Your hometown and why you enjoy living there.

[Fragony]

We all live somewhere and all places have their charm, so why promote it a bit. I live in Amersfoort, a tiny medieval town in the centre of Holland, small, quiet, pleasant. Full of bars and restaurants and of course a lot of old stuff. Lots of festivals in the summer, lots of tourists with other priorities then hash and hookers.

[Rhyfelwyr]

My hometown has a little less charm...

[Raz]

My hometown is less than 200 years old. It has no charm, it is not quaint, it is large compared to surrounding cities/towns, it is not modern, or retro, or post-modern, or old-school, or medieval, or historically significant in much ways. Thus is not interesting at all. :shame:

... well, to me at least.

[Husar]

Currently I live in Essen, a large city with beautiful exhaust fumes everwhere, charming old coal mines with rotten buildings, a new almost useless shopping center in the middle of the city and uhm, we also have an attraction and that would be me.
Ok, there are some negative sides to the city as well, like a working subway system, a university, it's a bit greener than other cities I heard and the people are actually quite nice here in general unlike my old home"town" where everyone either didn't know me or hated me(oh the charming village life of happiness)
Well, I don't have a lot of pictures and they aren't really good either but let me post two from around Christmas:

That's one of the big light thingies they put up when Norway was the guest/featured country, behind it is the Opera or Theater :sweatdrop:

One of the shopping streets in the city with Christmas lights, notice the lack of snow. :furious3:

[Veho Nex]

Well the Euro people are lucky they have so much history in their hometowns. My town was just a quaint farming community till 1941 where a military base and the only airbase north of SF till about 1960 was built. My grandparents worked there and we still live in the same house they got during the end of WW2

[Fragony]

Oh common Essen has some absolutily stunning parts the cathedral is one of germany's finest, one the oldest roman in Europe in fact?

Alright, Cardiff-

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/enervatedband/Cardiff_castle_autumn.jpg

We've got quite a nice castle, even if it is a bit of a hodge-podge; some Roman walls, a Norman keep, and then the clock tower and most of the interior done up in a neo-gothic style during the 19th C. by the Bute family.

Our lovely civic centre. The building in the centre of the foreground is our city hall, and the one to its right is the National Museum and Gallery of Wales, famous for its Monet collection.

[Togakure]

Wales looks very beautiful.

My home town is Sacramento, California, the capital of that state. I'm not living there now, but plan to be back there within a year or so.

It's lost most of its "charm," but is an hour and a half away from San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, an hour away from Napa Valley and the gold foothills, and has MUCH better weather than where I am currently (outside of NYC). State government jobs abound in Sac. The northern California coast is just a few hours away driving, and is a favorite hangout of mine--oodles of charm and natural beauty.

Hey Raz, which city do you actually live in? Perth would fit all of those indicators, ie Boring and uninteresting. At Least I'm not in Adelaide! :laugh4: jk.

My original 'hometown' although not my city of birth, was Chester in England. Quaint, historical, but overplays the Romaness a touch too much. I mean 3/4 of the 'Roman' Walls date from the Medieval period.

The Cathedral though is pretty spectacular, and this is coming form a professed atheist!

[seireikhaan]

I live in Southern Sydney (More specifically The Sutherland Shire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherland_Shire)) and I love it here. The area is known for being really elitist/snobish (I know that all of the Sydneysiders who read this thread will roll their eyes when they see my post) but seriously - we are the greatest place in the Soutehrn Hemisphere. Awesome people (minus the racists), awesome beaches, and just plain awesome everything else.

As for Sydney in general this is where most of my relatives live and where I go to University. I couldn't move out, even if I wanted to.

Thank you Fragony! It is very nice here. One can just walk around in the city and look at all the patrician buildings [I used to live in a house of a very rich 11th-12th century merchant family].

Where I live right now [the very right part of the panorama wiki-pic], I am only a 3 minutes walk away from a park built around the rest of an old fortification.

Enough with the braggin`....

But if you come to Southern Germany [in other words Bavaria] you have to check out Regensburg. It is only 1h by train from Nürnberg [known as Evil Maniac from Marses home as I just learned & from the acclaimed MTW2] or 1,5h from Munich....Ynd U may get a Subedei-history tour of the city...incl. a visit in the medieval torture room...just to look, no testing necessary.

Cheers, Sub

Can you consider BFE as a town? If not then I don't have one and don't live there. More people should leave their home towns; you'll gain more from leaving your comfort zone.

No kidding! My cousin goes to university there!

[Justiciar]

I spent the first three years of my life in York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York). I've only been back there around eight times since, though I've yet to fall out of love with the place. Like Chester they tend to go a bit far with the whole Viking/Roman connection, but they're so tacky about it that it's quite endearing. The Minster, Walls, and ruins of St Mary's Abbey are all pretty darn groovy. One of the great historical towns of Europe, I dare say.

Stockport (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockport) on the other hand is.. umm.. different.

Amersfoort and Regensburg look bleedin' gorgeous.

[Martok]

I consider myself to have two hometowns -- Willmar, MN and Spicer, MN. They're okay, but neither place is worth writing home about either.

You live in Montana? Then why did I think you were a Wisconsinite? :dizzy2:

[Tamur]

I'm here near Madison as of last summer, but it doesn't feel like somewhere that we'll stay for too long. Absolutely gorgeous with all the green, and the gardener in me is thrilled, but the lack of snow-capped mountains is strangely stifling.

I've heard the opposite from people who grew up here and moved to the Rockies, that they felt claustrophobic there, and moved back. I guess it all depends what you're used to, this hometown thing ~:)

Sydney, but North Sydney, near Manly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manly%2C_New_South_Wales), the best beach in Sydney. But I hate the CBD, it's so boring and dull. I need trees, soil and air. My original hometowns are Islington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington) (I'm a Gooner, go figure :laugh4:), then here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldon) (village with the oldest still standing church in England IIRC).

Regensburg!! That's the town that they used/mentioned so often in my German Textbooks back in school. :laugh4:

[TinCow]

I don't really consider the place I live to be my 'hometown' since I have moved many times in my life, but I've been here for 5 years now and I'm not moving again anytime soon, so I suppose it is home for a while. This is my 'town':

http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/places/images/photos/photo_lg_washingtondc.jpg

Washington DC is definitely a place to have mixed feelings about. It's got some of the worst traffic problems in the entire nation. This is partly due to an incredibly inadequate and poorly funded public transportation system and partly due to a massive population explosion over the previous 20 years that has overloaded the existing infrastructure. This same population explosion has also made real estate prices absurdly high.

Despite that, the city itself is very clean, well-maintained, and looks good. There is an enormous amount of stuff to do here, and some of the best museums and cultural attractions in the entire country. The food scene has also exploded in the past 5 to 10 years, and there are numerous world-class restaurants, wine bars, and other foodie attractions in the area to sate my appetite for gluttony. On top of it all, you can fly directly to most places in the world, and it's got easy access to all of North America and Europe.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with Washington DC. The main disadvantages to living here can be alleviated if you have a high enough income, and fortunately things have been moving in my favor in that area for a while now. I think it would be a lot harder to live a 'nice' life here on the typical income, even harder than in New York City. I'll enjoy being here for as long as I'm here, though I don't think I'll miss it when I eventually move.

[Ser Clegane]

Currently living in Frankfurt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt) - the city itself is OK (probably a bit better than its image). It misses a certain charme but certainly has some nice corners.

On the plus side are the great logistics (at least you get away from Frankfurt pretty quckly - be it by car, train or plane ~;)), and the nice surrounding area (e.g. Taunus - added the German Wikipedia link as it offers more pics (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taunus))

This summer we will actually move to Eppstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eppstein), a small town in the Taunus (longer way to work - but the nice vicinity is worth it ~:))

But my "hometown" (i.e. where I was born and where I lived for 25 years) would actually be Göttingen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ttingen) - very nice university city (~20% of the residents are actually students at the University) - I always love to visit the city again.

I've been in the area for 16 years, and I still don't consider it my hometown. I suppose it's as good as it can get when the area has 3 separate governments, all at odds with the others, and one of which is broke and reliant on the federal government for handouts.

Ah, yes, how could I have forgotten the weather? Hot and sweaty in the summer, and an almost complete lack of snow in the winter. Yet there's always some brief snowstorms and the city never manages to prepare for them very well. Still, I do like the place overall. For all its flaws, there's a lot of stuff to do and it IS a pretty city in my opinion. I've seen many national capitals, and ours is definitely sprinkled with enough monuments, great structures, and museums to compete with any of them. It's a surprising showing for a city that was at best third tier 20+ years ago.

Is beautiful, like much of western Montana as the few orgahs who have been or lived here can attest. Helena is quaint, very little crime, and a good place to raise a family. the townspeople themselves are a little introverted, but once you are accepted you are considered to be a part of their family, and they will literally do anything for you. As far as history goes, if you want to look at the area in Western eyes, yes there is very little history, about 140 years worth, but in the natives eyes, this place is ancient, some stories date back as far as 4000 BC so europe and much of North Africa has relatively little on us (and much of America for that matter). Its just adjusting, I've heard that being 3,500 ft above sea level can be a little exhausting for someone not used to it. :laugh4:

Edit: and as weird as it may sound coming from an American, many Montanans feel partial to our French Forefathers who were the true bringers of both Catholicism and cultural acceptance to our fair land. More so than the British, or even white American settlers who came much later.

I was about born 20 minutes south of here in Fairifax, Virginia. I grew up as this place was exploding in Herndon (Known Today as Oak Hill). When my parents moved here in the early 80s, there was practically nothing. I went back 5 years and the place had exploded. None of my childhood forests where I build tree forts and played with my friends remained. i was a bit depressed by it really. I have so many found early childhood memories there. It's probably even grown more since I've been back.

I already told you I would love to see Montana, but how on earth?.. How about if you create some outrageous news item. So I can casually walk into my chief editor's office at the right moment, to hear him say 'Um, Adrian, I've been toying with this funny idea. Since you pretend you're the only one in Europe with sensible ideas about the U.S., how would you like to.. ' and then, after feigning complete surprise and a long moment's hesitation, I could say 'Well, if I have to.. '
As far as history goes, if you want to look at the area in Western eyes, yes there is very little history Can we stop this historic pissing contest? AFAIK the Indians have it, despite bogus Chinese claims, and none of us gets even close to the age of their Indus civilization, nor do we care to. Injuns and Injun history is just fine with me. :yes:

Helsinki, where Kagemusha lives, is another option. As I remember it, Helsinki is spaceous, very elegant, totally relaxed, a bit like Lisbon on a crystal-clear fjord. And the thought of those big yachts and historic frigates smack in the middle of it makes my mouth water.

You wouldn't say that if you grew up in a small town. Trust me.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that growing up in rural small-town America was truly bad per se -- it does have its advantages. But it's definitely not all that and a bag of chips. :no: There's a reason I moved from Willmar to Minneapolis....and the universe willing, I don't intend to return anytime soon (except to visit friends & family, of course).

[GeneralHankerchief]

Cherry Hill, New Jersey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_Hill). Can't say too much about it, really. It's a typical suburb that's grown way too much. We had a great opportunity a few years ago - anyone remember the New Jersey Derby horserace? - The racetrack was torn down with the promise that we'd get our own little main street, complete with shops and parks and houses and everything. Instead, we got a strip mall (some highlights being a Wegman's with the sorriest excuse for a clock tower I have ever seen, a "Christmas Shoppe" store that operates year-round, and a Home Depot that moved from literally the strip mall 100 feet down the road that was supposed to be the big thing ten years ago) and a horribly-named "Town Center Drive" that gets its own traffic light but is pretty much a transit street that goes into the parking lot. Oh, and the Fort Dix would-be terrorists from last year grew up here.

On the bright side, there is a nice little park that's a national historic landmark that's about five minutes from my house. The highlight is the woods. Not much, but there are a few trails and a little creek running through it.

That's actually really funny you say that. Reason being is because my roommate last year went there and HATED it. He said it was so dressed up for tours it was unbelievable. He mentioned the cafeteria, which he said was closed most of the time after when he attended. He transferred after one semester.
