OT - Where You Live

Here is our city's namesake, The Sioux Falls

In the summer it is lit up with different colors and the story of the city is told every evening at dusk. In the winter they light up EVERY tree in the park and the falls for the Winter Wonderland. Which I can't for the LIFE of me find a picture of :evil:

South Dakota sunset:

Not far from Sioux Falls is Palisades Park in Garretson SD, also home to Devil's Gulch where Jesse James and his gang jumped to escape authories:

Downtown Calgary where I work. I am lucky enough to have a west-facing office, priceless view of the mountains.

Night view and Calgary Saddledome -home of our beloved Flames (ok not so beloved right now :lol:

)

Calgary's backyard:

Morraine Lake

Johnston Falls (lots of mountain melt off here)

Banff Natural Hot Springs (great for the skin)

Sissy Spacek is on the View right now and they said something about you moving to a farm in VA to raise her kids and driving a pick-up truck instead of a Mercedes. The way they said it made it sound like she had really made a sacrifice for her family. :roll:

She lives in one of the most upschale areas on Smith Mt Lake.

You ever get someone pull this shit... someone says they're from Chicago and you go:

Me: Oh yeah? Me too. What part?
Other Person: Oakbrook.
Me: Um, that's not Chicago. You're from Oakbrook.

(that happened while I was living in another state... I nearly smacked the guy)

Or the reverse... someone asks you that...

Other person: Oh you're from Chicago? What part?
Me: Northwest side.
Other person: OH! You mean you're actually from Chicago?
Me: Isn't that what you just asked me?

(and that one used to happen constantly)

Aww thanks! I love it here too, but I don't know....I have relatives that just moved from Australia to New Zealand and I'm just dieing to get over there for a visit. (Airfare there from Canada is a fortune though :shock:

) Andrew's the lucky one, Australia and New Zealand from the pictures I've been sent are stunningly gorgeous!

You'll have to come for a visit sometime Liz. We'll go for a Hot Springs.

That is some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. Canada seems to be a country with no shortage of beautiful cities. Vancouver is spectacular, also.

Chattanooga, Tennessee....

The Chattanooga Choo Choo

Rock City overlooking downtown...you really can see 7 states from up there.

View from one of the mountains. Rich in Civil War history around here.

No!!!!!!!! The only ones I could find were from Founder's Day

I don't think anyone on this board wants to see a bunch of barefoot drunks watching a country music concert :roll:

I work down there & the traffic is slower than a herd of turtles at both rush hours :evil:

Yep! Big difference! They have 4 theme parks. Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Studios, and Animal Kingdom. They also have a whole downtown area with shopping, restaurants, clubs, and they have 2 or 3 water parks.
