This pic is of a diner on main street in middletown called O'Rourkes. It burnt down a few years ago and everyone in town donated money to rebuild and reopen it. Guy Fieri featured the restaurant on his Food Network show 'Diners, Drive-ins & Dives'.

You have a beautiful neighborhood Kimberlee!

Thanks, Ramona! Yours is equally lovely. What is the 3rd picture of, thats really pretty. The Cambodian festival too looks awesome!

Those are beautiful pictures that both of you have posted. Ramona, I really like the third picture. The one taken at night. Kim, your first picture is beautiful. I'm sorry to say that I have never been to either one of your states.

Here are a few photos I took of my area...

I LOOOOVE that show!! And I saw the episode with O'Rourkes Diner. All the food looked so yummy-especially the banana bread french toast. My mouth was watering!

I live in Schaumburg, IL. Illinois ranks with Indiana, Ohio and Iowa as the most boring state in the country, so it was difficult to find any good pictures. Picture one is of the library and picture two is inside Woodfield Mall during the Chriatmas holidays.

those pics are so beautiful Mike. especially the first one, that looks so serene.

The library and the area aroud it is really nice. Sometimes at night I'll walk over there and sit on a bench by the water and just think.

Schaumburg High School. This is where I went to high school from 1991 to 1995.

I love the mall pic Mike. I always love a good day of shopping at Christmas time and that looks like a lovely place!

It's the center for a brand new housing development they recently built. They have been doing a lot of construction of new homes, condo's and recreational areas. Yeah, the KHMR (Cambodian) New Year festival is a big deal here, a long w/ Jubilee days and Lunar New Year.

Pictures of Topeka, KS

State Capitol Building, Topeka High School, Historic Ward-Mead Park, BoBo's Drive In (which also appeared on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives)

Hehe, I knew somebody was going to ask me that. But no, it's not, lol. My house is more like those quadrant type houses like these (but not as new or nice as these):

Well it's not the hood but lets just say it's not one of the nicer areas of Seattle. Like if you ask people that live on alki or the admiral district they'll tell you that White Centers "scary" or "the ghetto". They're full of **** though so it's all good. And my house isn't even that nice but it's a newish house and it's a two story.

Here's a couple more pictures of the main street

Billie, those pictures of your high achool are amazing. :)

The auditorium looks like an old style concert hall. Its really quite beautiful.

Was that in a movie too? Looks familiar LOL

This is the high school from my hometown. I never went to it though, as it was built after I graduated and it cost an obscene amount of money.
Anyway, I couldn't find any pics of the old high school, however, it will be famous soon enough. Wes Craven used it in his upcoming movie 25/8. He filmed on location in our town and used the old vacant high school for some scenes.

It is too bad that they didn't name the new school after you, Kim. Kimberlee A. PunkyPower High School. :lol: Okay, that was as terrible joke. :rolleyes: :eek: :lol:

:crazy: you're crazy Mike! No I don't think I'm famous enough for the whole school to be named after me, but I'll settle with the drama department being named in my honor, in recognition for all my histrionics!

Thanks Mike, but I didn't go to school there (well actually I did go there one summer for driver's ed.) We have several highschools here and I went to a different one. It's not nearly as pretty as Topeka High though so I didn't post a pic of it. I was going to when I read your reply and I couldn't even find one online. :lol: That's how unimpressive it is to look at.

I found this partial pic on the Topeka Public Schools website. Here it is...Highland Park High School, home of the Fighting Scots (yeah...seriously :lol:)

Ghetto or average, you decide.

Was the school located in a town called Highland Park? We have a Highland Park in Illinois. Schaumburg High School was the home of the Schaumburg Saxons! :lol:

No, Highland Park is an area in Topeka.

The part of Chicago that we lived in when I was a baby is called Rogers Park. Just in case you were wondering. :lol: ;)

The first pic is of rt. 9, i go down rt. 9 to and from work each day. the foliage is beautiful in fall.

the third pic is of my house. in the fall i love sitting on the bench on the front porch and look at the autumn trees and pumpkins on the porches and enjoy the crisp air


Is that Rt. 9 in New Jersey, by any chance? Looks like it could be... I grew up in NJ myself, I'm in Florida now

Kim's from Conn. :)

Here's one that is the corner of my street.

http://www.nhlink.net/neighborhoodtour/old-brooklyn/oldbrook8.jpg

I have some older ones, like what my street looked like 100 years ago.

Okay, so here are some pictures of my neighborhood!

The first is a nearby shopping center.

The second picture is of the theater in this shopping center.

The third picture is from a canyon that I often drive to get to the beach. It's got great views, especially at night. There's a place on the canyon where cars can park and it's a great place to take pictures.

The fourth picture is of a outdoor mall that's near the beach. It's about two or three blocks away from the beach, so it's within perfect walking distance.

And the last picture is of the pier and boardwalk. It's the perfect place to be during the summer!!

This is a picture of Venice Beach, also known as Muscle Beach. It's about 20-30 minutes away from me, but I go there a lot. There's tons of shops along the boardwalk that have everything. It's a great place to be during the summer.

Ah ok, thanks :wave: The pics were beautiful, I miss fall colors down here (in FL)

I love Santa Monica went there last October for the Hollywood Collector's Show in Burbank, went all over the area.

It's such a great place isn't it? I always go there when I'm feeling down or am stressed. Just sitting by the waters is a great way to relax. I wish I could afford to rent an apartment in the area!

I live in a neighborhood of Seattle called "White Center".


I used to visit White Center a lot when I was a kid, my grandparents lived there for many years.

Second pic: The little waterfall as you head into Downtown Sandy going toward Mount Hood.

Sixth Pic: Mudslide from last January that happened on Hwy 26 heading towards Mt Hood(luckily it happened past where our house is located)
