How Close (Geographically) Are You To A Fellow DUer, Right Now?

[Yavin4]

I'm in the West Village, NYC. Where are you?

[NightWatcher]

1. Savannah, Georgia here

yes, we get the internet's down here in Dixie

[Tuesday Afternoon]

49. How was the St Paddy's parade this year?

Isn't it normally a huge (hugh) event in Savannah?

[NightWatcher]

76. St Pattys was weird because they moved it up a from Monday to Friday the 14th

this was because of 'holy week'. There were more than a few tourists who showed up on Monday expecting a parade.

We tradionally have the 2nd largest parade in the nation.

[Richard Steele]

64. I was just down there 3 weeks ago, for the first time.

Beautiful city you got there! :thumbsup:

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Right this second, about...6 feet

:)

[Pale Blue Dot]

7. I've got you beat - 2 feet.

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Pffft! Couch Potatoes!!

:rofl:


:yoiks:

[NJmaverick]

3. Northern NJ- A stones throw away from NYC

[lost-in-nj]

9. Its a toss up

between nomad
and Haruka and LIV...

oh yeah OMC

and Drainbamaged....

not sure of the logistics....
ThomCat and Lioness are in NY not to far either...

hmmmmmmm


who is closest?????

Passaic County!!!



lost

[LostinVA]

26. I think us and then OMC

Where we are in Morris is pretty close to you... about TWENTY MINUTES

[NJmaverick]

62. How did you end up with a Lost in VA screen name?

Did you move to NJ or was your screen name formed while you were on vacation?

[LostinVA]

69. I was in Virginia, and moved up here last August

I meant Haruka through DU, and we were married in September. I moved here, because the laws here are better than in VA! We have the same marital rights here as straight married couples. Haruka was already living here.

[NJmaverick]

73. How do you like this state?

You don't see many people moving into NJ, usually out. Although I personally think NJ, is a nice place to live. Although I doubt it's as scenic as VA.

[LostinVA]

74. I grew up in South Jersey

The area we're in is very nice, but the traffic during my commute sucks, and property taxes are so high, it's making it very difficult for us.

Having said that: I DO like NONJ alot, and I like having the City so close.

[NJmaverick]

75. Traffic and property taxes the State's 2 biggest problems

I often thought that a smart Governor would put a 5 or 10 cent tax on gas that would go to a fund dedicated to improving the traffic problem. The way I figure, that would pay for itself, by saving time and gas.

As for property tax, I am not sure there is an easy solution. There needs to be a consolidation of services at the local levels and the educational costs need to be looked at. Not sure how any town can stay in business, when it's costing 12-20K for every child sent to school.

[LostinVA]

78. I agree about consolidation

The "township/boro/etc." system here in NJ cripples the State monetarily (imo). I've lived in both NC and VA for24 years between my two NJ living experiences, and both areas (especially NC) is great at the consolidation of services. I think doing this, like how Morris County has a library consortium, would help ALOT.

I lived in a VERY expensive part of VA, where housing prices were similar to here, but the tax base was much less. I mean, even if you can handle a mortgage for a $300,000 home, how the hell can most working families then afford $6-7k for taxes on a 1,500 sft home? Crazy. We don't live close enough to NYC to warrant that.

[NJmaverick]

60. The eastern side of Essex County

I can be in the city in less than 15 minutes, with no traffic.

[LostinVA]

70. She'd prefer a spank

:spank:

HARDER!!!

[DarkTirade]

25. I know of at least one who's just in the next town over.

In fact, I probably passed right by her on the way to and from choir practice tonight. :P

[BarenakedLady]

66. That depends

On where choir practice is.

There are at least three other DUers in the area that I know about. But you are the closest to me. Lucky you. :P

[DarkTirade]

95. I was at Skyline H S this past Saturday for the Convention

so we were pretty damn close. I'm in Louisville, otherwise.

[JTG of the PRB]

122. Hey, I know where Louisville is!

It's that place that has the only relatively cheap movie theatre in the area!

No, seriously, I know where it is. I'm a local. I can get there without street directions now!

[fizzgig]

115. yay boulder!

for having lived in noco for nearly my entire life, i still don't even need a whole hand to count the number of times i've been to boulder x(

i really should change that

[JTG of the PRB]

123. You should! I love Boulder.

I'm looking forward to living there again in exactly 38 days. Boulder has been home for me ever since I was 3 1/2. I basically spend all my time down there, except for half of Saturdays and all of Sundays... And when I'm sleeping too. Other than that, I'm basically still in Boulder constantly.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

[NMDemDist2]

51. i know there's a DUer in the next small town over

which I find amazing, since we both live in small towns in a red area.

[MrsBrady]

53. North Richland Hills, TX -- Tarrant County (Fort Worth, really)

[terrya]

68. I'm in Chicago

There's a veritable contingent of DU'ers near me. :-)

[crim son]

71. Good question.

I know there is at least one DUer in the next town, Brewer, and one other somewhere here in Bangor, though she's not a prolific poster. If there are others I'm not aware of them. Kinda sad, really. :cry: :P

[PassingFair]

72. 2 Blocks.....

from the Unsinkable Mrs. Grumpy...

[madinmaryland]

77. I think it is GoddessofGuinness.

Then turtlensue and the ones she listed.

:shrug:

[seemunkee]

85. I don't even rate a mention

I see where I stand.

[madinmaryland]

93. I didn't know you were even from Maryland.

:hi:

On edit: GoG had a meetup in Columbia last year, which we crossed paths but didn't know who we were looking for (D'oh).

I'm not sure if she actually lives in Columbia, but she is in the Columbia Orch.

[Heidi]

80. 20 feet?

I'm in my studio and CMW is in his office. :hi:

[soleft]

91. Wall Street

:scared:

[madinmaryland]

94. NY?

I worked in several offices on Wall Street, but didn't know there was any residential there.

:shrug:

[soleft]

109. Oh, were we talking residences?

I thought he meant at the exact moment. I work down here.

But actually, over the past few years, there are apartment buildings going up all over the place. Wall Street,Maiden Lane, John Street. There's an NYU dorm across the street from me. And now that the fish market is gone, the area will probably see a lot more gentrification over the next few years.

[theredpen]

92. Within 90 million miles

give or take

[laylah]

96. Within minutes from Oceansway nt

[YellowRubberDuckie]

97. FifthGenDem is like five miles away from me in here OKC.

I really do need to take her to Chili's at some point. OR maybe Moe's since I've got a Coupon. :evilgrin:
On edit: The husband (Duckiesplaything) is like five miles away at work in the other direction, but usually it's like ten feet away max.
Duckie

[JackBeck]

:hi:probably within a very few miles, perhaps blocks.

[KamaAina]

103. The Iwilei section of Honolulu, once a notorious red-light district

these days the epicenter of the city's surprisingly harge homeless population.

Distance from Honolulu to Newark airports is 4,969 nautical miles; tack on another 10 or so for the West Village.

Next nearest DUer to here is probably ellisonz, on the UH-Manoa campus about four miles across town.

[ceile]

104. A couple of blocks, I think.

I work downtown so I'm pretty sure there's a DUer w/ in a stones throw of here.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

105. Irving, TX (Valley Ranch) - near 635 & MacArthur Blvd.

I think Maestro works in Irving - don't know if any other DUers live in Irving.

[SacredCow]

107. I know there are some others in Baton Rouge...

But I've never met them. Heck, I've not interacted with them on here, even.

What's more, I've not personally met ANY DUers. How pathetic is that? :cry:

Never actually met any though. I'm debating whether to go to the Sacto Norcal meetup in a couple of weeks.

[Burma Jones]

114. there's a bunch of us in Montgomery County, MD

and i am sure there are more :hi:

[azmouse]

117. I know there are plenty of DUers here in the Phoenix area

but I haven't met any of them yet.
I would guess there is at least one within a few miles of me right now.

[BlueIris]

118. Not posting location. But a certain Lounger and I have probably passed each other on the street,

or in the Comm Center a few times. Hi, you!

[PleadTheFirst]
