Thought it mite be interesting to here a lil abt where u guys live, whether state,country, province, township, whatever. I live in a town in northeast Louisiana, It used to be a small town but now I consider it a big town, tho, in my view, it has not reached 'city' status yet lol. We have great food here, ranging from hot, spicy cajun cuisine to down home southern cookin. To me, that's the best of both worlds. We evn have a locally owned pizza place that mixes Italian with cajun. U can actually order a crawfish pizza :) Forestry and farming are probably the 2 bigggest industries, tho gas exploration is coming on strong. Entertainment wise, we're inundated with forest and waterways that provide a multitude of oppurtunities. Fishing, boating, water skiing, camping on a river sandbar, hunting ,shooting, and biking are jus a few of the great things an outdoorsman can partake in. Now I wann hear abt where YOU live

Wow , what a wonderful place Louisiana is Rich ...

I'm a bit a wanderer so I don't know which one lol ...

I was born in the "jungle " in the western part of the Philippines . We ( my family) don't have any neighbors , no electricity , no modern technology well more of an Amish like lifestyle . Then I moved to the big city when I started work . Then when I was married , I moved from one country to another country ( Asia ) because of my EX job which gave me different environment & different dishes for 6 years . When we parted ways , I went back to the big city in the Philippines to worked and then move to HK for more than 2 years now ... Here in HK most of what you see are high rise residential or commercial buildings , shoppings malls here & there ( HK is the shopping capital of Asia ) and mountains . You can tour the whole country in less than 4 days ...

Beautifullyy written Ram! I come from a lil town of bout 2500 (if you count the surrounding ranches) Our main industry is cattle and oil. We r bout 30 miles outside Tulsa so we get the best of both worlds. Our school system is great! What I love most bout here sthat my family helped found this town, had the first bank and cafe and even small grocery store. My kids walk past th trophy walls every morning for school that is full of their relatives. Love my home

I live in a small town of willits california. We are the entrance to the red woods. Where about an hr or two away you can actually drive thru one of the redwoods. Any way our town has a casino a movie theater. Our biggest tourist season is summer. But the best part was our frontier days. Between june 25 to the 5Th of july. We have the sweetheart contest for our frontier sweetheat a rodeo almost everyday. A carnival. A parade bbq. Gymkanna. Street dances. It becomes the best of our town. The skunk train runs from here to the coast. But other than that its a small quiet town.
