's definitely a proper city with a real urban feel to it. I'm pretty happy here, and luckily I get to stay for at least 2 more years until I complete my degree at which point I may leave for pastures new.

Live in a town in Ontario. This town's fine, it's got what I need, I guess? I mean it could have a bigger variety of shops or something but it's too small for that. My family's moving though and I'm heading off to university in Toronto so I'm probably never coming back. Been here for over 13 years.
