    I live in Alton in Hampshire =/.. it is frankly crap. Our town is full of old people and old peoples homes but also full of teens.. There are literally 5 old people homes, 4 churches, 6 chippies, 10 kebab chops, 10000 oxfams and every bank under the sun. What is the point in having every bank when there is nothing to buy?

    I live in Danville, Virginia, about twenty minutes from the border of North Carolina. My town is rather boring. I live on the outskirts of it, though, so I go to a county school, of which there are four. I live in the biggest county in Virginia. My town revolves basically around the textile mill, where my father is a manager. Everyone in this town has at least one person in their family who works there.

    I think the city (if you can call it that) was founded in the 1800s, maybe the late 1700s. A river splits in half. During the Civil War, my town was the last capital of the Confederacy.

    There is nothing to do here. The only places to go are the mall, which sucks, and the Super Wal-Mart. To do any decent shopping, you have to travel at least an hour in either direction.

    But, to tell the truth, I like living where I live. I wouldn't want to live in a big city, and I think this town is kind of laid back. All in all, it's a nice place. I live in the country, and it's nice and quiet, and somewhat secluded.

    I live in Pittsfield Massachusettes (US). Up here in the summer we love to play soccer, almost everyone of us. In the fall we just hang around out side in the beautiful weather. In the winter some of us swim on our team, and we ski, snowboard & snowblade. In the spring we have a lot of homework so.. we do that.. but its great up here. The moutains up here are awesome, exspecially in the fall.
    [​IMG] Thats what a lot of Pittsfield looks like on the weekend of my brithday, the 1st weekend of October. [​IMG]Thats Jiminy Peak. Thats where we ski. Pittsfield was one of the most populated towns in MA a few years ago. But now that GE & General Dynamics lay-off people, the population has recently declined. I love it up here.. or down here whatever you consider it. Its truely a place to visit. Most of the time we Pittsfieldians complain about it because its lame to us, but its truely spectacular.

    I live in a little town called Saint-Émile, a 12 000 people city less than 15 mins away (in car) from the bigger city of Québec (600 000).

    We are the 7th youngest city in Canada in proportion of less than 18/more than 18 so it's pretty cool, lots of people to hang with, lots of facilities for us, I like it :D . And we've got pretty much anything we need less than 5 mins away in car...

    Though I don't live there anymore, my hohetown is Prague. If you want to know more about it, go watch some Linkin Park videos. :D

    The town where I live now is all f*cked up and I hate it.

    I live in a suburb east of St. Paul, Minnesota. It's the upscale suburb, but I live on the wrong side of the interstate, commonly known as the "ghetto". Not even close. Suburbia, USA, population 50,000.

    Hmmm...interesting stuff about my town. There's nothing to do here. We have an ice-cream store (I work there!), a few coffee shops, and a crap movie theater. The high school is awful.

    That pretty much sums it up.

    I would win prize for most strange place to live, couse probably you have no idea where it is :)

    Anyway, I live in Bratislava, the capital of the Slovak Republic. The first record of the town of "Bratislava" is from 907. In the 10th century, the Bratislava Castle became the King's residence and the border of newly established Hungarian Empire. After 1536 Bratislava became the seat of the Imperial Council and the site for coronations for next 300 years. 11 kings and 8 queens were crowned in St Martin's Cathedral.
    When Worls War II ended, Bratislava underwent political, economic, and social boom. New blocks were built, industry way modernized, and a school system was developed.
    Today Bratislava, the youngest capital in Europe, flanking both sides of Danube is the biggest town in Slovakia with 500 000 inhabitants (small country = small capital) and the seat of Slovakias political, social, and cultural authorities. Here is e.g. The National Theatre, Slovak National Museum, Slovak National Gallery etc. University education is also an old tradition in Bratislava.
    Lots of stores, malls, restaurants, theatres, cinemas... The biggest megastores are Aupark, Polus City Center and Avion Shopping Park.
    I live on right side of Danube river in part of Bratislava, called Petrzalka. Its character isn't very good but I live in qiet area with lots of trees and parks.
    My spare time I use to spend in Aupark (mostly in its cinemas) and pubs or just walks through downtown.

    Most of the teen "hangouts" in my town are the "Imo's Lot", of course the football field, and the car wash where all the street racers hang out to show off their cars. The Imo's Lot is basically a minimall next to the high school where all the teenagers hangout. Every once in awhile I go over to the computer LAN center over there and spend a night there gaming. There's a lot of parties and such that happen around here but I never go to them.

    i live in perth australia.
    i live in the suburbs, about 20 mins away from the city centre, there not really much to do here. i mostly go to the movies at the shops (mall), or go hang around in the city. perth is a boring place to live cause were on the opposite side of the country to all the other capital cities, so most of the time when musicians tour the country they dont come here. and all the good stuff happens in the eastern states.

    oh theres also a theme park like down the road but its pretty small and has crap rides. (there not really that bad but ive been tons so theyre just boring now.) and they keep raising there prices so its not worth going any more. my highschool is about 5 mins away by car. the primary (elementary) school is down the road.

    thats really all thats to say about where i live.
