All my family at there and there’s a beautiful big park with a huge lake in the centre just down from our street in the estate where I grew up and spent many happy days.
You mean other than the fact it is home? The fond childhood memories or the fact my parents are still there? Probably the blending of city and country. I miss the trees and the easy access to lakes and rivers. Aww, see now, you've gone and made me all nostalgic and homesick! 😋
@SW-User if I could, I'd love to really live in a very remote area of Ireland. Here is good, but how I love the real Irish country side. It's breathtaking!
I moved from 2.4 million plus Austin and surrounding area in Texas to a small town of 28,000 in the North Dakota oil region. I absolutely love it. Not much to do up here but I'm not very far from Devils Tower, Black hills, badlands, yellowstone, and glacier park.
I don’t much like it now, but growing up, it was lovely and peaceful, felt like a community, and had a huge county fair every year around my birthday so I’d celebrate on the midway, preferably very fast or upside down. 🙃🙂
The scenery was nice. Lived close to a hiking trail with a cave with a little waterfall in it, that was cool. Too bad people ruin the place and keep me from wanting to go back.

I don’t have one. I was born in one, I grew up in one, I studied in one and I lived in three more and I love them all!
Compton California? Wherever I travel even though many places are much nicer I have not met people that really had my back like they did in my own hood
It was once a place well-known to be where artists, progressives and "free-thinkers" gathered, something like a Mecca for those feeling oppressed by small town thought both nationally and internationally.
@SW-User In individual neighborhoods, yes. But people looking for real estate and "techies" have converged on the city this century and driven many of the “regular" folks out. 🥺

@bijouxbroussard what a shame, I would have loved to experience the old San Fran 🌺
