I love Savannah because it is the only city I have lived in since I came to the states. I have visited many other cities but Savannah has everything, Close to the beach, beautiful historical district, River Street when you can find the best food, nightlife, in short Savannah has all anyone could want.

I live in Mississippi. The cost of living is pretty good here too. I live in an area that is rich in Civil War history if someone is interested in that. It doesn't interest me much at all but I know there are a lot of people that are. Elvis's birthplace is about 45 miles away. There are casinos in North, south, and mid Mississippi if you enjoy that. What I find interesting is the Delta area, rich in blues history.
You'll find some good fried catfish all over the state. The gulf coast is beautiful but I haven't been there since Katrina hit. I know it destroyed a lot of the old beautiful buildings including Beauvoir (Jefferson Davis' home).
There is the Indian Reservation down in Philadelphia, MS.
You'll find a lot of old Antebellum homes all over the state. William Faulkner's home is in Oxford.

I live in Bridgewater, Mass. I think it is really cool that I can go to the beach and the mountains and still be in the same state...lol The cost of living is kind of high here but I enjoy the state. There is alot of history here. This is a link for The History of Massachusetts it's very interesting. http://www.usgennet.org/f...

I lived in Texas for 10 years, 5 west Texas and 5 east Texas, I have 2 Texans in my family, my 2 middle children. But I love Michigan, spring and summer in Michigan is like God took every single shade of green and dumped em all on Michigan. If you like water this is the place to be, streams, rivers, lakes, lakes and more lakes and if you get tired of lakes there are the Great Lakes.

I have a whole section devoted to sites in Michigan on my web site http://www.byfaithonly.com/Michigan/

Didn't think of this, picture is from my home town. Cascades Falls. Story behind them is very romantic. The Sparks were a very wealthy family in town, she was very sick and couldn't leave her bed. He had these falls built so she could see them from her bed. When she died he donated the falls and surrounding park to the city for everyone to enjoy. There are stairs and benches along each side of the falls and the electrical system changes colors and fountians in time to music.

I love West Virginia. I have lived here all my life. The people are just the nicest people you will ever meet. West Virginia is known for its green hills.
If you like to hike, there is the Mongengalia National Forest or any of the State Parks.

If fishing is your thing, just park your truck by any river and sit back and relax with that fishing pole.

There are lots of fairs and festivals all over the state in summer.

White water rafting is a great activity here as well as skiing resorts.

How about camping at the Holly River State Park it is a beautifl wooded park with hiking, swimming and other activiities available.

We must not forget the Cass Scenic Railroad. You can get a glimpse of the past while riding on the train.

Are you intersted in coal mining. There is a coal mine that you can go in and see what is like underground

While we are on the subject of underground, how about all the caverns that are underground. Can you belive that beauty. Seneca Caverns is my favorite and Senaca rock is nearby for that hike.

I love Colorado! Never been to Texas and heard that it's one big flatland place, LOL. No harm intended here ;-) I grew up in Colorado and love hiking and climbing in the mountains that are close by. There are tons of places to see and visit like the Garden of the Gods (which is my favorite), the Air Force Academy, and the Cliff Dwellings and too many more to mention here. It's an awesome state and if you have never been here I would recommend visiting the western half of Colorado. The motto here is: if you don't like the weather wait ten minutes and it will change, LOL. For the most part that is true.


myLot reputation of 95/100. perrytx (1888)  5 years ago

We took a vaction to Colorado a few years ago and loved it. Went on the Durango train and saw Garden of the Gods. My family still teases me for being afraid of the mountain heights, especially driving on the mountains! I am used to the flatness of Texas, thank you! lol

I live in Indiana. The northern part, where I live, has lot of lakes for swimming and fishing. I love the change of seasons, how everything turns green in the spring, and red and gold in the fall. I love the how the snow glistens at night in the winter, while it's still fresh and hasn't been trampled and driven upon. Our seasons are usually moderate, not as hot or as cold as it can get in other parts of the country. Southern Indiana, where my dad's family lives, has hills and beautiful scenery. I always loved visiting my grandparents down there, they had a little farm that sat on a hill, and you could look across the valley to see another little farm. It was like a picture postcard!

My sister just moved to Warsaw, Ind. Is that close to you? They just had a blizzard! Thanks for all your info!


myLot reputation of 93/100. mjgarcia (619)  5 years ago

Warsaw was close to where I lived. Its a nice area.

I live in Fort Worth Texas and I enjoy it. The winters are mild compared to what I was used to. There is always something to do if you look. I even like to go downtown and just walk around.

I lived the first half of my life in upper Indiana. And I like that area also. I only moved here because the rest of my family did. Since then, they've all moved back. I stayed because my husband says "no way". He doesn't like the snow in the winter. What I like in Indiana is that its a slower paced living. People aren't in a hurry like they are here. Also the area that we lived in had a lot of Amish and Mennonite influence - so the culture was interesting.
