The only reason location on these forums interested me is that Anton on here PMd me informing he lived so very close to me, while I've had the mindset for about 5 years no one else intelligent around here would hop on forums such as... Modacity or be interested in Halo CE.:XD:

So post your location and tell about it if you want, and I'll start us out here. Williamsburg, Kentucky... a pretty small town in south-east Kentucky, not alot goes on around here but it is peaceful.

Vancouver, British Columbia where I now live:
http://z.about.com/d/gocanada/1/0/o/0/-/-/Vancouver_Aerial.jpg

We get snow here, but not half as much as in other provinces, especially Alberta. This year though there was a LOT more snow than before (caught many Vancouverites off guard), but thankfully it's all melted (and been replaced by a less-hateful fog). The Metro Vancouver area (usually associated with main Vancouver, Richmond, and Burnaby) is ranked as one of the most desirable places in the world to live, partly because its climate is among the least extreme in Canada.

The city-state where I was born:

Guess where that is. Hint: Several decades before I was born, the U.K. owned this place.

It's three sky-scrapers and 90 miles of suburbs. Live in a real American city.

I have a few friends in your 'hood bacon. Personally, I'm not much for the small house, green lawn, and yard decoration sprawl. The only nice house on my friend's block was built with money from the hired-trucker scandal. :haw:

Texas? I don't know much about it but it doesn't seem to get as much attention as other states do. Other American cities I like are Cambridge, MA; Bothell, WA; Manhattan (bloody expensive to live there though), wherever Yosemite is located, and Roanoke.

Lol yours doesn't get any more attention than his. Are these the only places within the U.S. you've stayed, or your choice out of more?

Nah, I've been to more places than that. The place where I actually lived for a bit (and probably my favorite U.S. region of all) is Silicon Valley.

Places in America I've been to: Straight paths through Washington state and Oregon state (in 2004 we made a long drive up north and imported our vehicle into Canada as the final step of migration), all of Silicon Valley, downtown San Fran, LA, San Diego, Yosemite, NYC, Boston, Cambridge, Roanoke, Baltimore, Washington DC, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. I've still got a lot of ground to cover down there!

Also, my family drives down to Washington state at least once every 2 months, so I'm quite familiar with Bellingham, Bothell, and parts of Seattle.

Ok that was slightly off topic, oh well.

Here's another one of my past locations (Shanghai, where my paternal ancestors come from):
