If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live and why?
Why do you love where you live now? What's the best part of your city/state?
Googled pics are fun to add too!!!

Re: GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world...
As for my city (philadelphia), it can be scary at times and apparently, there's a lot of murdering going on too at times. But, I am very happy to say that I've never encountered any form of attack in my life other than verbally. Downtown Philly is the shit. When I was growing up, I went downtown a lot and started learning my way around the area. It got boring for a bit until I turned 21 and could actually get into places lol. Now I'm still discovering clubs, bars and other social activities. There's a lot of history in a lot of the buildings which is just beautiful to look at. Like rittenhouse square or old city. We've also got some incredibly fancy and incredibly delicious foods. I've always wanted to move into one of the apartments down there but, I would forever be in debt if I did lol. But it can really be a charming and fun place to be. Especially during the holiday season when the christmas lights are up. And it's also a damn fabulous spot for wedding pictures. Just sayin...
I live in champaign, illinois. We have the university of illinois here so this town has everything anyone could need even though we are 2.5 hours away from Chicago. It's nice here. Illinois as a state sucks though.
As for where we live now, there isn't much that I like. We live in a neighborhood in a small city. The best thing is that we are close to the grocery store. We live here because it is financially smart,but would prefer to be living in the country and have actually been looking for a place in the country. I'm on mobile and it doesn't like me to upload pics or I would.
I live on Long Island, which used to be great when I was a kid. 20 minutes from NYC and 15 minutes from the beach. Now it is too congested, people are nasty, and the neighborhood I live in is going downhill. Plus it's way too expensive to live here. We are moving down to Charlotte, North Carolina in six months or so and I can't wait. The people are nicer, the housing is more affordable, it's a slightly slower pace of life, and a great area to raise a family.

If I could live anywhere in the world I would want a summer house AND a winter house. A summer house in Paris to take in all the sites, eat amazing buttery foods and pastries, and take in all the history and culture. In the winter I would want to be somewhere tropical and warm, with a beach. Not too picky there.
As far as where I'm at now, I don't call it "home" since I'm here for school. I'm in Chicago area, which is great. The city has a lot to offer and there is always something to do, but I'm from Indiana and love wide open spaces, green fields, beautiful changing fall leaves, old covered bridges, and great lakes.
Right now, I live in Brooklyn, New York. The best part of living here is definitely being so close to Manhattan, and the diversity. In the city, you can find any type of food you could ever dream of...it's truly amazing!
