[ohiosmith]

1. Columbus, Ohio

[Dukkha]

79. me too

proud resident of the Buckeye state capital

[ZenLefty]

2. Schenectady

Schenectady is an ancient town (by US standards) in upstate New York. It derives from a Dutch word that means "jobless armpit of the world". Historic, beautiful, and dirt fucking poor. It's a great place to be from.

[Lavender Brown]

3. I'm from there!

:hi:

[ZenLefty]

105. Hello, fellow Schenectadian

:hi:

[Cheswick2.0]

108. I'm from Rotterdam Jct

Or I should say I used to be from there.

[ornotna]

110. Almost Schenectady

Guilderland. Well, 30 years ago anyways :hi:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

82. Aw, give it up for Schenectady...

I'm from Lake George / Glens Falls.

I think we all have stories up here in upstate NY.

[ZenLefty]

106. Here's a funny story about Schenectady

Back in the 70's, there was grafitti on the State Street bridge that proclaimed SUSAN IS A PINHEAD. It was there for years, until the Schenectady 2000 Committee complained loud enough and forced city hall to save up enough money to paint over it.

Shortly thereafter, someone opened up a bar called Pinhead Susan's.

[NashVegas]

86. "jobless armpit of the world"

I thought that was Watervliet?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

94. Warrensburg is..

The place where we keep all the inbred folk (alright no offense to any burgers, but... it's partially true ;) )

[NashVegas]

100. Hey Hey Hey

My great great grandpappy died in Warrensburg. And Allenville is where the inbreds are, don't go misleading people.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

103. my bad!

Argyle has more cows than people.

[ZenLefty]

104. No, that's the jobless *crotch*

So I'm told. ;-)

[azrak]

14. Hometown=

The town where you first got drunk, stoned and laid.

:thumbsup:

[baldguy]

23. Buffalo, NY

[legin]

24. We like things a bit grim in britain

This was the best building in my home town by miles which they knocked down, except for the towers, and replaced with an Ikea warehouse, the philistines.

Don't remember the railway being there.

http://www.transport-of-delight.com/UK/BritishRail/Wimbledon-WestCroydon/Pages/PowerStation-2.htm

[Screaming Lord Byron]

27. Croydon! Home of Sarah Jane Smith from Doctor Who.

Yes, I am a sad fanboy.

[legin]

28. Classic quote from a famous super model

"I'm so glad i lost my virginity to a hunky guy while on holiday in the Bahamas, as opposed to some spotty git from Croydon."

:evilgrin:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

29. LOL. Ooh. David Lean's from Croydon.

Y'know, Lawrence of Arabia and so on.

26. Philadephia, PA

http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=philadelphia/v=2/SID=w/l=IVS/*-

[RebelOne]

32. I was born there, but it's been so long

that I forgot what it looks like.

[Beaverhausen]

41. Visiting my hometown in the beginning of October

Philadelphia is a really underrated city I think.

Thanks for the beautiful pic!

[phillybri]

52. Philly is truly underrated....

I love it, and miss it...:-(

[CO Liberal]

47. My Father Was Born There in 1920

In the Lithuanian section of South Philly. His family moved to a farm near Vineland, NJ in the Late '20s.

[Mandate My Ass]

51. Here's Rocky's view from the steps of the Art Museum

[GOPisEvil]

53. Rocky's not there anymore.

He was moved.

Just a helpful hint for those that go to the Art Museum expecting to see Rocky.

[Mandate My Ass]

54. You have to go to South Philly to see his...

statue.

The Art Museum, for some odd reason, thought it should not become part of its collection.

Statues, and their attributes, seem to be the topic of the day today. :o

[Beaverhausen]

59. The Phila. Art Museum and the Barnes Foundation- two Philly treasures

Ooh- can't wait!

[KamaAina]

33. Go ahead. Defy me. But remember, I'm in Honolulu.

Queen City of the Pacific, that is (mostly for lack of competition :-) )



http://members.surfbest.net/[e-mail]/media/Honolulu_Shoreline.jpg

[Screaming Lord Byron]

35. Queen City? Sounds a bit gay to me.

:evilgrin:

[KamaAina]

38. A *bit* gay?

We've got gay-friendly resorts, karaoke bars on every corner, and of course, Hula's Bar and Lei Stand, which I helped close down one night, with a female friend who is, shall we say, a bit of a diva.

More than "a bit" gay, I'd say. Not that there's anything wrong with that! :-)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

39. Cool, sounds like a great town.

[GOPisEvil]

37. The Royal Hawaiian!

Isn't that Fort DeRussy in the foreground?

I remember going to brunch at the Royal Hawaiian as a kid. :D

[HEyHEY]

58. Nah, you may have nicer weather

But Vancouver has a mystic beauty about it

thbhthtbhtbhbthbtb! ;-)

[PittPoliSci]

36. Pittsburgh Skyline...from Left field of PNC Park

The quality is kinda bad because I used my phone for the picture, but I think it's pretty!

[JVS]

128. Nice, but give them the money shot.

You know, the one for mt washington looking down the point

[Samurai_Writer]

40. Fort Pierce, FL

50 miles north of West Palm Beach.

[bloodyjack]

45. Behold NORTON MASSACHUSETTS

this looks EXACTLY like the thing it looks like

This is not Wheaton College

[CO Liberal]

46. Some Pictures Of Where I Grew Up - Morristown, NJ

This is the Church of the Assumption. I made my First Communion and confirmation there, and served as an altar boy. My first wedding took place in this church, and my children were baptised here. And my parents had their funerals in this church.


Source: http://www.morristown-nj.org/


This is the Morris County Courthouse. I received both my divorces in this building. The Karen Ann Quinlan case was also heard in this building.


Source: http://www.morristown-nj.org/


This is Morristown Memorial Hospital. My children were born here, and my parents and my first wife died here.


Source: http://careers.hodes.com/


This is the Ford Mansion (aka "Washington's Headquarters"), now part of the Morristown National Historic Park. General George Washington used this house as his headquarters during two winters in the American Revolution, while his troops lived in Jockey Hollow, a few miles south of town. One of those winters was more severe than the one at Valley Forge, but Valley Forge got more publicity.

And this is the Morristown Green, a park in the center of town. I spent many an hour here during my high school years hanging out with the other hippies....

48. Here's what we are famous for from Marysville Pennsylvania

THat's the world's long stone arch bridge: The Rockville Bridge which connects rail from Harrisburg to Marysville. It's in the World Record Book

[SarahB]

49. Random things in my town

(which is near Hartford, CT)

Town Hall


Main St.


Historical Home


A local Bed and Breakfast


A local hiking trail (not me by the way, it's off the web)


Small river near the trail


A house once part of the underground railroad

[southpaw]

50. Piedmont, Alabama

The old Train Station (Now the Piedmont History Museum):


Typical neighborhood scene:


Dugger Mountain:


Bent Creek Bluegrass performing at the foot of Dugger Mtn.:

[Baja Margie]

60. Let's see if I can do this

San Diego, born and raised:






But, now we live here:





Well, I'm stoked, this is working, I finally figured it out! Outasight !


.




Thank you to Swamp_Rat & mahayasmellbad for all the help, wow, I'm on a roll now....






Thanks again you guys,


Margie xxxooo

[Commendatori]

55. Geneseo, New York

http://www.geneseony.org/lake/LakeIndex.html

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

87. I visited SUNY Geneseo and hated it.

I didn't like the school but there was something else bothering me.. Now I know why. It's a mini Lake George, that's creepy.

[Commendatori]

120. I didn't get to pick the area of my upbringing, but I liked it.

Judging an area by its school doesn't work anyway. How many people from the school do you think actually live there?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

121. Wasn't judging the area by the school

I was judging the school by it's area...

;)

[JohnKleeb]

57. here we are

Herndon Town Hall


HHS

[Rhiannon12866]

112. Nice pix, John! And not much different from Lake George

until the snow hits!:scared:

[LWolf]

61. I don't really have one.

I lived all over the place.

Here's where I spent most of my first seven years:





Here's where I spent much of the rest of the time until I graduated from high school:




Here's where I've lived since 1980:

[Rhiannon12866]

113. Those are lovely pix

Except I am confused by the airplanes. Are you a pilot or in the service?:shrug:

[LWolf]

118. I live across the street from Plant 42,

where the aerospace industry reigns, and about 20 miles from Edwards Airforce Base. The pic is from the Blackbird Airpark, which I can see from my house (in the winter when the leaves are off the trees).

[Rhiannon12866]

129. Thanks. Those are really cool pix

It must be a pretty interesting place to live, though I hope it's not noisy. Thanks for sharing them.:-)

[St. Jarvitude]

62. Arlington Heights, Illinois - home of the 85th Division (Training Support)

Not in my hometown (but close), the school I go to:



And last, but not least, Arlington Park Racecourse - home of the Arlington Million:

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

63. Oh ok but it's nothing exciting

and for some reason, this came up when I typed in the name of my suburb:



Go figure.

[Xithras]

64. Valley Home California

That picture was taken in the 1940's, but believe it or not the only real change is the addition of pavement to the roads. If anything, this town has shrank since the photo was taken (that's changing of course, with developers planning lots of new subdivisions there with dreams of Bay Area $$'s in their eyes). This town is so small it doesn't even have a fire department anymore.

BTW, I've always taken hometown to mean the place you grew up. I haven't actually lived in Valley Home for 15 or so years, and have no plans on going back.

[NMDemDist2]

65. where I live now

Phoenix Arizona

[ChaoticSilly]

69. Memphis

Complete with pics of the bridge & pyramid

[CanuckAmok]

66. Home for now:

[Fleshdancer]

68. Party time in Austin, TX:

Lance Armstrong parade


I LOVE Austinites:


On edit:
I almost forgot the neccessary skyline pic:

[ChoralScholar]

70. Atkins, Arkansas

Home of Atkins Pickles (well.. not anymore)

[Guy Fawkes]

71. Home sweet home...

I kid you not, this is what it looks like:

(ok, so I live in R'lyeh....)

[WoodrowFan]

72. Dayton

[Magrittes Pipe]

73. That's a surprisingly beautiful picture.

Dayton doesn't look half as pretty from the highway.

Or downtown.

[MrSandman]

74. During the flood...

[EstimatedProphet]

76. Columbus GA-NOT my hometown, just where I live now

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

81. Oh sweetie you LIVE there?

I am so sorry. I was forced to live there for three long years in the mid-90s. Our daughter was born on Ft. Benning. I taught at Columbus High. What brings you there? I see no Chattahootchee River in that shot!

We lived in Phenix City the last year we were there.

[EstimatedProphet]

127. Closest "big" place to where I work

which is at a facility out in real rural Georgia.

[Generic Other]

80. Tacoma, Washington

The end of the road...

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

83. Lake George, NY

Actually, I just go to school here. But in my mailing address town there isn't really anything, just a bunch of malls and stores. ;)

I have some of my own pics, but am too lazy to upload them now.

[JohnKleeb]

85. Jeez I didnt know your area was so beautiful

[NashVegas]

89. It's God's Country, JohnKleeb

It just happens that there's no good employment in heaven.

[JohnKleeb]

90. I feel like a city kid and I get derided sometimes as the hillbilly

heh its because I am southern.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

92. Tell me about it.

I'm getting out of here poste haste, one more year of HS

[JohnKleeb]

97. Yeah I know youre getting out

Heh, hope you go to GWU so maybe you can let me prove to you that its the south not the north who is civilized though youre already right about soda instead of pop.

[NashVegas]

98. I Did

Once I graduated from Bay Road Tech :)

This one's from Hovey Park Pond off of Quaker road.

[NashVegas]

88. Look *just* Below

we were practically neighbors.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

91. Why does that look so familiar?

WHERE IS THAT?! PM me if you don't want to say aloud, i think i know but it's driving me nuts.

i know we're neighbors because that's a place on the hudson i recognize

[NashVegas]

93. The Falls

By the GF/SGF bridge.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

96. of course! i feel stupid now

:) Howdy neighbor! I actually live in Queensbury :)

[NashVegas]

99. I Went to HS In Queensbury

Great education, but if you weren't a jock, you were doing keggers out in the woods.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

102. And if you were a jock...

You still were.

I know some QBY kids, but the problem I run into around LG and Queensbury is that everyone owns a restaurant or has doctor/lawyer parents. I don't and that creates so many social problems. I like LG better than QBY because there's less kids to deal with.

[NashVegas]

84. About 1,000 Feet

from that stretch of the Hudson is where I was born.

[enigmatic]

101. Here's a couple:

Edmonton, Alberta, my home currently:



And when I lived in Phoenix for many years, these were my spritual hometowns because they were both so freaking cool:

Jerome, AZ:



Bisbee, AZ:

[LDS Jock]

107. Some places I've called home

Salt Lake City



the Ozarks of Arkansas

[tarkus]

109. Providence, RI

Some great sites from a great town.

Even the mall is beautiful:


During Waterfire:


Skyline:

[Rhiannon12866]

111. Wow! It is lovely!

I now share my hometown with LeftPeopleFinishFirst, God's country. But here's where I grew up and my heart remains there. Saratoga Springs, NY, Health, History, Horses.:shrug:

http://www.saratoga.org/

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

122. I love Saratoga!

I took classes at Skidmore this summer, and was really sad when they ended :(

[Rhiannon12866]

130. I also took a class at Skidmore

to make up for one that I didn't finish. It was Art History/Architecture, the perfect place to study that. I grew up in Saratoga, but now am your neighbor.:-)

[andino]

114. I am from

Huntsville Alabama





NASA is BIG there as well as Space Camp.




I live in Norman Oklahoma right now. My wife and I are planning to move in the next year when she is done with her pediatric residency.

125. Hometown

Various pics of Bakersfield, CA








This is the coolest theater. I used to go see Disney movies here as the kid. Thank god they didn't tear it down and renevated it for concerts and film festables.




The Padre Hotel. There was (maybe still there) a cool piano bar there that was a gay hang out.

[Dastard Stepchild]

126. Milwaukee - birthplace of sjbech

The city may not be the most lovely, but one cannot beat the people of Milwaukee. They are the epitome of a geekish, square hipness that makes them wonderful.
Beer, cheese, and the best German genes this side of Berlin.... what's not to love?



A genuine Milwaukee-an. Not me, though.
