I love this line in Williamsburg and it made me think where does every one live and it would be fun to read a little brief description of weather or not your city was the blue print for hell.

I live in Burien Washington just south and bordering Seattle, in fact just a a house down the street is the city line. I am about ten minuets from down town and I love it here. The city sky line is amazing, we have cold wet winters and nice hot summers so everything stays lush and green. I live five minutes away from lakes and mountains, half an hour away from the ocean and only one minute from Puget Sound. On any given day if I so chose I could walk a rain forest or explore a desert, I could hike a glacier or fish for large steal head, go swimming in a lake or the ocean.

I really do feel blessed to be living in such a diverse part of the US, and that's not all, Seattle has amazing fine dinning and all the big and little acts roll through here, we also have SIFF and Bumbershoot and the new festival that is pretty awesome most years Sasquatch.

So Burien or I guess I would say Washington but I like to called it "The PN Dub" "PNW" The Pacific North West is not the blue print for hell but the blue print for a beautiful safe haven.

I've wanted go to Sasquatch so many times. No fair.

Ok, I saw this, was debating posting something. But as I've got a day full of nothing...I will.
Although, I don't live in such a great place as Burien Washington. I can say I live in a relatively great place.
I was born, and raised, in Havertown, Pa. Its a what used to be small town just outside of Philadelphia. I'm about ten minutes from Center City, and I have public transit stops right next to my house that go directly into the city. Its got the small town feeling. Everyone knows everyone, and all of that stuff. But its grown a whole lot since I was a kid. I'm honestly not sure what good there is of this place. We're known for the Swell Bubblegum factory..which was closed I think in 2003...maybe a bit later. But its been this abandoned factory sitting around since I could remember. Only plus to living near a bubble gum factory. Is I remember was I was little, we'd walk by going somewhere, and in the air you could smell the flavor they were making that day. I hated the grape days... Haha
Summers are humid, and winters are random. I don't really agree with the weather, as I feel its changed so much, but then again. Pollution is a bitch. Its a nice area though, we're close to so much. I can say I live in Philadelphia as i spend so much time there, but I don't have to deal with the city life all the time. Its an extremely Irish town too...which sucks. As I'm no where near Irish, lol. What cracks me up is we have pubs here that claim you can only order in Gaelic.

I do want to leave, and I will be. Within the next 6months to a year I'll be moving to North Jersey. Haven't fully locked down an exact area, but I'm in the process of that.

However, I do wish I lived somewhere a bit cooler, and more of a winter. I'm such a winter person, that these summer months I feel like living in a freezer.
