    Do you like where you live ?

    I used to live in Eau Claire, Wi but i recently moved to Live Oak ,Fl. I have never have left the midwest before so i had to get out and do something so my aand my girlfriend got jobs down here over the internet and moved. Sorry to all you florida people but i hate it. I originaly planed to move to Oregon but some friends of mine dont realy like it there either they say lots of drugs and homeless. Not exactly my idea of a place i want to make my forever home. Today I watched a show on travel channel. Now i think i want to move to Montana. Im an outdoors type i like Hikeing,camping(not the sissy car camping i meen real backpacking)fishing and hunting. Things that florida just dosent have that many opertunities for. I plan to do a little deap sea fishing but that about it.

    So tell me do you like where you live and why?

    Re: Do you like where you live ?

    I live wherever the Air Force sends us. And I always like it. Not because there aren't downsides to anyplace we can go...but because there are always UPsides to anyplace we can live...and I choose to find and focus on those benefits. Some places I like more than others....but I don't think I'll ever "hate" where I live.

    I live in South Carolina. The south has its downsides (people who make some of the stereotypes valid, extreme humidity, hardly any actual "winter") but if I moved I would miss the hospitality and the quiet. It's not exactly ideal for a young person though -- unless you dig country music, there are no fun bars to go to, and not a whole lot else to do, except for outdoor activities. I lived in Savannah last year and it was a wonderful place to be, had everything I was looking for... Only problem is it's extremely expensive. 200 grand for a starter home? Uhhh I don't think so.

    Re: Do you like where you live ?

    I live in Keystone Heights Florida. I love Florida. Sorry. I don't take offense at you saying you hate it here though, since you aren't saying it sucks, but that you don't like it.
    This is a TINY town(we have TWO traffic lights, but we put up the 2nd one just to be snooty honestly) and people are generally friendly if they gossip way too much. We have a few fast food spots, a couple of resturants, and gas stations. It's just right. Mind you, most of the residants think I insane for keeping snakes and don't even mention the 5 foot long carnivorous lizards!! But all in all, I like it.
    Florida also makes it possible ot have outdoor cages for those lizards, and later I guess the tortoise. I HATE the cold, I have fibro, so cold really does kill me. As long as I have AC to keep the worst of the heat away I can deal quite well. We're far enough inland that most of the hurricanes are simply REALLY bad storms to us(Think 70+ mph winds and torrential downpour!) but no flooding for me, I'm high and dry.
    So I like it here, I own my home and land, and I'm thinking of moving but only to up the road a little ways in the next few years.
    If I moved... I dunno where I'd even think of going to. Besides.. I can DRIVE to DAYTONA!! WhooO!

    Re: Do you like where you live ?

    i like where i live, for the most part. it is a pretty bad town though. a lot of wannabe mac dres or something. down the street from me is kind of "the ghetto". ive been jacked a couple times this year. one time a couple guys just pulled over and robbed me and 3 of my friends downtown. just saturday we were at the skatepark and while we were on the hill getting water a group of 15 black kids hopped the fence and stole our back pack. me and about 10 other skaters chased em down and they chucked the backpack but kept the camera so we chased them over a fence where they through the camera. and after a big standoff with lots of yelling and aggressiveness (no fighting though) they all got in one car and sped away. hahahahah.

    oh, im in antioch california by the way. the "yay area"! hahahahahah

    Re: Do you like where you live ?

    I live in Va and I gotta say...I kinda like it alot!

    I have awesome neighbors and pretty cool friends.

    Bu if I moved anywhere else...which I doubt will happen since my kids have roots here...I would go to Md.

    I was born there and have family there also.

    plus I hear there is a great ball python breeder in Md!

    I love Texas, I don't want to live anywhere else. I've lived in Kentucky and South Carolina, but Texas is where my heart is.

    North Georgia originally came here because of work and met my soul mate got married and never went back .

    I was born and raised in France I also lived in Glasgow & London and to me to me it’s not as much about the places I live then it is about the connections I make.
