If it was all possible, I would send you off to another planet :rofl:

California has some nice rural areas to visit. You can drive to northern Calif and visit Hearst Castle.

I lived in California for nine years andI loved living there! No snow! I lived in Northern California , I was up near Humboldt ,it was beautiful up there! Oceanblue7 have you been up to that part of California? I wonder what it looks like now!
 
I live pretty close to Canada's nation's capital of Ottawa. It is a fairly bilingual town with half the people speaking English as their native tongue and half the people speaking French as their native tongue. The English population is growing and we have about 8000 people, up about 5-6 thousand from when I was little. We have a terrible mayor who wants to move on to higher politics :roll:, but he won't get far because he'll still have to run in the same district and no one wants him. We are making large advancements residentially, but not industrially because one particular company seems to think they run the town. We need a new council that is willing to stand up for the county and get us more stores to support the growing population. Right now we are lacking it. Oh yes, and we have one particular bylaw that a large percentage of the county was against, but because a few busybodies decided they were going to be the town heros, the stupid mayor decided with it. We now are paying higher taxes because the bylaw is being fought in Ontario Supreme Court (it is discriminatory), so we need to pay for our county's lawyers.
 
I live in north central West Virginia all I can say its a boring town but we do have the Stawberry Festival evey year and also have WVWC.
 
I live in a little bitty town called Gonzales. My town only has about 2000 people in it. My entire family lives here, all my aunts and uncles and cousins. Everyone usually knows everyone's business here because it's so small.

I am a teacher so no matter where I go there's always some kids who get all excited and yell, "Hi Mrs. Perez!" :lol:
 
I live in a suburban city of Shoreline which is right next door north of Seattle. There's not really anything special about this town but it's full of tall coniferous trees and suburban homes, some cliffs that meet Puget Sound with a beautiful view, several creeks thru ravines, some parks with coniferous forests, a large Shoreline community center nearby my home.

There's a major arterial street called Aurora Ave N (hwy 99) which has a long line of businesses and it's 6 lane street, but 1 lane each way is for buses only. City center which is around 175th St and Aurora Ave N, there's not much there to see except a brand new city hall was built recently. Hwy 99 runs from Tacoma all the way to Everett, so it's a really long state highway that runs from a grade seperated highway to a major street thru cities and suburbs, etc. I-5 runs north and south in middle of Shoreline as well there is a North Base which is a big bus home base right off I-5 not far from Seattle city limits.
 
I now live in a BIG melting pot of the south with Jamacains, Haitians, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Mexicans as well as us good ole Americans. We have menus with Spanish, Creole and English all on it. All of the signs in the grocery stores have all 3 languages as well. And the part my son hates, a lot of the city and county building are all in Tropical Pink!! We have the VERY well to do on the island, the well to do and the not so well to do. Movie and television stars and PIP (Pretty Important People) and those that we are somewhat embarrassed to claim (think the elections with the "hanging chads") That's good ole West Palm Beach.

Last month, Charleston was listed among the nation's top destinations by readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Charleston placed second behind San Francisco.

About 4 million people visit Charleston each year.

Charleston and the rest of the South Carolina coast are the heart of the state's $18 billion tourism industry.
