I love that any type of food you could desire is available within walking distance.

I love our rainbow crosswalk downtown.

The climate is liveable. You can tell the change of the seasons. You need a jacket on Spring and Fall mornings. Extreme weather is not the norm and when it happens it is short lived. Except this Summer which was our 4th hottest on record.

A blessing to be sure!!

I live 11 miles east of Asheville. There's ALWAYS something cheap or free to do any day of the week. Its a food and beer town. College town
Very community oriented. I'm an hour or so away from a national park (Smokies) 2 national forests (Pisgah and Nantahala) and 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. (Which is also technically a National Park)
I can find bluegrass nearly any night of the week and we have drum circle every Friday in good weather. Random people come to play music together in a park and people from all walks of life listen and dance.

If you've never been here you need to visit at LEAST once. I'm completely in love

I have lived in several different cities of Florida. Each city has its own unique quality as to why I love it. I grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida; lived in Ocala, Florida, which is horse country and visited Bradenton, Florida. I currently live about five minutes away from the beach in New Smyrna and I love the sun rises here. If you are friends with me on Facebook, you can see the various nature/sun pictures that I have taken.

Just glancing through this month's issue of Forbes Magazine I see that Asheville is one of the top places they rated to retire in.
The Seattle Times too often runs articles about Asheville and I always picture it a delightful place to visit.

Consider yourself openly invited to visit!! We could so do a vacation swap too. I'd love to visit your neck of the woods

Lyte · 11-04-2016, 12:55 PM

Just watched 7 deer come off my creek, cross the dirt road and slowly make their way along the tree line and back into the woods. Yeah, that's what I love about my neighborhood

Lyte · 11-09-2016, 02:10 PM

I miss living near some kind of wilderness. Now I'm in suburbia and the closest thing I get in a opossum in my attic. Not a good thing! I love watching videos where the deer come up to someone's back door looking for food, attention or to play the owner's dog or cat. So cute!

That Houston is a huge diverse melting pot.

That I can find excellent Pho or a Ramen noodle bar not too far from my house.

A. Spectre · 11-04-2016, 07:31 AM

Numerous interesting items about Chicago I like and love. Since I spend around 50% or a bit more time in Chicago a month, I have slowly learned what makes this city such a world class place to visit, work.

First, the 'noises', the hustle and bustle of the people on the sidewalk, the honking of the Uber, Lyft and cabbies hurriedly making their way to their destinations with their fares. Oh the smells, the thousands of restaurants offering up any dish from anywhere within walking distance.

The architecture, if you take a water vessel through the canals you can see the back side of the old buildings with the original stone, marble and steel. So ornate compared to the false fronts that many buildings have.

The fireworks the city offers at no charge every Wednesday and Saturday nights off of the Navy Pier.

The arts, museums, theater, amazing street entertainment

I like living in the mountains as I love nature and all it has to offer...

Lyte · 11-22-2016, 10:03 PM

OMG... Sonora!? That is a beautiful area in CA. And still close enough to civilization should the mood strike.

I appreciate being able to hear the ocean from my house. I enjoy the amazing sunrises on my drive to work. Being able to, weather permitting, go on a run through my neighborhood dodging elk and coyotes on my way to the beach. Depending on my mood my run may become a walk and the roar of the ocean may serve to dampen the sound of my tears or hide the questions I lift up.
