10 Reason You Like Your Home Town
 

I thought it might be fun to tell 10 reasons we like our home town and maybe
one you don't like so much at the end.
I'll start with CHICAGO, IL.
although I haven't lived there in 50 yrs, I still consider it my hometown.

1-There is a feel the minute you arrive of wonder and excitment
2- The Chicago Cubs (best team that everyone loves)and White Sox so good
pic given to me by Kristy
3- Millennium Park in Downtown Chicago 2nd pic
4- Best restaurants...they say if you ate at a different restaurant every day
of the year you would not begin to have tasted them all. With the stock
yards there you can surely get a good steak.
5- Great museums, people who hate museums love the Field Museum pic 3
6- Lincoln Park and Grant Park with lots of outdoor music Pic 4
7- Best Shopping, out of school, I worked on Michigan Ave. and it was
hard to get home with a pay check.
8- Lake Shore Drive- a beautiful drive on the lake just north of downtown
9- The best transportation - a bus, L, subway or train available to take you
anywhere.
10 One thing I love, is no matter where I go ; I meet someone who has
lived or lives in Chicago and they all them to have a heart of gold
The one thing not so good is since it is a big city there is more crime and
where I live now there is zero crime. I'll take the crime :)

So cool!! OK, most of us know I love my town, so this should be easy! :p

1- Everyone knows everyone (its small)
2- There is no crime, at all
3- Its kind of old fashion, and all the cute little stores are up on main street
4- Its RIGHT in the middle of New Jersey (we even got a plaque for it! :D )
5- Its small, but has just about everything you want
6- Its very dog friendly
7- The schools are great
8- There are cool museums
9- There are a lot of historical spots
10- Its the best! :D

One thing that's not so good is because there is hardly any crime, the police aren't as well trained for it as in other towns/cities. :rolleyes:

i dont like mine ive lived here for 17 years and hate it everyone is in your bizness ill just read how nice everyone elses is lol

my home town consists of 2 small towns with 8 miles in between them. (in one county) i lived in mocksville nc as a child and in advance nc since age 10. both of these small towns use the same high school so you can imagine how everyone knows everyone! and i really like that. ok, here goes..

1. we have restaurants that have been around for 40 yrs that have country cookin and barbeque.
2. we also now in the last 5 yrs have a mcdonalds, dairy queen, bojangles, taco bell, and a super walmart (walmart is brand new...i am talking it just opened about 2 weeks ago.) we have 3 steak houses on one end and a seafood restaurant on the other. (me and my family are seafood fanatics)
3. when i read the marriges, births, obits and court section of our newspaper, i can usually tell you who they are talking about.
4. we have a fun and trendy business for dogs and cats that is called "main street canines bakery and boutique" in our historical section of town.
5. we have a few new vet clinics, doctor's and hair salons. (have to love that!)
6. our area is full of friendly folks and most people know one another.
7. i met my first love here and my "only true love" here.
8. the town of mocksville has a very beautiful display of lights throughout the historical section every christmas.
9. there's always a yard sale around the corner!!!! :)
10. the only thing i don't like about my town now is that it's really starting to become over-developed and i fear it is going to ruin it's charm someday...

Listen to Frank Sinatra's "My Kind of Town" :D

My Kind of Town - Sinatra

Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at you

And each time I roam, chicago is
Calling me home, chicago is
Why I just brim like a cload
It’s my kind of town

My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz

And each time I leave, chicago is
Tuggin my sleeve, chicago is
The wrigley building, chicago is
The union stockyard, chicago is
One town that won’t let you down
It’s my kind of town

Chicago - Sinatra

Chicago, Chicago that toddling town
Chicago, Chicago I will show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago my home town

Chicago, Chicago that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago I'll show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things that they never do on Broadway -- say
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago -- that's my home town

I live in the smallest county in New York State. Nice suburb, lots of land, good schools, great place to raise kids, but the greatest part about it is that I'm about 45 minutes from the heart of Manhattan. So, when I'm bored or just want a change, I head for the city. I love New York City.. There is something to do every minute of every day. But, then its nice to come home and sit on my deck and listen to the crickets on a nice summer evening.

hmm let me try this... :Plane:

oh well....

Come On People, we want to hear about yours
 

So many wonderful towns out there and we want to hear about yours.

lmao....I'll think on that one....

Good ol' Charm City, Baltimore of Course...The home of the Hon's

I live in a very small town in New Jersey. I have lived in the same town my entire life, 43 years.

1. Small town
2. Great schools. (My kids have had some of my teachers)
3. No industries, business district.
4. Very small downtown. But it has what you need.
5. All the surrounding towns have a train station direct to NYC. (1/2 hr by train)
6. Everyone knows everyone. (I went to school with a lot of my kids friends parents)
7. Virtually no crime.
8. Lots of dogs. We have 8 Yorkies in our Neighborhood.
9. Great town for kids.
10. Sometimes I hate that everyone knows everyone elses business.... (NOTHING) is a secret.

How did I not know?? Another wonderful restaurant town. Mike Hargrove and his
family love to eat and when he left our Indians for Baltimore we really heard alot
about the great food.

Yeah, the food is great. ANd so are the people.... ;)

LMAO!!! Only another hometown girl know's these thing's!!! I've been honned a few time's here and there :rolleyes: ( but, am a way's away from that are :rolleyes: a)...However, YorkieAngel is correct, there is nothing better than blue crabs...Hey whenever you come back to visit we can hang...You know this..Inside laugh's are the best. :p

lots of nice cities and towns
 

YORKIE SHADOW, to be able to have a short drive to the beach and have your family close must be great.

ALASKAYORKIE, to live in a city of 300,000 where the moose run free AND
the northern lights must make your city one most want to visit.

YORKIE ANGEL,I know you can just take so much quaint, hon!

SNERI13, 1/2 ride to NYC and you can still live in a small town, I bet like
Megan's since you are in NJ too must be ideal.

FOURDEZ, you and Sneri13 must have the same type of living.


COME ON UNITED STATES, ENGLAND, AUSTRALIA , JAPAN AND NEW ZELAND
and do be have someone from IRELAND?

Sounds wonderful! ahhhh
