Title: About where we live
Post by: Noname on October 02, 2009, 03:38:18 PM
A very simple thread; each one of us says one thing about where we live per post. I expect that we will learn many interesting things! And no, we do not need to post where we live if we don't want to, and we shouldn't expect others to have to guess.
 
I'll start.

Where I live, the subways run all day and all night.

Where I live attracts many tourists every year.  Good for the local economy, bad for the residents, especially traffic :lol.  Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on a car recently:

"It's tourist season!  Can we shoot 'em?"

 :lol

Where I live boasts one of the Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World: The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.  It is twenty miles long, twenty-three miles if the approach roads are included.

Where I live, we have many bridges, some of which might be deemed "wonders" in their own time... plus a VERY big statue!

The main park where I live is VERY well known for the high school cross country races it hosts pretty much at least once a week every fall.

Where I live a form of vehicle rock-paper-scissors is always in effect:

-Bikers have the right of way over pedestrians (if you don't like it you can get flattened)
-Pedestrians have the right of way over cars
-cars have the right of way over bikers

Where I live, they are a lot of bikers, but still far more cars. They also have lots of buses.

The mayor of my city is staying on past his term, as she got them to change the rules. I hate that. I call him the "Grand Duke."  <_<

Where I live is nicknamed "The Air-Conditioned City", because of the cooling effect the large lake next to it has on it in the summer.
