    It's freaking hot and dry and dusty and there's no water for at least a 2 hour drive.

    Unpredictable weather... and hipsters. But it's still lovely!

    Hahahaha hipsters....do you live in Austin too??? That's like 80% of our population.

    Hahaha! I live in Portland, Oregon -.- the hipster population is ever-growing!

    I was going to guess Portland!

    I would say nothing - I love living where I do! We have mountains, beautiful wildlife, rivers, no traffic, a decent-sized town within a 20 minute drive, affordable housing, low taxes, low crime, good jobs in the area, 4 distinct seasons, friendly people, great locally farmed food, awesome non-chain restaurants, lots of vineyards. I could go on and on! :smile:

    The only thing I can think of is that sometimes (like now), the summers are TOO HOT!

    Where do you live? sounds IDEAL......except I would definitely miss the beach

    In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The beach is within a 3-4 hour drive, which isn't too far. A lot of people in my area do weekend beach trips.

    Orlando, FL

    The fact that everyone thinks you live right next to Disney. (Disney is in Kissimmee, not Orlando)
    Tourists
    I-4
    The drivers. I have driven through 20+ states and yes, there are bad drivers everywhere, but I swear, it's an epidemic in Orlando. And I'm not talking about the tourists who don't know where they're going. I'm talking natives.
    Giant fricken cockroaches that fly.
    The summer sucks.

    All of this.
    Like you live IN Disney.
    And OMG, why are you SO pale if you LIVE IN FL??!?!?!!?

    Because, it's 97 degrees out. >.< It's not a vacation for me.

    ***ALSO, horseflies and deerflies.

    No bike trails, we have a heat wave right now... but it's a lot safer than living in the city. :)

    Tourism and snow birds are the baddest things about Florida, but even then where else can you go to meet people from all over the world?!?! Everyone *loves* Disney World :happy:

    You ask for an "iced tea" and what you get back is sweeter than a coke with 4 splenda....


    That's better than living where you get a cup of water with a drop of brown food coloring and some ice cubes.


    who serves food coloring and water? thats weird.

    and i too cant stand sweet tea. i can see why kids like it.

    I happen to love ice water. So add a little caffine and no sugar, I am good.

    Another unfortunate part of living in the south. Southerners defending anything southern.

    Houston is a swamp. We have 2 seasons, Africa hot and fall.

    ...or this summer we've got Africa hot with torrential rain and flooding. WTF?

    Can I add bad Texas drivers? By that I mean "you gotcha DL out of a cereal box!"

    It's Ohio.

    My thoughts exactly

    What's up with all of the Ohio haters? What city do you guys live in? Because I love mine (Cleveland)! There are tons of things to do, great food to eat, and a variety of people. But you have to make the best of it. Life isn't going to come to you.

    I will say the weather is super unpredictable. The meteorologists can't even get it right and they have nexrad radar of whatever they call it, smh
