Where would you live?

[RachelR]

If you had your pick, where would you live and why?

[RachelR]

I chose bungalow by the ocean. I saw the ocean once in 1998 when we wentto Chincoteague Island and I fell in love with it. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to go back since but I may plan a vacation there next summer.

Oh really, eh?

I chose a loft in the city.

[RachelR]

Hey CiaJ, how far away is the ocean from DC? Perhaps I can combine my two favorite places.

It's about 2 and a half hours, if you go the speed limit. Just run 50 right out. It also depends on the time of year you go ... when it's getting warm and everyone heading down to Ocean City, just the wait to get past the toll at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge'll take ya' 2.5 hours!

I want to live out in the country far enough to enjoy the land, but close enough to go to the city if I need to get a shopping fix.

[RachelR]

When we went to Virginia, I had to drive across that thing and I've never been so scared in my entire life! They were doing construction and I was sandwiched in the outer lane between a large semi and a concrete wall. I think my steering wheel still has my hand impressions from gripping it so tightly.

I hear ya Piper.. I forgot to put the country option in and I cannot edit it now. I'd like to have a lot of land.. room enough for some horses at least.

A cabin in the mountains for me!!!

Next Spring, hopefully, I break ground for a cabin(weekend retreat/retirement getaway) on my property in NW Alabama. I want an 1800-2000 sq. ft. cabin made from squared rock maple logs, w/loft bedroom(s), basement and huge stone fireplace. I'm planning on restocking my 300+ acres with quail and get back into the traditional Southern sport of quail hunting.

Eat your hearts out, 'city boys'!

I also chose a bungalow by the beach. The ocean is so serene. It's my sanctuary.

Okay, Shooter. I'll be happy to have my "urban terrain" close enough to a few college campuses ... wowie! Look at all those hot freshman ...

Oh, has anyone else noticed the trend to have writing on girls' asses? I noticed it last semester ... they were athletic shorts that say "TOWSON" right on the rear ... I mean, that IS where I'm looking anyway ... it's just kind of odd

I just flew back to Vancouver Island yesterday from Ottawa and I can honestly say that I do NOT want to leave...

The view flying in was awesome !!! The many islands, the mountains, the lakes and overall landscape !!!

Then, just before landing, I could see a pod of Killer Whales... That made my day !!!

Having said all that though, I still would like to live where I have FRIENDS because without friends, you can have a lot of wonderful things and no one to enjoy them with !!!

I would love to live on the bay but still have a couple hundred acres around me. The best of both worlds, you have the bay to fish and water ski on and you have all the land to go hunting and shooting on.

I chose ranch in the suburbs.

I lived in a cabin in the mountains for a year and I found it awful. Next department store was down the hill, took me 30 minutes on a narrow winding road to get there. Supermarket was 20 minutes away. And...there's absolutely nothing to do.
I like to be close to stores, hospitals, doctors, schools etc.

All of those places sound OK for a vacation but as a permanent home I would choose the suburbs in a house with a SMALL yard. I'm not really a nature person. I love to drive through the mountains or along the ocean but don't like mudslides, ocean waves on the kitchen floor, etc. I want to live on flat ground and enjoy nature when I'm in the mood.

I agree with you there! Everything you could ever want in a place to live...big city, mountains, rural area, ocean, beatiful weather.

I'd love to move there and work for HPD if they paid better and were more open to out of state applicants.
