GTKY: Where do you live?

catem07 · September 2016

Stole this from the TTGP board. Where you do you live (feel free to be as vague or specific as you want) and what's your favorite part of living there?

catem07 · September 2016

I live in the Boston area. My favorite part of living here is quick and easy access to an airport with a lot of direct flights that aren't too $$$.

dam0ne4 · September 2016

I live in Western NY (Buffalo area

The housing is affordable, we have 4 seasons, and our city has been experiencing a lot of positive changes. I'm happy to see that it's finally on the upswing!

HarryPotterandCats · September 2016

Southern New Hapshire!

Ekzerr · September 2016

I live in Manitoba, Canada...I love how different all the seasons are. And also that we live so close to Grand Forks, ND for a fun weekend shopping getaway

herewegrow · September 2016

Kentucky. I love it because it's the best state to live in! Bluegrass, basketball, rolling hills, everything!

BeachMommy2B · September 2016

I live in a popular beach town in Central Florida. I love that the beach is only about a 10 min drive from our house since we live mainland but Orlando is also only about 45 min away. So we really have the best of both worlds. Theme Parks, Shopping, Nightlife not far and Sun, Sand, Waves in our town.

Mid-sized city in Louisiana. I LOVE the food here and the people are super friendly!! However, my heart is in Texas always

peachy0709 · September 2016

I live in a major city in the South - I'm pretty sure my avatar makes its clear which one

I grew up here, and I'm so excited to have my children grow up here, too. DD was actually not born here (she was born in DH's home state while he was in grad school), but I think she's quickly adapting to summer starting in April

peachy0709 · September 2016

@catem07 - All of my friends from college live in Boston/the Boston area, so I'm there with some frequency! We really like it every time we visit.

artemis618 · September 2016

Santa Monica, CA. I actually like the marine layer because it keeps it a little cooler than inland

. It's kind of beachy while still being adjacent to civilization (Los Angeles).

M&Max · September 2016

We are in the suburbs of Atlanta. I absolutely love living in the south and can't imagine my kids growing up anywhere else.

ladameperdue · September 2016

New York City/Manhattan. It's a cool experience, and I love the convenience of having babies here, but I don't think we'll be here forever.

abbythebigdiehl · September 2016

We live in Phoenix. My husband is from Chicago and I would have loved living there but I needed to be near my family. Had to take care of my mom during chemo and my sister and I had babies two weeks apart so they'll grow up together which is awesome. But honestly family is the only reason we are here. I miss the Midwest.

emox3232 · September 2016

We live in central PA right on the Maryland line. The best part about living there is how close we are to Maryland favorites like blue crabs and burger cookies

LyssaChap · September 2016

St. Louis, MO. I like living here because we have fabulous food options, and lots of stuff to 'do' and see. The burbs, where we live, have excellent school districts, some of the top in the country and our property values do really well. Its really the only place that feels like 'home' to us.

clickclackmoo · September 2016

I live in Washington, DC (no, not Virginia or Maryland). I love being able to walk everywhere and the free museums.

BluesGal10 · September 2016

Lafayette, Indiana. I love the color changes in fall, and the smaller town feel. Granted, it's also a college town, so I like it better when the students aren't here clogging up traffic.

shaunessa · September 2016

Central Texas! Hot, hot, hot! But I don't mind it. I've been here all my life and there's no where else I'd rather call home. Hook em!

LittleChick2 · September 2016

Near Seattle, WA. I love that we're surrounded by mountains and lakes, but close to the city too (not that we really go there though). I also love that you can typically drive over to the other side of the state and the weather will be completely different.

Fourpeat · September 2016

We're in the Chicago suburbs - about 20 minutes outside of the city. We love being so close to such a wonderful city and our town is great - wonderful schools, a great downtown area with restaurants and shopping, and it's where our families are.

holzie-2 · September 2016

I'm in Northern CT. I love the 4 seasons, especially fall when all of the leaves change colors. There's nothing quite like fall in New England!

twistsandturnsto2 · September 2016

Virgina Beach here. Being so close to the coast is nice, but we hardly ever actually go to the beach, haha.

bww_0331 · September 2016

Just north of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Love summertime up here and spending weekends at the cabin. Close enough to the cities to go out for entertainment but live in a small quiet town!

KirstinH88 · September 2016

Sacramento, CA. Although we are the capitol city, there isn't a ton of things to do in the city for tourists. But we are wedged right in between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe/Reno, so it's a nice middle ground for fun weekend getaways. Also, I see so many people commenting that they like having 4 seasons, but I'm glad that we don't. No snow here!

justdoit93 · September 2016

We live in the St. Louis, MO area! I like it because there's so many things to do around the area, although I'm ready to move away for a while. We were both born and raised here and I'd love a change.

pinkshades05 · September 2016

San Diego, CA. We have 2 Zoo's, Legoland, SeaWorld, Disneyland is just up the coast in Anaheim, beautiful beaches galore, traffic isn't as terrible as LA, but home prices really suck. Terribly inflated and new homes are $1mil+ so they cater to the high income families. We'll be here for a while, though, since my husband's industry is centered here.

rachelgreene-2 · September 2016

I'm also in San Diego, Ca. I was born and raised here. I second everything @pinkshades05 said about the good and the bad.

allybadry · September 2016

I'm from Alberta, Canada. I love how diverse the ecology in the province is. We've got everything from snow peaked mountains, the badlands and beautiful prairies. No matter what kind of activities you're into there is somewhere to do them.

Ooooo, Lake Tahoe!!!

Arizona. I hate it and can't wait to move.

Hey neighbor! Haha

NESeattlite · September 2016

I'm in Seattle (obviously). I love the beauty of the city with the water, mountains, and lush greenery, but I hate the weather 10 months of the year. Also don't like that it's so far from everything, anywhere is a multi-hour plane ride. But it is cheaper and easier living than SF and the bigger east coast cities! I also like the liberal attitudes, could never do the Bible Belt.

@Fourpeat we're in the Chicago burbs too! Love it!

scorpiomer · September 2016

@emox3232. Where about?! We live in York county!!

SJG812 · September 2016

Toronto, Ontario (Canada) here! Well actually a suburb nearby. I love being in a big city with lots to do but also being close to a slower lifestyle too. Traffic sucks and although I like winter, it could be a bit shorter!

CactusGirl · September 2016

Another from Arizona, here. I enjoy it. I've lived here my entire life, so maybe I haven't gotten to experience what other states are like.

HGRich · September 2016

Good to see there are a couple of other Missourians on here. I live on the opposite side though in Kansas City. But I have lived in central and south Missouri at different parts of my life too. I miss south MO actually and have had to adjust to KC. But I like KC because it's got a big heart. It's big city, but Midwestern style. I have however visited the east coast, northern and southern, the west coast, northern and southern, the north (Michigan and Minnesota) and Texas. And I have to say of all of them I'd love to live in Texas.

RaisingABuzz · September 2016

I'm in the Grand Rapids, MI area. I love Michigan because of the four seasons. I'm very excited because we are entering fall and its my favorite season. I also love living so close to Lake Michigan. We spend most of our summers in northern Michigan on the lake ❤️. So much fun to have the support of women from all corners of the world!

visualcircus · September 2016

I live near Houston Texas and the only good thing is that there are 2 major airports nearby to take a trip away from this place. Just kidding, we fell in love with the mountains while living in New Mexico and hope to move somewhere like that one day again, but Texas fits the bill for now... its cheap, affordable, many opportunities and friendly people.

STM2017 · September 2016

@Ekzerr, I'm in Manitoba, Canada as well!!! I love that we get snow in the winter. Although I don't like how long it lasts, I can't imagine having Christmas without snow!
