Here it's the miles of countryside in three directions, or you can just walk along the coast for hours in silence.

    Born and raised in the same place. All my memories are here and they always will be here even as I grow old. Plus, who doesn't love being close to a beautiful lake!

    Commonly known as the "Armpit of California", most people would say there's nothing good about Fresno. :tongue: And I would tend to agree on many fronts.

    But, it is a huge farming area, and so much great stuff is grown and produced here - I've learned as I've traveled around that we are dang spoiled with all the super fresh produce we get here.

    And Fresno is two hours from the coast, less than that to the high Sierras, so escape is easy. :bigsmile:

    My home town, in the Santa Clara Valley (Calif.), was like Eden. Once it was all orchards and many of the fruit trees then remained. You could ride your bike around the neighborhood and eat cherries, apricots, citrus, etc., depending on the season. Also, it was at the bottom of the Santa Cruz mountains, and with a short ride on your bike, you could be on a hiking trail with spectacular views.
    Unfortunately, now it is totally overcrowded.

    My town turns one of the high school football games into a fundraiser for cancer. It's a huge thing! This was our 5th year and have raised $2 million dollars now. There was a bit about it on the Today Show last year.

    My home town is New Orleans...food, music, French Quarter, Mardi Gras, etc.

    Where I currently live...Houston, TX. Everything good about living in a major metropolitan city with a strong economy. Diversity of food, people, and access to culture of all types. I'm even less than an hour from the beach.

    I can walk for miles before there's alot of people around and it's very silent. That's how I want it right now, not sure about in future years.

    Just up the road aways from this man. He is soooo - RIGHT. Also, the sacredness of the Black Hills is something you can feel that keeps you here. BTW I have lived and worked in many areas of this great country, and CHOSE this as my home.
