Post a pic of somewhere you've lived

[HEyHEY]

I used to live here.... Woodstock, N.B.
I wasn't a big fan of it.

[flamingyouth]

1. I grew up in Ballard in Seattle...

[flamingyouth]

62. I now live in Montlake in Seattle:

[Fenris]

63. Pretty Montlake.

:)

[flamingyouth]

64. In just a little over three months...

:loveya:

[Fenris]

65. Whee!

:loveya:

[flamingyouth]

66. I hope you're bringing your Phil Ochs records!

MISCREANT! ;)

[Fenris]

67. You have most of the records, hon.

;)

[flamingyouth]

68. Who, moi?

:rofl:

[Fenris]

69. Just a few rooms full

;)

[flamingyouth]

70. It's still a damn good collection, I think.

:thumbsup:

[Fenris]

72. Probably one of the bests in the city, if not the state.

:)

[Richardo]

2. The 'Burgh

[mdmc]

4. thats a cool looking City!

peace!

[Richardo]

8. One of the coolest...

:)

[JVS]

5. I lived a bit to the right of this picture and far back

[Richardo]

9. I actually lived to the left of that pic and far back...

...but I couldn't find a pic of East Rochester. :hi:

[JVS]

3. Ok

went to church here


and here

[donheld]

150. Now why don't you tell us ignorant few

where that is?

[JVS]

164. Augsburg Germany. The first church is where Martin Luther was kept...

in 1518 for his "conversation"/"intense questioning" by Cardinal Catejan.

[progmom]

6. well...

I grew up here:


then lived here:


then lived here:

[GirlinContempt]

7. I've lived here and loved it:

Lived here and didn't love it so much:

http://mq-mapgend.websys.aol.com/?e=9&GetMapDirect=Gme5diw%2ca%3a9u12%3b%40%245l%2dz5g472%26%3dtw%21w7a067%3ah%2drxu48s%26z%40nhwr5q%402x5y8%3a9uy2%3bu%24nu67%7c%26a7aq%40%24%3a%26%40rx%21yr0d67%3a%29z1%26q6tau6%24%3a%26ur2u%2da%7c%26yt29%40%24

[HEyHEY]

10. ah...Montreal

:-)

[GirlinContempt]

12. God, I want to be back in Montreal

wtf is up with peoples Toronto worship?
Montreal is a dreamy place to live

[HEyHEY]

17. The CBC hypes it so much - I think that's it

[JVS]

18. Anglophone conspiracy, no doubt about it

[HEyHEY]

25. I actually agree on this one

[JVS]

28. I guess it's for the best. The last thing Montreal needs is more English..

speakers.

Death to the occupation!

[HEyHEY]

31. Vive' le Quebec Libre!

[JVS]

32. Oui!

[Jemmons]

51. Aarhus, Denmark

[JVS]

33. And keep the Danes and Norwegians out of Iceland!

With their nasty bastardizations of the Old-Western-North-Germanic tounge!

[HEyHEY]

35. And groups like Aqua

[ronnykmarshall]

132. I had a guy kiss me for saying that.

One year during the Gay Pride parade in SF there was a group of people with various flags. I saw this HOT guy w/ the Quebec flag and I shouted ..... VIVE' le Quebec .... he waved at me and I added Vive' le Quebec Libre!!

The rest was make out city!

GOD I was such a slut!


On a different Canadian note .... my step-mom is from Alberta and gets pissed when I talk how cool I think Quebec is.

[yvr girl]

11. Here's a few

The street I grew up on


Location, location, location


I now live just a few blocks from the bottom left-hand corner of this picture.

[DS1]

23. It looks a lot like Boston

only efficient, and pretty, with actual blue water :D

[yvr girl]

34. I'm sure you have sidewalks older than anything in Vancouver

We have 'heritage' building less than 100 years old.

See, we're all shiny and new looking


Efficient - we have more space than you, and our drivers are more laid back, but traffic sucks and the transit system needs a lot of work. (Which they are doing.)

Pretty - absolutely.

Blue and COLD water - but we have lots of beaches

[tigereye]

108. damn!

no wonder everyone wants to go there! Mountains and the sea. What more could you ask.

[HEyHEY]

29. I'm so glad to be back in Van-city!

I'm living, at the moment, across the water in that little cluster of homes

[yvr girl]

42. Is that the marina along Barnett?

[HEyHEY]

47. Nope, Rocky point

[yvr girl]

Would have been my next guess

When are we going sailing?

[HEyHEY]

50. Sometime, maybe this summer

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I just found this

while googling photos of my home town. I grew up two blocks from here; it was kind of a neighborhood landmark, and everybody knew Bob Forgnone.

The photo was taken in 1965, when I was 9.

I'm doin' some serious memory trippin'.

[anarch]

14. a couple blocks from me...

I lived here for a while, too:

[Arugula Latte]

102. Adams Morgan in DC?

Cool!

I used to live in Glover Park.

[GOPisEvil]

15. I was born in the city where this is. I lived here until age 2.

[u4ic]

16. I spent part of a summer in Woodstock - 86

That place was a soap opera of its own. :rofl:

I used to live in Fort McMurray...the Northern Lights were amazing there...

[HEyHEY]

19. Dude, that has NOT changed!

Got, it was an awful place to live.. the hinky dinky is still there though!

[Richardo]

20. Our company is involved in a project south of Ft McMurray...

Tar sands recovery, as you might guess...

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Milwaukee, Wisconsin is prettier than you may think....

[JVS]

22. Looks great

[mdmc]

24. very nice!

peace!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

60. I like Milwaukee...

:)

[KitchenWitch]

158. I love the lakefront in Milwaukee

My mom was born in South Milwaukee...

[ScreamingMeemie]

159. I was born on 44th Street....

Okay not ON 44th street. That's where my parents lived at the time. I was born at St. Joseph's. :hi: So much of my history is right there. :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

161. Cool!

My Grandpa's house was on Milwaukee Avenue in South Milwaukee, just catty corner across the street from the water tower!

[asthmaticeog]

26. A large picture of my small former dwelling

[progmom]

27. before your family kicked you out?

[asthmaticeog]

30. Yes, those were dark days.

I mean *seriously* dark -- that crescent-moon cutout did NOT let much light in.

[Misunderestimator]

36. Here are a few:

[lpbk2713]

75. I recognize Tampa

And maybe the Chrysler Bldg in New York in pic #2.

But that's it.

[Misunderestimator]

77. Pic #2 is Philadelphia.... pic #5 is NY

Dallas, Philadelphia, Houston, Santa Fe, New York, Central City CO, Munich, middle of nowhere upstate NY, Tampa, and Ann Arbor... among others

[yellowdogmi]

99. is the one right before the last one lansing?

It sure looks like it.

[Misunderestimator]

103. That's Tampa.

the last is Ann Arbor though :)

[Call Me Wesley]

37. Kilchberg, Zurich, Switzerland.

And that's the Thomas Mann house. I lived in the neighborhood.

[Burma Jones]

38. Pound Ridge, NY

Right next to the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation

[XNASA]

39. For a while, I more or less lived here.

[HEyHEY]

41. The bar, or the dirty movie theatre?

[XNASA]

45. They're both kinda connected.

So I'll say 'yes'.

[BrotherBuzz]

40. Native of this little village

[HEyHEY]

43. Are there many Italians in Sausilito?

[BrotherBuzz]

44. Yes, but historically more Portuguese

[Heidi]

143. Beautiful, BrotherBuzz.

Looks a lot like our little area:

[Fenris]

46. Moorpark, CA

[JVS]

48. Bad smog, eh?

[Fenris]

53. It's on fire.

That's how I remember Southern California - on fire.

[Richardo]

55. Garry Owens often said on the air: "Moorpark. Don't spell that backwards."

:rofl: Early 70s shock-jock material.

[Fenris]

57. Damn straight!

:D

[hunter]

83. Moorpark was the first nuclear powered city.

November 12, 1957.

There was some really scary shit going on in those hills.

Still is, with the Reagan Library and all. Some of them people protecting the sacred legacies of Saint Ronald got razors in their shoes.

[yurbud]

92. SoCal fire is like rain in other parts of country--we barely notice

but we go into a tizzy if it rains.

[Redstone]

129. No shit? I have a REAL close friend who lives in Moorpark.

Though she says it's not as nice as last time I was there, having gotten real built up.

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

49. .

[Lydia Leftcoast]

52. I lived near here in Tokyo

But now I live around the corner from here (in Minneapolis)




But before that, I lived in this building in Portland.

[graywarrior]

54. Rockport Ma

My house was at the end of the street

[Radical Activist]

56. Knoxville

I lived within spitting distance of this long shaft and ball. I can't say what motivated them to build it.

[XemaSab]

58. Arcata, CA

[GoddessOfGuinness]

59. Baltimore

I lived very close to this:

[terrya]

61. I used to live here...but I like Chicago much better.

Sorry, Dallas.

[Misunderestimator]

71. I've liked almost every place I've lived more than that.

;) And I lived there for 10 years.

[deadparrot]

73. St. Louis, MO.

[SofaKingLiberal]

74. I used to live in one of these:

[Arugula Latte]

104. I did too. It was comfortable, and convenient, but the view sucked. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

76. This is the only picture I have available....my town, Manhattan Beach...

[pointblank]

78. Wantagh, NY

[hunter]

79. Okay...

I stole the picture, but it's pretty much the same car.

A very nice preacher let me park it behind his church.

The university library had a section that was open 24 hours, and I had a locker in the university gym, so it wasn't all that bad.

[Momgonepostal]

80. Lived in San Luis Obispo, CA for 3 years

But it wasn't this green...

[swag]

81. In the immortal words of Bill Maney,

"Goodbye, Havre, you suck-ass town."

[tigereye]

109. so

that accounts for your Russian-like love of the thoughtful arts? Lots of time for contemplation, I bet.

[swag]

134. Oh, I don't know.

What was it like for you coming up?

[tigereye]

151. idyllic small town in SWPA

everyone knew everyone, safe, lots of kids to play with, fun. It also seems rather gentrified in retrospect, at least compared to where I live now.

But, there is no Thai food, no museums, bagel shops or music nuts, so I can't really live there again, as nice as it is for people with kids....

[Reciprocity]

82. My husband and I were park rangers here for five summers.

Alley Mill is located six miles west of Eminence, Missouri.

[xmas74]

91. I know where that's at! n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

117. I've been there!

Round Spring, right? Huge mill, not far from the Big Piney...

[Momgonepostal]

84. Sassari, Sardinia, Italy

I lived here for 5 months in 1990-91:

[neweurope]

85. Here's where I spent my first three years as a journalist:

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. I lived in this street.


Here's the town where I was born with it's beautiful old castle: Wertheim, Germany.



------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[Flying Dream Blues]

154. I stayed a few days on my own in Rothenburg...a really nice town!

[neweurope]

155. Yes, it is...and now that I'm remembering that time

I think I'll pay it a visit in spring! :hi:

---------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[Redstone]

86. This is the general store that was next door

when I was a kid.

There are more pictures of the town at the site.

[RetroLounge]

87. I lived here for 3 months in the spring of 1990

Not in the house, in the car...

RL

[yvr girl]

95. I want to hear that story

[RetroLounge]

112. I was not pretty...

It involved:

The 1st ex-wife
Much alcohol
a 20 yr old girlfriend
way too many drugs
A flawed decision making process
No job

Quite ugly, actually...

RL

[yvr girl]

113. Wow, that sounds rough

You've come a long way, baby.

Is that when you filled your quota?

[RetroLounge]

122. My quota plus some I borrowed...

:rofl:

RL

[yvr girl]

127. I'm sure you had my share

My life has been quite moderate compared to yours.

[hunter]

114. Whew. I was just plain crazy.

No sex, drugs, alcohol, or music. (My radio was broken.)

[RetroLounge]

123. My radio worked just fine

as did the other three you mentioned... :D

RL

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

88. Marseille

the land of bouillabaisse and pastis. I spent one year in this city and went to a French High School when my father had to go to Vietnam for a tour of duty in the mid 1960s. It was quite a transition for me from American High School to French High School but a very enriching experience.

[NNadir]

89. Hermosa Beach, California

[CaliforniaPeggy]

105. My dear NNadir!

When did you live there? I live next door in Manhattan Beach, and have since Dec. 1968!

Hermosa is indeed a beautiful little town....

I used to work for the Easy Reader newspaper too, back in the late 60's and early 70's.....

This pic of yours is very recent too.....Cool!

[NNadir]

107. I know you live in Manhattan from the beautiful pics you post.

I lived in Hermosa in 1974-5, on Beach Dr. between the Strand and Hermosa Ave in a small apartment over a garage.

I left to attend to my mother's death and returned to Hermosa between 1976 - 1978.

I shared a house, on 10 th and Loma with some other fellows and later moved into the house next door.

For many years at low tide I would run between the Hermosa and Manhattan Piers on the beach, and at high tide on the Strand. I often used to ride the bike path from Hermosa up to Santa Monica, and even took several trips up to Malibu on my bike.

Later, after I married, my wife and I lived for a time in North Redondo in the mid 80's and then moved to San Diego.

That was many lives ago. It was a wonderful place to live, especially when I was as young as you you always are, but unlike you, I have aged.

Fond memories aside, I confess that I love where I am now. No offense, but I like it here in New Jersey better.

[hunter]

152. Well, if you didn't date my sister or hire my best friend's wife, okay.

If not, I was the crazy guy.

Sometimes I miss Southern California, especially swimming in the ocean, but mostly I don't.

I escaped because I needed to escape. Southern California was not a good place for me to be.

[NNadir]

153. One would hope that any relationship I may or may not have had with

your sister or best friend's wife had no impact on your need to leave Southern California.

If I was involved with your sister - and I'm not saying I was or wasn't - I probably asked her not to tell you about it.

:hi: ;-)

[matcom]

90. not sure what the zip code was

110. oh Ronny

that is where I wished I lived. And I have wanted to for about 25 years! We did get to visit, though. It is such a beautiful town.

[ronnykmarshall]

131. I loved my time there so much.

I still consider myself a San Franciscan in so many way. 14 years I lived there. I treasure my memories there. Maybe again one day. But LA ain't so bad either.

[tigereye]

149. don't think I could live there

I mean, I'm over 40 and I don't even believe in make-up.

[yurbud]

96. I lived on an island in Alaska about 1/4 mile wide one summer

with about a dozen people tops. The buildings we lived and worked in are on the left side of the island.

[LSK]

97. Des Plaines, IL

I was destined to leave. My parents and sister havnt gotten the clue yet thou.

[yellowdogmi]

101. Where did you go? Park Ridge?

Just joking.

[tuvor]

98. Vang-Q-verr. Here's a pic of the Burrard Street Bridge

[CaliforniaPeggy]

118. Okay, you're on!

I'm guessing this is in the Northwest.....Washington state, or Oregon...

:shrug:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

119. Wrong country.

That is a beautiful picture.

[sakabatou]

126. The Tall Tree, CA

[lectrobyte]

128. I hate when I'm trying to google up a pic of my old town, and I keep

getting more Republican scandal shit.

http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/xp-18863

GATE CITY - Tough as it was to lose by two votes, Mark Jenkins was ready to accept defeat graciously in the May election for mayor of this mountain gap town that calls itself a city. Then Jenkins called to congratulate incumbent Mayor Charles Dougherty. His opponent commented that they both ran a clean campaign. "That made the hair stand up on the back of my neck," Jenkins said.

Jenkins went on to file a lawsuit that invalidated the election and exposed what he says is a long-standing practice in Scott County: Some candidates aggressively recruit absentee voters, encouraging them to lie about their reasons for not being able to vote on Election Day.

Although not named in the lawsuit, a key figure in the controversy is Willie Mae Kilgore - the voter registrar of Scott County and the mother of Jerry Kilgore, the former attorney general who is running for governor.

To Jenkins, the numbers alone seemed suspicious. About one of every five votes in the Gate City mayor's race was cast by absentee ballot. Dougherty claimed 87 percent of the absentee votes to win the election 357-355.

[Left Is Write]

130. My hometown. Sort of. In brochure form.

[SeattleGirl]

133. I lived here when I was in first grade

Newark, Arkansas:


Population is less than 1,000. "Downtown" is two blocks long, one side of the street. My first grade teacher was also my dad's first grade teacher.

[Heidi]

147. I was born about

90 miles from Newark, Arkansas. :loveya:

[MrScorpio]

135. Bitburg AB Housing - I miss this place

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

136. I can't help but think: Ramones, "Bonzo goes to Bitburg" when I see that.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

137. I lived there from about 1954 to 1956

I was about 5 years old when my Dad was transferred there for 2 years, with an additional year at Wiesbaden Air Force base after that. As kids, we used to play in the big open fields that were nearby. You could find foxholes and rusted out German helmets in that field. There was a little creek and lots of bushes growing next to it at the edge of the base housing in which we kids had cut passages and forts. We found two rusted German machine guns with tripods and ammo belts in the bushes and we used to play war games with them until our alarmed parents took them away. There was also the French Caserne nearby and we used to watch French infantry soldiers doing war maneuvers in that same large field before being sent to the Algerian War. And from the bedroom window of our apartment housing, I could see the German cemetery where Ronald Reagan later visited. My mother used to curse that cemetery where German soldiers were buried, because her family suffered during World War II. I had a lot of fun at Bitburg as a kid, but I also remember that there were maybe only about 40 or 50 days of sunshine in the year. The skies were usually overcast and the snow in the winter was almost as bad as Wisconsin, where my Dad was transferred after his three years in Germany.

[auntAgonist]

139. I used to live a few miles

from this magnificant castle.

[Skittles]

140. Martham, England

[LosinIt]

141. Sodus Point on the Northern Coast of the United States

In the interest of bandwidth, I'm just gonna give you the link www.greatsodusbay.com We live right off of the beach on the lake side.

It's a great little resort town and everybody clears out after Labor Day except for a few of us hardy fools who stick it out. In the summer the little strip downtown has live bands out one the decks and the place really rocks. The fishing is pretty good and my son has become quite the bass fishing expert, just ask him. This winter has barely qualified to be called winter. The ice boaters and ice fisherman have been crying in their beer. All of the waterfowl are confused, not knowing whether to fly further south, to hang around the bay, or to make that commitment to cross Lake Ontario and head back to Canada and points North.

[LosinIt]

142. ok,be that way

Make me use up the bandwidth

[Heidi]

144. Wow.

:thumbsup: Gorgeous. I _love_ living near water.

145. Wow.
