I also live in Washington, DC (I go to school there) but I figure that y'all know what that looks like.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Beautiful Manhattan Beach!

Edited to add: California....

[Joe Fields]

79. No kidding? My aunt lives on Manhattan Beach, just a block from the beach.

[Joe Fields]

80. Harry Truman's home town...

on edit, I placed this response in the wrong spot. Of course, Harry Truman's hometown was not Manhattan Beach. But it should have been....

[Omphaloskepsis]

15. Eugene, Oregon..

[Adsos Letter]

[Lex]

18. Durham, North Carolina

[evlbstrd]

20. Kansas City.

[Guava Jelly]

69. That place looks familiar

:silly:

[evlbstrd]

78. Can you see my house?

[Guava Jelly]

89. Can you see mine

[evlbstrd]

93. That's where I thought you were.

I'm on the other side of the Trafficway.

[Guava Jelly]

95. I love it here

I can walk to the World Market buy a bottle of vino and be back at the computer in under 15 minutes.
:woohoo:
Only a stones throw away.

[evlbstrd]

103. Ain't it great?

I walk to work, the grocery store, post office, library. It's easy to get a bus downtown. I don't need nothin' from the suburbs.

edit to add: Spring and Summer bring out some very nice scenery, too.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Irvine California

Below is an aerial photo of the UC Irvine campus

[mainegreen]

22. The Original Portland, Maine.

Can also be called 'the big pile of bricks by the water'

[Jimbo S]

26. Didn't realize the lake in the center was that big.

Neat picture. I'll show my wife. I can see where we ate dinner.

[mainegreen]

28. Let me guess: DeMillos Floating Restaurant?

:D

[Jimbo S]

114. Yes. But I'm sure you knew that. :)

I posted the pic last month. :)

[Gormy Cuss]

41. That lake is actually Back Cove.

On the far shore is a public park space along Baxter Blvd. Back Cove is one of those reclamation jewels. Forty years ago it was so polluted you wouldn't want to get near the edge.

I remember you asking for ideas on your New England trip --- glad to hear you made it to Ptld.

:D

[mainegreen]

42. And would you believe it, Marginal Way by the cove is up and coming.

The scrap yards are headed out and rather tall brick buildings are moving in. All in about three years.

[Gormy Cuss]

43. Good move for the city in terms of tax base.

It makes sense to develop that area because it's got good highway and waterfront access and the views from any building over three stories will be quite amazing. I guess the way won't be so marginal anymore.

:silly:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

62. YAHOO FOR MY PILE OF BRICKS!

YAWAHOAOAOAOAOAOA!

:P

[fight4my3sons]

111. I love going to Portland

I wouldn't call Phippsburg a city :rofl: We don't even have a traffic light.

We go to Portland for the Children's Museum and shopping sometimes. We were just there for The Mother's Acting Up Mother's Day thing at Deering Oaks Park. My kids love that playground.

[Deep13]

23. close to Akron, OH

In a town, not the city.

[KamaAina]

24. Honolulu, HI

most isolated urban center on the planet.

Don't look now, but gas apparently now costs more in six mainland states than it does here... :eyes:

[Gormy Cuss]

25. San Francisco inner East Bay

AKA Contra Costa county.

[Inchworm]

27. Lansing, NC

Population 150! Saaaalute! :applause:



Edit: for pic

[Beausoleil]

29. San Antonio, TX

[Saphire]

63. San Antonio, Texas

[Beausoleil]

116. Hey, neighbor!

:hi:

[av8rdave]

30. Dallas/Ft Worth area

[mwdem]

121. DFW area for me, too...

:hi:

[av8rdave]

122. Hello, neighbor!

:hi:

[mwdem]

124. Hello, yourself!

I've only been here nearly 2 years, and am still getting used to the area. It seem like I've been travelling more than living here so far.

[av8rdave]

125. I understand...I travel for a living, so I'm gone almost as much as I'm here

Been living here temporarily for 20 years now. It does grow on you after a while.

[mwdem]

127. I like both cities.

Dallas has a little of the cosmopolitan flair, and Ft. Worth is just plain fun. I've done the rodeo, and I love Sundance Square on a weekend. The gardens in Ft. Worth are great, so are the museums I'm still checking out. There's a lot to do here, or you can just relax on your patio for a quiet evening.

[av8rdave]

132. Both towns are fun for their own reason

I've tended to favor Ft Worth more. I lived in Phoenix for several years in the early 80s, and Ft Worth reminds more of that than Dallas does.

[aQuArius]

146. Grand Prairie, right in the middle...

I've invited the local DUer's to "Damn Yankees" (the musical). I will be playing the female lead in GPAC's summer production... http://www.artsgp.com/current_cast_and_show.htm

[av8rdave]

156. I would love to go...

I'm close by (Grapevine). Unfortunately, I'll be out of country over virtually all of the dates :(

Break a leg!

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

31. Salt Lake City, Utah

It's very pretty here, but a VERY conservative, social atmosphere and culture. I think I'll be moving in the near future. I'd really like to get away and experience some where new.

[SPKrazy]

58. Having grown up north of there

in Logan

you ain't seen conservative until you've been there, Salt Lake is cosmopolitan compared to that.

[bluethruandthru]

74. I second that!

I grew up in Tooele and Salt Lake was like an Oasis or normalcy!

[aQuArius]

145. Sandy, Riverton, Ephraim, Ogden & SLC...

I know SL, Davis & Weber Counties like the back of my hand. Grew-up in Sandy, college in Ephraim, mom lives in Ogden now, sister in WJ, nightlife in SLC. In fact, I'll be flying home to be with my fam tomorrow for the weekend. I live in Fort Worth, TX now... but not all that more liberal than SLC. This IS the bible belt. :hi:

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

101. I know Logan very well

My family on my mom's side is from Logan/Providence, I spent many summers up there and, yes, it does make Salt Lake look less up tight.

[Pierre.Suave]

33. Minneapolis MN

[myrna minx]

48. Hey, I know that skyline!

[Burma Jones]

40. Boyds, MD

[GoddessOfGuinness]

68. The Boyds are coming!

[hellbound-liberal]

73. Hey GoddessOfGuiness! I used to live in Germantown. I now live just north of Richmond,VA

We really miss the area and all of our Democratic neighbors!

[TZ]

84. Well I currently live in Germantown,,,,,

and I will say "hi" to all the Democratic neighbors! (Ugh- Richmond...did you suffer "culture shock"?):)

[hellbound-liberal]

85. Yes, I really have suffered "culture shock" in some respects.

Most of the people I work with are conservative if not Republican and I generally don't talk politics at work. I have signed up with the local Democratic committee but I haven't gotten too involved yet. I believe there are pockets of progressives around here, especially in the city of Richmond itself, but I've been spending most of my time at work so I haven't made too many connections. I plan to go to the local Unitarian church to try to meet some other like minded people eventually. Hope you're enjoying Germantown. Hope you get involved in keeping it blue!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

107. I have some Democratic friends in Richmond...

In fact, I think there are some other DUers who live there. The tide is turning, I think. I'll bet you'll find yourself with more Democratic neighbors before too long! :hug:

[TZ]

81. That's the "real" Boyds then.. (vs my Germantown)

Not the "soccerplex" Boyds where a friend of mine lives.

[smtpgirl]

143. I thought the SoccerPlex was in Germantown proper

I think that I might know you turtlensue

My niece used to play with the WAGS, now she is with Mont Co Soccer.

She plays varsity volleyball at PHS

[TZ]

151. Boyds is a "trendy" name for a part of Germantown...

Thats on the side of 118 near the Soccerplex. One friend of mine lives near it and her address is Boyds. Another friend lives literally accross the street off of 118 (near Kingsview Middle School) and thats listed as Germantown.
Wish I could say I know you, but unlikely since I have no kids. I have a friend in Damascus though that you may know (who is also an ex-terp and at one time I thought you might be her...):)

[lizerdbits]

88. Oh that's pretty

I'm looking into hiking trails in the Germantown area after some awesome hiking vacationing in MT. I'll have to check out stuff around there. I'm near part of the Seneca Creek trail, I think it goes up toward Frederick but I'm not sure how far.

[kwassa]

115. Gaithersburg, MD, close to Boyds

dirty, stinking, filthy Boyds ....

Just kidding, it is a line from "The Producers"

47. Ottawa

Canada's National Capitol







The Boycott Ottawa Webring is open to all websites regardless of content whose webmasters support our boycott of Ottawa, and who seek to see all Pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides) banned in the misguided heartless city of Ottawa! A ugly toxic city awash in pesticides, where having sterile green lawns and showy lifeless gardens is more
important than having healthy happy dogs, cats, and children.

Milford, Pennsylvania

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

70. my old neighbor again!

[Duncan Grant]

52. "Bagdahd by the Bay" -- They really used to call it that.

Bagdahd doesn't have the same connotation that it once did...

I can't find enough pictures to do it justice. It really is beautiful and a great place to see in person.



Annapolis, capital of the state of Maryland, has the oldest state capital building still in use in the U.S. It was completed in 1779, and actually served as the capital of the United States for 9 months after the end of the Revolutionary War. It was here that the new U.S. Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, officially ending the War of Independence with Great Britian. The nation's 1st president, George Washington, was here.
