Who Loves Their Hometown As Much As I Do & Don't Wanna Live Anywhere Else? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

isiahthomas · 06-23-2004, 06:06 PM

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

Cashodeen · 06-23-2004, 06:15 PM

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.

isiahthomas · 06-23-2004, 06:33 PM

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.

AKA · 06-23-2004, 06:48 PM

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.

Warm & Fuzzy · 06-23-2004, 06:51 PM

Horray for Manhattan!!!

isiahthomas · 06-23-2004, 06:58 PM

Safety Pin where do u live?

dawsongirl · 06-23-2004, 07:06 PM

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.

Same here. Although there are some things I'd love to change about Manhattan-- it's nearly close to perfect. And heck, nearly perfect is good enough for me!

Plus, I know my way around the city. Believe it or not, at one point, I had the entire subway map memorized!

Well, that was before when I DESERVED the title "Transit Whiz." Now, I've pretty much forgotten everything.

isiahthomas · 06-23-2004, 07:14 PM

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.

isiahthomas · 06-23-2004, 07:15 PM

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.

PZelda · 06-23-2004, 07:17 PM

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.

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