Oh now, that's B.S. I was born in Providence. I went back there in 2000 for a wedding and I absolutely loved it! That Mall they have... There's nothing like that on the scale here and the weather is BEAUTIFUL, even in mid-summer!

Anyways, I live in Danville, NH. Lemme see if I can scrounge around a pic from online...


Aha what a joke. Look! Its the Danville Memorial Day parade!!
http://www.firstnhregiment.org/0b800800.jpg
Thats Gortons (gas station/town store) across the street. Well, actually its Mayo's Market. The Mayos bought it and renamed it. (It was called Danville Village Market). Ill always call it Gortons though. The brown building next to it is the Fire Association Hall. Ugh, damnit they didnt get a pic of the tree they're in front of. They keep it decorated in Christmas all year long lol.

Oh, and heres the police/fire station. Its right next to the Town Hall which is right next to the church.
http://fire.townofdanville.org/images/station.jpg

Heres my church, Danville Baptist Church
http://www.danvillebaptist.net/DBCb.jpg

uhhh... here's a map of alabama. Is that close enough? There is nothing to show a picture of. Hannah's right, our community has one little shack called a "gas-station" and another shack called "smokee holler" that sells sandwiches and such, and thats all.:rolleyes: :D

Yea, let's try this again.

What the hell? Ok, my computer isn't letting me attach any pictures right now. :rolleyes: I guess I can just do it tomorrow.

Here's EMP, the Experience Music Project at the Seattle Center:

Las Vegas isn't what it's all cracked up to be.

Sure, you can booze up here 24/7, but if you don't gamble (like myself) it's pretty worthless... and even if you do... well, it's still worthless.

Good points: It's somewhat cheap to live here, you can booze up 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

Bad points: Jobs don't really pay well, unbearably hot in the summer (120+ degrees!), people are rude, very bad transportation system, drivers voted one of worst in the country, high crime rates.

As you can see, the bad outweighs the good here...

Hmm, bad points are pretty much the same as they are here, but it's not cheap to live here, and bars close at 2am... Las Vegas is definitly better than Jersey...

Sand and surf. Temperate weather.
High costs. Lots of vocal special interests groups, which represent only a small portion of the citizenry, that frequently cause the rest of the city to be subjected to policies that are not really in anyone's best interests. I call this kind of person a "do-gooder," if you get my drift.

my city is pretty cool cuz its small but i wish there were places to go.

here are some places that i frequently go to when I go out

the first picture is of a bar called the moon and stars in romford, essex

D:\Documents and Settings\Peter May\Desktop\1.jpg

this is the main nightclub we all go to

Well, I'm in Albany, NY

Here's a picture of the Empire State Plaza...

This is an event on Lark Street, just a couple of blocks up from the Plaza. I think this is "Art On Lark"

Lark Street is pretty nice. They have alot of little shops and cafes.

NYC-- we got Bloomingdales. :lol:

Those, my friend, are pics of Santa Monica, not L.A. Well! ;)

Thankee for compliment, though. Of course they look good since I took them from an online city promotional site. :lol:

Believe it or not, all three of those pics are taken within a few blocks from one another, in the downtown district of SM.

Las Vegas...

http://www.joycejulius.com/images/Las-Vegas-Strip-Shot-Web.gif

well....i live in the san fernando valley in california (southern california). here's a picture of my school.

la's a really bad place to be at night. you don't want to by a lot of stuff off the bazaars on the street cuz sometimes you don't know what you're buying. it's filled with drunk and homeless pervs who try to hit on you for money that they're going to use to go run across to the liquor store and by a bottle of vodka so they can sing about olden times and how great life was before they were enclosed in a box.

but la's got all the major businesses and stuff there. the staples center is also there. we went there for a basketball game my sister won tickets to....:eek: .....it's so freakin big! and they have really good cheese nachos.

universal studios hollywood is 30 minutes away from here. Disneyland (in anaheim) is an hour away. san fransisco's 6 (ok, that's not really my neighboorhood).

i'll go look for some pictures of my town. there's got to be a couple.

ok...i found a ton of pics...

la...

la....

the santa monica beach and pier, where i spend most of my summer

3rd street promenade has some cool places to shop

the santa monica mall.

the coolest beach ever...venice beach! you can get such good stuff her for such good deals! i go 80 insense sticks for a dollar. i've gotten hennas there too. and i've gotten jewlery and jewlery boxes for a couple of dollars. in target they would cost like 20 bucks. they've got the world's greatest ice cream store (can't remember the name right now) but i went there the day of 8th grade culmination and got a mocha ice cream with my friend. they've got cool sunglasses that you can try on. they've got all these dirty quote t-shirts that are so funny to read. venice was home to the flower children in the 60s...

last two are from beverly hills. they've got way too expensive stuff so i just go there to peek in through the windows. lol.

some of the pics didn't go through. the pier...

another picture of venice beach and their famous henna tattoos.

santa monica

beverly hills

The Florentine Hotel in Germantown.

This is a house in Germantown that I seriously think is haunted.

http://images.ibsys.com/2002/0617/1516376.jpg Meet me at the back - of the - Big Blue Bug tonight - Oh, oh yeahhha.
--Jim Morrison...ur ah, almost, lol. I think he said ' blue bus tonight'.

Actually he DID say Blue Bus, I'm sure he was refering to the Santa Monica Bus Lines down there. When I was going to school down there at UCLA over ten years ago, I saw those (actually I was there six years ago as well).

But then again, given his state of mind, he could've meant a Big Blue Bug!;) :crazy: :lol:

I think his state of mind seceded from the Union many moons before...:D

While I don't know just how long they have called it that, the Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines calls their service Big Blue Bus.

Notice the words actually ON the bus:

Oh, I knew they called their bus lines that, I was quoting the Doors song. I've rode (ridden?) that bus a few times when I've been down there. Gawwwsh, I miss L.A.....:(

the town I live in has a website for its newpaper, and a panaormaic 360 view is on the site, I'm having difficulty finding it... wait

noep, I think they mustve remodeled one of these sites, I couldn't ever remember the address, but I could always find it on msn. You can register now, probably need to do that to get that feature. Ah well- heres a different few sites about the town:
http://stmichaelsiscrap.tripod.com
The site above is some pupils making fun of teachers at the school I'm going to in september.

And heres a forum for people living in the town to comment about. Most people say how crap the town is- there are different categories- Town Heroes, Events, buildings, The Music Scene, Great Hangout spots etc- http://www.knowhere.co.uk/3759.html

For the second link posted, if anyone needs explanations for certain words, just ask- there's an extended vocab of lingo where I'm from. Some I'm still learning about. a teacher in our school started up a sland boad, using phrases from our town- but I think some people where winding her up by making up new words. There's some other site somewhere, It's great, I'll try find it.

It would be nice if I lived closer to this park (it's about 4 or 5 miles away); I would certainly go there a lot more often.

I question whether or not they called it Big Blue Bus back when Jim Morrison was alive. Maybe they got the name from him.

Could be...:D :cool:

Well I found a couple of pics of my hometown (Northville, Michigan) and since my parents are moving this week, I'm a little sentimental about it :talk: :) Here's a pic of our clock on Main Street (which is also the street I lived on for 14 years)

And here's our clock in downtown Freiburg (it's a little older):

OK I can't find any pics of places around here and I don't have readily available, so here's a pic of my school. It's from the school's website so it's really crappy. Fun I know.

I live in Grayson, KY and I can't find no picks of my city. I found a website for it www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo?loclIndex=4004

Okay if you want to see my city go to ww.epodunk.com then where it says place search type on Grayson then select the state of KY and it should take you to it.
