I'm in love with my hometown Cleveland, Ohio & i wish i would've lived here all my life. My parents moved my brother & i from here when we were young. I was 11 when i left Cleveland for Virginia. I lived in Virginia for 3 yrs & then i moved to Maryland for 4 yrs. I moved back to Cleveland after i graduated from high school in 94 & i've been here ever since. I don't plan on leaving here again. The thing i love about Cleveland so much is it's a laid back city & it's not overcrowded like Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta. My parents & brother are the type that they like to travel & see the world. I don't wanna see the world cause i don't like riding on airplanes. I don't mind visiting some cities but i ain't trying to go everywhere & live everywhere. It's hard for me to get adjusted to a new city. That's why i don't like moving so much. It's so much fun in Cleveland in the summer. I like to go to the parks around here to play basketball & have cookouts with family members. I love seeing the black girls here wearing tight shorts showing they're feet & legs. I don't appreciate former Cleveland Cavs player Ricky Davis calling my city the black hole LOL. What he's saying is that it ain't nothin to do in Cleveland & that the sports teams are cursed. I believe him about the teams being cursed cause the Indians, Browns, Cavs haven't won a championship probably never LOL.

I like my town just because it's quiet for having almost 30,000 people in it. There are stores, hospitals and schools close by. I can say that I live here mostly for convenience

I've lived in only two towns--both 1 mile apart--all my life. I gotta get out of here soon! I can stand it here for another couple of years, but honestly, if I don't move around in my life, I'll be bored out of my mind. I would even move to the UK if I visited there first, and loved it. I'll feel like my life is a bore if I don't travel and move to several big cities. I don't have any set-plans to move yet, but southern California might be the first place.

I want to move back to Michigan and I should be able to soon. I hate living in Texas.

What part of Michigan are u from & what part of Texas u live in? I got cousins in Dallas & Detroit. I love Detroit. It reminds me of Cleveland a lot. There is a liquor store on every corner in the black neighborhoods in Detroit LOL. I've never seen that many liquor stores in my life.

yay i <3 my hometown even though its very small and doesnt really have anything. but i've lived here my whole life and i'm so familiar with everything, it all brings back memories. i think safeway brings back the most, i remember going there with my mom before i could walk. there's one street that has the apartment i lived in til i was 5 and that my mom owned, the preschool i went to and the babysitter i used to go to. i pretty much know my way around the whole city and where all the buildings are.

I've lived here in Spokane, WA all my life. I like it enough, but I may be moving to Northern California pretty soon. I'm not 100% sure yet.

Horray for Manhattan!!! :clap:

Safety Pin where do u live?

I live for familiarity, so the chances of me just up and leaving Iowa are next to nothing.

I went and lived in Cedar Falls for a year and despised every minute of it. Cedar Falls/Waterloo is the most horrid place to live in Iowa. Made me appreciate central Iowa all the more.

And heck, nearly perfect is good enough for me! :D Plus, I know my way around the city. Believe it or not, at one point, I had the entire subway map memorized! :eek: Well, that was before when I DESERVED the title "Transit Whiz." Now, I've pretty much forgotten everything. :D

Dawsongirl i feel the same way about Maryland. I couldn't stand living in Maryland. The traffic is always bad going across the bridge to Virginia from Maryland. Traffic leaving from Virginia going to Maryland is bad also. It doesn't matter what time of day it is in Maryland & Virginia, traffic is bad. I don't never have to worry about the traffic being bad in Cleveland cause it's not a lot of people here. There's too many damn foreigners in Maryland & Virginia also. They own all the gas stations & conveinence stores hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Cleveland doesn't have that many foreigners. I don't never have to worry about nothin gettin bombed in Cleveland either like what happened in Washington DC & New York on 9/11.

I know i don't wanna live nowhere else but Cleveland cause i'm not good at reading a map so i would have a hard time finding my way around in a new city.

I up and left to live in a small town called Devils Lake many years ago. It was a horrible, crappy little town of 7,000 people. Oh, my God....NEVER AGAIN. I will NEVER live there. EVER. I'll go up there for a visit...but you couldn't pay me a million dollars to live there again. It's just soooo full of problems...Ugggh. The fact that it's 10 minutes north of a Native American reservation doesn't help much. I knew a lot of people from there and they were no good..It seemed that everywhere you went, there were alcoholics running rampant. The Devils Lake teens would go down to the reservation and party to their hearts' content with the Native Americans there...I could go on, but I won't. I lived there for almost 11 years -- I FINALLY got to move back home after I finished high school, and I have never been happier to get out of there. EVERYthing about it sucked...but they did have an excellent school system up there...I liked a lot of the teachers I had. That's all. I'm back in the hometown I'm originally from...it's been my dream to live here again. It's waaaay bigger than Devils Lake is and there's so much more to do here. I might eventually move, but for now, I'm VERY happy with living here. :thumbsup:

I hate where I live. (New Jersey) I like a few places in Jersey, though. Cape May rules.

Miss Vicki where's your hometown & MaydayMalonesGirl where are u from? Only thing i was happy about when i moved to Virginia & Maryland was their school lunches cause Cleveland's public schools had terrible lunches. Cleveland's lunches looked like tv dinners hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Virginia & Maryland's lunches were steak & cheese sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, pizza. Plus they had Hostess Apple Pies, Twinkies, Honey Buns. I was in heaven when i had their lunches.

I wanna move there after high school. I wanna go to college there.

But yeah...my hometown is okay. Well, I lived in another town until I was 12 and then I moved here. But they're right next to each other so its not that big of a difference. And my school district covers both of those towns so its not like I had to go and meet all these new people or anything. So yeah...where I live is okay. Nothing special...

Consentida where are u from? I remember i told my mom that i wanna be buried in Cleveland if i end up living in another city & she said she will make sure i'm buried in Cleveland if i die before her. My father asked me before how come Cleveland is the only place i wanna live & i told him that it's my hometown & i like it here better than any other city. It's hard for him to understand that but my mom understands why i like Cleveland so much. My father told me that i think Cleveland is heaven hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. He said crime happens in Cleveland too LOL. My father thinks that all of my family members in Cleveland have bad luck cause they aren't doing anything with their lives which is true cause a lot of my family members have been to jail & sold drugs. Cleveland is ghetto but it's just like any other city that has a ghetto.

I wish I would never leave San Diego, California. But I might have to after I finish community college a couple of years from now. If San Diego State doesn't accept me, then I'm probably going to go to Long Beach State and live up there.

LMAO this reminds me of the Nate thread. Anyways.. I love Danville. Here is well.. ugh. No.

I grew up in Moose Lake, MN. It took moving out of the town to realize that I don't really like it. I lived there for 18 years before I moved to Round Rock, TX. The only things I miss about Moose Lake are the people I know.

Right now I'm in Lino Lakes, MN, and on the weekends I drive up to Moose Lake and stay and party with my cousin, etc. Right now I'm pretty happy, although it's hard being away from my close family for a long time.

I'm from Muskegon MI, which is on the west side of Michigan, near Lake Michigan. And I live near the Dallas area.

MSConanOBrien u live in Danville, Virginia?

My husband and I grew up in the same small Michigan town. Pop. around 400. We now live in a larger town.Pop. 8000. But we are still only about 10 miles from our home town where my parents still live. I love small towns! Everybody knows everybody. But that can be a drawback too. Everybody knows your business!:( :lol:

I would like to move back to my hometown as it was when I lived there in the 80's( I moved away in the 90's and then recently moved back). As it is, I live there now and it has been growing too much to suit my tastes. There is now 8000+ people here and that is too many for me. But that's my only complaint about my hometown.

I live in a small NC town and I really don't like it. I don't like the people here and there's never anything to do. I want to live in a big city such as New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Nashville, Atlanta...

I live in a great city in Nebraska. I moved here with my family in 1986 when I was just six years old. I am now 24 years old, and still live in the same city and the same house since I moved here. But unfortunately, we are selling our house. I'm sad and upset about that :( The city I live in is growing. Not that it was small when I first moved here, thank goodness for that :) I would go crazy if I lived in a small town! I know I plan on moving away from Nebraska someday. but not right now...at least I don't think so. I may though, who knows.

NH. It says that in her location.

Princess2003 & Penny Lane i read on Yahoo.com today that there was a shooting in Detroit at a fireworks show that happened yesterday i guess. The gunman wounded a lot of people. I also read that Detroit is one of the worst cities in america when it comes to crime & murders. They say the city is rundown & looks bad. I can believe that cause the hood in Detroit looks terrible. I saw on the news people were acting wild after Detroit Pistons won the championship a few weeks ago. I saw some people shaking cars. I don't know why people got to act a damn fool when a team wins a championship. I was mad when my parents moved from Cleveland in 87 cause we were living in a very nice house in the suburbs. I loved that house. We were about to get a patio built on the back porch & we were gonna put a basketball hoop on the garage before we moved.

When I was adopted from Vietnam, I lived in Miami Florida from diapers until nine then moved to Seymour Tennessee a small county outside of Knoxville and now it has grown from population of 700 in 1984 to know 30,000 in 2004 and I am going to be thirty on October 3rd and still consider the town a small town but love it!! Ever since.

EricIdleFan u lived in Miami until u were 9 huh? My brother & 2 of his friends went to Miami 2 yrs ago for a vacation & they loved it down there. He said they got so many fine women there. He also liked the clubs down there. I've never been to Miami before but i would like to go.

North Carolina sounds boring. Youngstown, Ohio & Arkansas are also boring towns. I got family in Youngstown & ain't a damn thing to do there at all. Even my cousin who lives there said he can't wait until he graduates from high school so he can go to the military so he can get out of Youngstown LOL. My father is from Arkansas & he took my mom, brother & i there about 5 yrs ago to visit his relatives. We went to the park for a cookout & there were flies flying everywhere. It's a lot of woods in Arkansas & everything is so far away. I know my father was probably glad he moved to Cleveland when he was a teenager.

That's a huge population boom!

I was born in Chicago. We moved to Hanover Park, IL in January 1979 when I was two and a half and then to Schaumburg, IL in January 1985 when I was eight and a half. Hanover Park and Schaumburg are only about 15 minutes apart so I've spent most of my life around here. I have very fond memories of the area but things have been changing around here over the past five years and I'm not happy with these changes. So I am very interested in moving somewhere else.

Dawsongirl my boss on my cigarette merchandiser job calls foreigners, camel jockeys & flea bags hahahahahahahahahaha.

I like Saint Charles, Missouri very much. It is a nice city of 65,000
that still has that friendly small town way of life.

My hometown is Petersburg, Virginia which is kind of nice. It has a population of about 34,000 people and everyone's pretty nice. It's not too far from Richmond, Norfolk/Virginia Beach, or the Washington D.C. area. Traffic isn't bad down in this area, only when you get north of Fredericksburg that it starts to get really crazy. The weather is pretty nice most of the time, although it can get extremely hot or extremely cold at times.

I don't really like my hometown anymore...I love a lot of the people-they are good people, but also, there's a lot of people on oxy-contin and other horrible drugs. My town is turning into a drug hole!!!! It is still pretty safe though. With only about 2,800 people, I know just about everybody and from being a cashier in the town's only grocery store, I have seen everybody. I don't know what life is like outside of this town! I haven't been out of West Virginia in years:eek: It is extremely boring here and I'm ready for a vacation!!!!!!

I love where I live. I was born and raised here and never really appreciated it until I lived someplace else for five years.

Iron River is a very small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Some people may say it's boring but it's a great place to raise kids. The air is clean and the crime is low

I think I live in a choice spot--in a quiet area only 40 min from Orlando, and 20 minutes from the beach. I love it. I can't see ever leaving here anytime soon.

well i loathe where i live which is Romford, Essex, UK.

When i graduate in october from uni i am moving to california. I am currently writing off for jobs within sunny cali :D

i really cant see myself spending the rest of my life in Britain, way way to expensive and miserable.

Hey I'm from Baltimore Ohio :)

I live in rural Eastern Kentucky. I hate my skanky nasty town. There is nothing to do here maybe that is why tennage girls are getting pregnant and everyone else is doing drugs. You know people here do for fun? Hang out on parking lots and cruise around McDonalds 500 times. One of these days I am getting out of this god forsaken place.

My first home was in Bridgewater I moved here in East Taunton when I was 3. Though I've been here longer I've always thought of Bridgewater as my hometown. I want to move back so badly. It's a nice and quiet community and you can pretty much walk to everything I hate all of Taunton

Tell us how you REALLY feel, Vicki ;) .

As for my town; I like it! All the other teenagers whine and complain, "Oh there's nothing to do except go to the movies." and "It's filled with people that refuse to change anything." It's big, but not a huge, well-known city. And it's sort of small, but it also isn't a hick town. It's got MOSTLY nice people except the gangsters and goths that look at you strange when you say "Hi". One of the reasons we're mostly all nice is because we're mostly a Christian city. But, like the country, our city is becoming more and more secular and becoming a worse place to live because of it. I'm most likely gonna live here my whole life, maybe be a politician here after I'm through with the NBA, I dunno.

I went to Cleveland once and I liked what I saw. My father's boss took us out on his boat and we sailed to a restaurant thing where we tied the boat up and went and ate. It was a place called "Dick's Last Resort", lol, that was awesome. The waiters are smart-alecky at you and you're supposed to talk back to them. There were some black people behind us, who apparently asked for some paper towels or napkins or something and the waiter brought back a huge roll and started rolling tons of it off and putting it all over them. The waiter called one of the ladies "Diana Ross", and they laughed the whole time. My Dad remarked how the waiter couldn't have gotten away with doing that stuff in the South. isiah, is the street-balling any good in Cleveland? Like, is it as good as what I've heard goes on in nYC and Harlem?

ConservativeBalla what do u mean once you're through with the NBA? I know you're not a NBA player. I don't think Cleveland's playgrounds are known for good basketball players like in New York but there is good competition here especially at this one park called Woodhill Park.

West Sand Lake is okay, I'm used to it and probably would not move out of state, unless my parents and my brother and his family moved, I'm very close to them and wouldn't think of living in here in NY on my own.

I would never leave my hometown


I wouldnt even leave my HOUSE
