    Yes it is a state and no it's not part of NY:grumble:

    LMBO!:laugh: Do people actually ask you that?

    I've had people tell me it can't be a state because they have never heard of it.
    One person said she looked it up on a map and we are only a dot so it can't be a real state.:noway:

    Hey exsargex, don't be slamming on JC.....it's not the same place it was 20+ years ago, but people would rather repeat the same old stupid stuff than admit that the place has changed..........for the better. :grumble: :grumble:

    We thought the same old stuff when we got sent back here in 1991, but were very surprised to see how much it'd changed since the "gals" hung out at 10th& Washington on payday weekends!! We CHOSE to buy and live in JC rather than Manhattan. :wink:

    No No Santa Cruz, CA The Lockheed fire...the most expensive this year (no wonder were in debt) was down the road from me. Great Helicopter shots. Everyone is OK though.
    Hey, I'm originally from Santa Cruz! Well, Boulder Creek actually. I miss it terribly!!

    Oh that's nice to know....so where are you now? Do you like it better?
    Phoenix, AZ and I HATE it. No trees, no water, big city. It's pretty gross. But I've been here 15 years now and can afford to live here comfortably so I don't see us moving. I just visit as often as I can!

    Entirely different Eco system. So yes your use to Giant Redwoods, Summer morning Fog to cool down the hot days of summer & the beach within a stones throw....no wonder you miss it.:tongue: Just Teasing. I love Arizona. But on the bright side...you probably have AC house, a beautiful big cool pool & a awesome covered patio with a BBQ built in and now redwood leaves dropping on your car to make red stains??? See now who has it good?:laugh: :laugh:

    Enjoy, enjoy. The grass isn't always greener. unless you live in OR like Barbara:wink:
    Your killing me! I even miss the redwood droppings! Even if they did ruin my favorite blouse in high school because my mom hung it to dry outside!

    LOL I told my husband yesterday about you & how your from here originally...1st thing he said was Arizona? "No Trees".

    I love the dry look & he loves the Tree Look. So we have a Rock Water Fall less the Water in our yard. I have an idea....lets trade:laugh:

    No wonder your skinny...the heat wreaks my appetite! Am I right or what?:smokin:
  • Me = Omaha, Nebraska....

    I'm originally from Omaha, NE - born and raised in fact!!! I now reside in OKC, OKla.

    hahahahha. Yeah alot of the crime and drugs moved over to Salina, that city has gone down the crapper the last few years. I agree that whole area has tripled since I used to live in Manhattan. I was in a band back in 97-98, our guitarist was born and raised in JC. We'd go out there and pick him up for practice... it was bad (as you stated) hookers, drugs, shootings & stabbings. Most of the soldiers didn't even wanna hang out in JC, haha.

    p.s. i meant i'd rather hang myself then make the "drive" out there and back. 70 is the lamest drive thru Kansas.

    No trees in AZ.... that's for true! Unless you count cacti?? :laugh: :flowerforyou:
    I was in "plant & flower shock" moving to 'green OR' from 'brown AZ' in May.

    AZ is most beautiful in the spring & winter.
    OR is most beautiful in the summer & fall.
    CA is most beautiful all the dang time!
    I'll take a home in each place please! :laugh: :bigsmile:

    I'm a Jersey Girl. Lived here all my life except for a few years in Phoenix, AZ.

    I liked the Phoenix area. Didn't mind the heat, the lack of "green" and really liked the cacti.

    Now I live in the same town I went to grade & high school in. My kids have some of the same teachers I had in grade school.

    I agree with you about the drive west on I-70 but at least from KC to JC it's got some hills and variety to look at. Get west of Russell and it's like a moonscape all the way to Denver!:laugh: :laugh: No wonder they call eastern Colorado/western Kansas "the Outback"!!
