You may have heard of our suburbs Dallas, and Fort Worth.
If you are ever in Texas, avoid Dallas as Ft.Worth has a better Zoo and a better downtown.

| | Posted: | | | | Born, raised and still living in Ann Arbor MI. USA You might've heard about it, we have a college called University of Michigan and their football team plays in this huge place called Michigan Stadium (aka "the big house"). If the camera angle is just right during a broadcast you can see my house, although I won't point out which one in case any ex-girlfriend's or ex GF's boyfriends are reading this.  There's a smaller arena next to that where the basketball team plays, but they've been pretty bad for a long time now. Even the games they won way back in the late 80's / early 90's don't count anymore cuz the players couldn't resist the free beer and whatnot. I'm still waiting for Chris Weber to go to jail, but he probably won't. Just glad he's not on my Pistons this year.  The pros of living in a college town - when school's out, you can drive and park freely. When school is in, you better just walk or take your bike.  | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

Only recently moved from Southampton.
Now I live 10 miles from the nearest town, have gas in a big tank in the back garden and a 'poo-tank' rather than mains sewerage....nothing like trading down!!
Still - it's very open here and a nice change from inner-city life! |

I live in Smyrna, Delaware, USA
I have very close friends in Delaware, been staying with them in Georgetown, Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and Seaford. WOW! What a small world! All those towns are south of me, but still dueable in a day as Delaware is a whopping 35 mi (56 km) E-W at its widest; its maximum N-S extension is 96 mi (154 km).
