We haven't done one of these in a while but since we have got such a busy board these days, why not?

What is your favorite part of living where you do?

[SassyPants150]

Where are you from? Originally from Kentucky

Where do you live? Charlotte, NC region

What is your favorite part of living where you do? It's a lake town so plenty to see/do/enjoy outside. It's also a relatively small community for a decent sized town so it's nice to pretty much know everyone.

Where are you from? St. Louis, Mo., born and raised Go Cards!!!

Where do you live? Springfield, IL

What is your favorite part of living where you do? Well, the cost of living is cheaper and I love my church. Other than that, I do NOT like it here. I moved here when I married DH because this is were he got a really good job. It is too small for me (although it is not a small town, just a small city). I always said when I was growing up I would never move to Illinois... and here I am. I want to move back to STL so bad...

Hey ladies! My life has finally calmed down enough to where I am lurking a bit more, so I thought I'd say hi.

Where are you from? St. Louis

Where do you live? Just north of St. Louis in Illinois

What is your favorite part of living where you do? It's quiet and not very crowded, but close enough to the city to enjoy the events and activities without too much of a drive!

Where are you from? Dela-Where?

Where do you live? South Eastern PA, in a small town with lots of Amish country .

What is your favorite part of living where you do? Um. It is very pretty and the cost of living is OK. Oh and all the dairy farms around means we get some awesome ice cream. It is in a decent driving distance from cities like Philadelphia, DC, and NYC. But I am not a HUGE fan of the location itself. The town is not cute/nice/thriving enough to be a worthwhile small town (I basically would like to live in Stars Hollow), and it is just too far from good shopping and entertainment (takes at least a half hour to get anywhere with a mall, movie theater, etc).

Where are you from? Ohio

Where do you live? Ohio, but may be relocating to PA in October for DH's new job.

What is your favorite part of living where you do? I like the zoo, and having so many Tim Horton's nearby. The actual area we live in though, I hate- it's not a good area.

[ashb62]

Where are you from? NC

Where do you live? NC

What is your favorite part of living where you do? It's a small town on the outskirts of a big-ish city, so it's kind of the best of both worlds. I live in a quiet, little community, but I'm only 20 minutes away from great shopping, restaurants, etc. It's also GORGEOUS here.

Where are you from? Born and raised at the Jersey Shore

Where do you live? Still at the Jersey Shore, I've only lived outside NJ once and that's when I went to college in DE.

What is your favorite part of living where you do? The beach! Plus being within a quick driving distance to NYC and Philly doesn't hurt.

[Squishy622]

**poof**

I'm being a punk and deleting my answer, it pretty much had my life story in it and I enjoy thinking I have at least a tiny bit of anonymity here

[anakah]

Where are you from? Was in DE up to 5th grade before moving to a medium sized town in South Texas

Where do you live? Houston

What is your favorite part of living where you do? There's a lot to see and do and affordable living.

[chiwifey]

Where are you from? SC

Where do you live now? northern burbs of Chicago

What is your favorite part of living where you do? having a white Christmas usually... that's something you dream of when growing up in SC and now I finally get to have it I also love late summer here. It's beautiful and we have many trails and forest preserves right out our front door.

[elvenqueen]

Where are you from? Vancouver/Lower Mainland, BC

Where do you live? Norfolk, UK

What is your favorite part of living where you do? We're surrounded by countryside and coastlines, and live outside a city full of Cathedrals, a castle, and dozens of several hundred-year-old churches. It's utterly, utterly beautiful.

sugar4bri, I'm from the Jersey Shore too! Born and raised!


Where are you from? NJ - shore area.

Where do you live? NJ - northern area.

What is your favorite part of living where you do? We relocated to north Jersey for my doctoral program but we really don't enjoy it up here. Hoping to move back down towards our families and buying a house in the near future. I love living in NJ because my whole family is here and it's close to both Philly and NYC!

What is your favorite part of living where you do? I love being so close to Lake Tahoe!

Where do you live now? I have lived all over WA and am still here!

What is your favorite part of living where you do? I am close to the coast and mountains. I would hate to live in a landlocked state.

[marshaleigh]

From? Charlotte, NC region

Living? Sofia, Bulgaria

Favorite part? I've lived internationally for 9 years (7 in Asia and 2 in Bulgaria). I love traveling and visiting new places on a regular basis. Being in a Europe gives me a whole new area to explore.

[schmella]

Where are you from? Near-west suburbs of Chicago

Where do you live? Near-west suburbs of Chicago, approximately 2 miles from where I grew up

What is your favorite part of living where you do? Being walking distance to public transportation that could take me to downtown Chicago in 20 minutes while having deer in my backyard, and forest preserves all around. Knowing I'll raise my children in a diverse environment where incredible cultural experiences abound.

[chiwifey]

@feegan I was just reading through this GTKY and totally agree! That would be so fun!

[schmella]

@feegan, chiwifey, sounds like fun to me!
@feegan, DH is from Michigan, about an hour outside Detroit, and a lot of his family is there. It's a lovely place to visit, and if he ever pushed, I would be willing to move, but job opportunities here and the culture in his home town are Not what we're looking for.

[kbrooke06]

Where are you from? Born in Salinas, CA, but moved to Fresno, CA before schooling.

Where do you live now? After bouncing around between WA state and all over SoCal, I'm settled about an hour north of LA now.

What is your favorite part of living where you do? We live a about 3 miles from the beach, so the weather is amazing year round. But, the water is too cold here, so we don't spend much time actually at the beach. It's got a small town vibe but close to many attractions/LA.

Where are you from? Rural south va

Where do you live? Rural south VA

What is your favorite part of living where you do? My mom is next door & all my family is here giving us tons of support...but we're only 1-2 hours from tons of cool places to take DS (& the babies once they're here).

Where are you from? A suburb of Philadelphia

Where do you live? Scottsdale

What is your favorite part of living where you do? I love the weather! The summer is brutal but it is so gorgeous here throughout the year. It's also a resort town so there are tons of amazing restaurants and spas. It's incredibly clean here too. Also we have great hiking, preserves etc.
