Name the top three things that you love about the city or town that you live in. And maybe even flash us a photo of it. I live just outside of Palm Spings, California 1. The weather is nice 2. My "town" is 2 blocks wide and 5 or 6 blocks long, so it is fairly quiet and laid back. 3. The Vortex of natural energy and magic which exists in this specific area. It's not the only one but this one is mine! (the new agers will get the reference)

I live in the country side of a town in Puerto Rico. The three things that I love about living here is the following: 1. Being able to plant just about anything on my property and see it blooming. I have mangos, avocadoes, breadfruits, startfruit, bananas, plantains, green bananas, eggplant, tomatoes etc. You get the idea. 2. Being able to make a plate of food from the harvest of my backyard 3. The beautiful warm weather year round. I could go on but you asked for only three!

Sounds sumptuous, beautiful, and rewarding. I garden too, but I live in a desert, which has a nasty tendancy to kill anything green and broad leafed. There is something to be said for organic home grown vegetables that have never seen the nside of a fridge!

I know what you mean. I lived in New Mexico for three years and could not get anything to grow. It was so disappointing. That is one of the reasons I moved away from there.

I live about 17 miles from Spokane, Wa and the same from Spokane Valley. There is a lot to do in the area. 1. I live up on the mountain it is awesome and beautiful here and 5 miles from skiing. We have lots of wildlife and great for snowmobiling, 4 wheeling and horseback riding. The weather right now is not to hot or cold. There are museums and lots of parks, Couer de Alene is not far and there is Silverood theme park and there is Manato gardens and we are only a couple hour drive from many other attractions.

You failed to mention what city or town you're repping. It's all good though those are good solid reasons.

Adelaide, South Australia. 1. Consistently lowest cost of living mainland capital versus level/availability of services. 2. Low population (about a million's not bad for a state capital). 3. We're famous for being "the 20 minute city". You can get from any one part of the city to any other part in under 20 minutes any time of day! Here's a link for you with photos & other links, depending on what interests you: http://www.southaustralia.com/regions/adelaide-city.aspx Yours sounds great, by the way, & I'd really appreciate living on a vortex of natural energy & magic!

Tuomey Health Care System - This is the main hospital that is in the town that I live in. It has been remodeled about five years ago.
Hi, sharone74. I have been living in this town for 33 years of my life. It has became kind of boring to me because I have lived here for so long. Yet, I can still think of three top things that I love about the town that I live in. I love the fact that the library is in walking distance from the Health Department, Police Station, Family Court, Piggly Wiggly, Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy. We have some restaurants that are nearby such as, Substation Subs, Tony Pizza, McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and KFC. This is all in walking distance in the area near each other. My second top liking is, the walking track that I can walk on whenever I want to get my exercise on. My third top liking is the beautiful sunshine that magnifies every morning when I wake up.

I will be visiting your state next year, so I might just have to check this vortex out for myself! I live on the outskirts of the city of the Gold Coast in the south east corner of Queensland, Australia. Our city is a coastal strip surrounded by mountains to the west on the inland side. There are numerous things do do here which is why it is a major tourist destination. The three things that I love the most are: (in no particular order) * The fantastic beaches. We have loads of choices when it comes to beautiful beaches, both calm water and surf. We also have freshwater lakes to enjoy in the hills too. * The mountains. We have world heritage listed rainforests within easy reach of the city (20 minutes from my house) that are loaded with incredible features such as amazing views and large waterfalls. * The weather/climate. It is warm temperate/sub tropical here so we have beach weather pretty much year round for those who come from the colder climates. It only frosts in the hills and we get plenty of rainfall so we can grow lots of different fruits and vegetables here. You can check out the Gold Coast here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Coast,_Queensland http://www.visitgoldcoast.com/

I live on a country dirt road in Elmer, Pa. The town is located in Potter County but our mailing address is from a town in Tioga County six miles away. 1. Country living on a beautiful hillside which is part of the Alleghany Mountain range. 2. It's a quiet place to live with fresh air and mountain spring water from out tap. 3. Wildlife share our views of majestic scenery which includes hills, trees, and winding trout stream.
