Tell Me Something About Where You Live

Syracuse NY, "snowiest big city in the United States." Other than the New York State Fair, Syracuse University and Carousel Mall, there aint a whole lot to see here. But its home, and I love it.

Is this a legitimate "BIG FOOT" sighting?

Size 9. Of course, if you're going the innuendo route here, I will tell you that the physical examination required for a man to buy property in Longwood is somewhat intrusive (and I was happy to have passed!).

Thanks for all of the posts - hopefully others will share. If you think of other things about where you live, feel free to post again.

As I mentioned, Broken Arrow is a suburb of Tulsa. For a number of years, we haven't been able to attract major recording artists to the town. We built the BOK Center and the wife and I saw AC/DC there last night. Now there is a whole slate of major acts booked.

Jim Thorpe was buried here in Tulsa until his widow moved him to Mauch Chunk, PA which is now called Jim Thorpe, PA. (Lynne and I got our marriage license there, in fact). I was stopped in my attempt to move Jim Thorpe back to where he belongs.

Tulsa is a perfect test city for trying out products to gather demographic information. We also have more strip shopping centers than anywhere in the US.

Tulsa is home to the Golden Driller. The Golden Driller is 76 feet tall, weighs 43,500 pounds, has a belt size of 48 feet and a shoe size of 393DDD. It was originally built for the International Petroleum Exhibition in 1953. In 1979, it was adopted as a state monument. The Golden Driller has been ravaged by weather, survived tornadoes, photo sessions with tourists, attacked by vandals, assaulted by souvenir seekers, shotgun blasts, and has even had an arrow in the back. The basic angle-iron structure made of plaster and concrete will withstand 200 mile-an-hour winds.

Moderately cold in winter, pretty hot in summer. Notorious party school. Big city convenience with little city charm. Couple million bikes in town for the 100k population. Great sports area: 30 minutes from blue ribbons trout streams, great bass lakes, wild runs of salmon, pig bear and deer hunting. In three hours you can be in Tahoe, Reno or San Francisco. Home of a darned good micro brewery "Sierra Nevada". On any given day you can have five Bald Eagles sitting in your oak tree (I will try to post the picture). Also, we've got our share of stupids. In the 80s, the city council passed a law fining anyone who detonated a nucluear bomb within city limits $100. The town is centralized, so driving for 7 minutes in pretty much any direction will get you into amond or walnut orchards, rice fields, forest or grassy plains. And did I mention the mountain biking?

I live in Yuma, Arizona.

It's hot as hell here during the summer. Literally. Hot as HELL. It gets to about 110 during the summer months. Not very fun.

The city is small. Definitely not a metropolitan area. We have an outdoor mall here...though I believe it should've been an indoor due to the heat.

Dirtbikes and quads are the thing around here. We have dunes less than 20 minutes away, so its fun to go out and shred.

There is a military base here, actually two. One army, one marine corps. The reason my dad decided to live here is that we lived here while he was in the service. When he retired, he had liked the small city feeling and decided to live here.

Uhm...our teen pregnancy and STD rates are higher than any other in the state. (no joke)

My highschool is the only school in the United States with the mascot of the "Criminals".

I would've rather done a post on where I used to live. (Iwakuni, Japan)

Nah, I try to avoid Austin at all costs.

Actually, we have talked a couple times about hooking up, but with his and my jobs, we never have had a chance.

I live in London, England.

As much as the prosperous city life is advocated here ...



... It's actually the the woods, countryside and tranquil parks of London that I enjoy the most ...



Fun fact: London is without exception, the largest Capital City in the WORLD. (Well, it wasn't fun, but ah well ... )

I lived in Norwich CT growing up and I remember Mohegan Park. I seem to remember feeding animals there and a big herd of deer. I went to Kelly Jr High up there. I wonder if that school is still around.

Kelly Middle School is alive and well. They have made a bunch of improvements. I don't know when you attended but they have improved it alot. As far as Mohegan Park, it is really nice now adays. The lake is nice during the summer. I go there every now and then.
