i live in washington state, by the border of idaho. I cross the border to work in idaho. Where I live is very blue collar, poor and redneck. I moved here from california and at first i was shocked by how non urban, non granola it was here. People here are more stoic and less touchy feely. There are tons of boarded up abandoned businesses and homes. Lots of meth in the area, lots of crime. Winters are cold and bleak, but spring and summer are beautiful.
^ YAY another Texan! *highfives* You are talking about miss Selena Gomez!!!! (o^^o)♪ I love that area of Texas, Corpus Christi-Houston on the beaches. Mustang Island is soooo beautiful and its my favorite place in TX because I know if I look off the coast to the southeast- my old house in Florida is directly across the water somewhere as it faced the water in the gulf northwest! I was there last Fall actually and we are definetly going back on a whim next time hubby and I get at least 3 days off on the same days! I camped on the beach and it was amazing! Houston is awesome- SO much to do there!
I'm originally from Wisconsin but I've lived in SW Florida for almost 10 years.I'm in a weird little area that divides the last signs of civilization and total wilderness. There's a main road leading to a Wal-Mart behind my house in one direction, but if you try to go the other way you'll just run into jungle-y marshland for miles. There's even a Venus Project compound in there somewhere Anyway, it's a small town that's really quiet and dead most of the year. During tourist season it bursts at the seams (it's still season right now) and the roads are awful. Just awful. There's a whole bunch of beaches to choose from. We like Manasota. It's a nice white sand beach with tidal pools. You can find an abundance of shark teeth and wild dolphins and manatees (and stingrays) are plentiful. Some people won't swim in the Gulf, but I do. I love it. It's really salty and feels good on my skin, plus I love all the fish and animals.Just like the rest of the town, during off-season, the beaches are mostly deserted, but when tourists are here it's hard finding a spot. There are people from all over. I've heard more languages and accents living here than I can count. You kinda get to recognize people... like Canadians They are always the sunburned ones Around my actual house is a ton of wildlife. I'm surrounded by water, with a lake across the street. So I see all kinds of things, which is awesome.Honestly, I don't get out much. Most people seem to flock to bars around here. Our mall is meh. Fairs and the like are too redneck themed for me. I think Sarasota has more the type of "scene" I'd be into. Of course, I'd have to be super rich first
Oh no no, not Selena Gomez (Gomez was born in Grand Prairie). I mean Selena Quintanilla-Pérez (Born in Lake Jackson) She was a very famous tejano singer in the 90's who met with an unfortunate fate. There's a very well known movie called "Selena" released in 1997 about her life and we watched it every year in Spanish class. She was very talented, I recommend giving it a watch (and listen to some of her songs)!Surfside is probably my favorite beach around here, I've never been to Chorpus Christi (at least I don't remember..). Oooh another fun fact, the big Houston Rodeo is about to start up. I live directly in front of the location the aforementioned "largest county fair" and just before the rodeo starts we get the trail riders here for a day or two as they continue to Houston to get to the rodeo. Horses on the highways if you can believe it! That's Texas for you. There's thirteen different cities where trail rides start! Do you have small cattle farms around where you are or are you more in the city? One road right off of my house has a pen with a few horses and another road a little ways down has a big longhorn ranch. They're scattered about but there's fields of cows, horses, and hay bales everywhere!
