Where are you from?
 

Hey everyone,

I love to hear about different places around the world. Thought it would be fun for people to say something about where they are from and attractions by them.

I will start: I am from Western Massachusetts. Fall season ( changing of the leaves) is a real big attraction here. Pumpkin craving and painting. Basketball Hall of Fame, Volleyball Hall of Fame.

It is a very quiet area I live in. Weather is nice here. Although this summer has been very hot and humid. (Like most of the US.).

Hope others join in.

Born and raised in Alaska, here. We do not have the beautiful falls that New England is known for (I would love to see it sometime!). Basically our leaves turn yellow and fall off in about a week, haha. We go from summer to winter pretty fast. Summer is a huge time for tourists for us from all over. Winter we still get some tourists, mostly to see the Northern Lights. I love living here, I feel very rooted and don't want to ever leave. In the summer I love hiking, in the winter I love snowmobiling.

Eagle, Thanks for your reply. I have always wanted to go on a cruise to Alaska.

Is it true that you get such huge heads of cabbage etc.?

I am from Pittsburgh, home of the Steelers, Penquins and Pirates, all great winning teams!! Our weather isn't so great though, and I would love to visit the rest of the country. We get all 4 seasons, which I love, but this year our summer has felt like a sauna, not to my liking. Fall is just around the corner!

Eagle River Dee, DH and I watch that TV show Alaskan Bush People, about a family surviving in the wild. I'm assuming Alaska is not like that everywhere! LOL

Carol,

Thanks for your reply. Patriots, Bruins fan here. I hear you on the weather. I am sick of being in the house with the AC. I could never live in the south. You ever been to the Amish area?

Born and raised in South Carolina, then moved to central Washington about 6 months ago. We hope to move somewhere on the west side as soon as we find jobs over there.

Central Alberta, Canada here. I've never lived anywhere else.

Thanks Lauren and Auntie Jam for your reply.

Auntie Jam I have been to Canada around Niagara Falls Beautiful area. I was impressed how clean and well kept up everything was.

Lauren never been to South Carolina or Washington. South Carolina is too hot for me. I have wanted to go to Washington there is so much history there.

We do indeed get the huge heads of cabbage (as well as huge zucchini and huge pumpkins) in Alaska due to our 20+ hours of daylight in the summer.

And Alaska is nothing like the reality shows in general. Thank goodness!

I am in Colorado Springs Co. Married no kids.

Looks like I am the foreigner :D

I live in a Town called Ayr, which is on the south west coast of Scotland :D

We get two seasons here, Winter with rain and wind, then Summer, which is like winter but with slighter warmer rain and wind.

Hi all!
I'm from southern New Jersey (near Cape May) We've had some interesting weather this year. This summer has been extremely hot and humid! Although I love summer, I am very much looking forward to fall...we usually have awesome falls.

New York City with a place on the beach to decompress. I've lived in Florida and Vermont. Love New England, one of my favorite places to visit.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

I too am sick of the humidity. So glad fall is coming soon.

Yes Scotsgirl so far you are the only oversea member to respond. But it just happens to be from one of my favorite places I would like to visit.

Eagle wow those pictures of those cabbage heads from Alaska sure could make alot of galumpkie for me. (Polish decent).

Best time of the year coming up fairs and foliage season. But they are saying cause of the drought the won't be so vibrant. :(:(
