Your Hometown

[precious007]

Yep, I know where Skøyen is. That ice skating ring you talk about is Frogner Stadion. We used to go there with my school when I was in elementary school. Next to that you have Frognerbadet, wich is an aqualand. (do you say that?). If anyone's wondering why everything starts with "Frogner", it's because the area's called Frogner.

Yep, it's called Frogner...

That's the one Frogner Aqua park.... Used to take my bike.... Skoyen is really close to Vigelands Park and went swimming there :-)

Really awesome....

I also miss the Town Hall area and the center with Oslo city and all the shops and stuff... I was a kid back then but I pretty much miss those years :P

Here's the town I was born in 1984 :P

Piatra Neamt is a small city in the mountains, Moldavia Area of Romania.

Please watch below...

and this is Constanta - by the black sea ... the resort part of this city turns into a crazyness during the summer.... starting from girls to fun and alcohol and crazy clubs you have everything you need... :-)

Here's a start. I'll be adding more later. I don't have a lot of patience for writing :^D

I grew up in Benson, which has been a non-town forever. My mailing address is Fallston, and it's a non-town also. It used to be agricultural, but is now just bland suburbs. Fallston is a higher income area, and the cornfield subdivisions are littered with McMansions, and starter castles. The main strip through “town” is overloaded with car dealers, and the worst one near me has so many klieg lights, I can read inside my house during a snow storm due to reflected light. There's so much light pollution in the area, I can only see a few major constellations, even on a good night.


The local “big town” is Bel Air. It used to be a rural influenced town, and is the county seat. Years ago, in the big local grocery store, you could still buy guns, traps, and outdoor clothes. Now it's like every other grocery in existence. Just the same bland same old, same old. The town is now full of consumerist crap. Anything of interest has been torn down, and a piece of crap put in it's place. Really, that's typical of America in general. Our “culture” is McDonalds and WalMart because we've torn everything valuable down, and replaced it with those 2 things. You're welcome world :^S It does have one claim to fame, and that is it was the home town of the Booth family, of John Wilkes Booth fame. The assassin of Abraham Lincoln. They were some of the greatest actors of the time, and possibly any time

Tudor Hall - Home of the Booth family

I live in Pelham, Alabama, a suburb of around 20,000 population about 25 miles south of Birmingham. We have a nice public tennis facility, otherwise, we are about the same as all other suburbs. It is a nice place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit here.

Sorry for the bad netiquett lxskllr, but these will have to be hotlinks. I consider both Seattle and Portland my hometowns, although more Seattle as I live here now and I've spent more years living here than anywhere else. Seattle occupies a relatively small strip of land between massive Lake Washington and the Puget Sound. Lakes and waterways surround us, as do two mountain ranges; the Olympic and Cascade mountains. There is an abundance of evergreen trees and bald eagles, which makes for a pleasant and rugged urban environment. We are known for rain, fresh seafood, grunge music, salmon, totem poles, the Space Needle, Mt. Rainier, maritime endeavors, outdoor pursuits, logging, fur trapping, pioneers, orcas, and more rain. Our annual rainfall in volume hardly registers when compared to other major cities, however from November to June it constantly drizzles but rarely pours, and as such, locals have long-since abandoned umbrellas in favor of hooded jackets. I have lots of Seattle pride and I never want to live outside of the great Pacific Northwest as long as I live in America.

Love cities that are located between mountains or in mountain areas

We have quite a lot of them in Romania as well ;-)

Thanks lxskllr.

I could throw a rock from my front yard and pretty much hit the house that Eli Whitney grew up in. It's not my hometown, but I live there now.

Finally, our beach-

I love that beach! Or, I love the view of it. I'm among the 0.5% of Norway's population that doesn't like to be on a beach.

I'm not a fan of lounging on the beach, but I love playing in the ocean. Also, the smell of salt air and creosoted wood is one of my favorite scents, bar none.
