What do you love?

With all the freaky weather this year, we've all had a lot of complaints about where we live. So I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to what we love about our towns, cities, or general area where we live!

I love living in DFW. To me, variety truly is the spice of life, and we definitely have that here! If you like pro sports, we have basketball, hockey and football teams. I run into the players for all 3 teams all the time, which is pretty cool. We also have tons of college teams if that's your thing.
In the fall, there are so many festivals around here, it's crazy. We have the Texas State Fair, Taste Addison, Grapefest and Oktoberfest.
The shopping here is also amazing. There are malls and shops here that people travel from around the world to shop at. I love shopping, so I'm always looking for the good sales.
There are so many radio stations here, you can find any music you'd like to listen to. And if you like talk radio, well we have Russ Martin. Haha, there are others, but Russ is the coolest. We also have clubs/bars for every taste.
There's never "nothing to do" here. We have museums, aquariums, zoos..including the Ft. Worth Zoo, which Steve Irwin was very fond of.
Oh, and there are some amazing 5 star hotels here, so come on down, ya'll! The people here are very friendly until they get on the major highways :rolleyes:

So come on, tell everyone what you love about where you live! Provide pictures of interesting sights, too!

Hehehe...DFW is definitely great for all those reasons! (They have baseball too, even. :P ) The only pro-sports guy I ever ran into though was Don Meridith and he was long-since retired from football at the time. Was a regular customer for a short time at a 7-11 I managed back in the day. My sister worked there too and he used to try and give her dating advice. (I had a steady boyfriend so I didn't need any I guess.) Dandy-Don....really nice guy!


I've lived quite a few places and could make a list like this for all of them. Part of what keeps me sane in moving so much is finding the great things about any location and focusing on them.

San Antonio is one of my favorites, though. The Spurs are probably my all-time ever favorite sports team of any sports...ever! LOL Gently rolling hills and gorgeous wild flowers in the spring. GREAT Hispanic culture and activities as well as a really fun "Old West" feel. The Alamo is fascinating. The zoo is very nice. The RiverWalk is beautiful and oh-so pleasant on a warm summer night. An easy drive down south for a day at the beach!! Close enough to DFW to visit relatives as often as desired, but not so close that we have to visit all the time. :P And....SEA WORLD!!! :D

I love my ADD and perfectionism. The combo has me discovering so many things that I love, before mastering them and finding something new to enjoy and learn. I also love Grolsch and Pilsner Urquell, slightly chilled to 65 degrees. I can't think of anything I love about where I live.

I love the rural area where I live in NH.
The wildlife viewing is excellent, everyone in town knows your name, and all you can see are trees pretty much everywhere you go :)

I love that we are close enough to Dartmouth University to get great medical care and a bit of 'culture' like the film festivals and arts performances at the school.

I love puttering in my yard and hearing only the wind blowing up the valley.

I love the utter lack of traffic :)

Where I lives SUCKS!!!!!! LOL sorry had to be honest.

I love my house, and here's why....

~wistful sigh~ Wow....that's nice....

I love Utah!

With less then an hour of traveling I can get to:
Desert
Sand dunes
A Lake
Forest
Mountains
Rivers
Ski resort
granite rock climbing
quartzite rock climbing
Big City
Farm towns

Short of the beach or a rain forest we pretty much have it all.
I love the fact that I am close enough to the mountains that I can be herping with a 10 minute drive.

I also loooove the low humidity (except for my snakies sake).
