There was a thread like this a long time ago... I don't know if there is another around here somewhere. If so then we have another, if not it should be cool to see some places again. Basically the point is to show us where you're from.

Here's some pics of a little place called Muskegon, Michigan.

There's a million places like that around here... I just like that pic for some reason.

Hume House (http://img405.imageshack.us/my.php?image=humehousevw3.jpg)

Once upon a time Muskegon was one of the main logging ports on the Great Lakes. For a brief period in the 1890's we had the highest percentage of millionaires per capita than any city in the country. We have a bunch of their old houses around town.

Have to get around on all the sand dunes somehow...

Lake Harbor in the winter, from almost the exact same spot. This is maybe my favorite pic ever.

Snow. Eww.

It was cold as hell. And dangerous. I wish I could find one of the pier that day...

Good ol' Oswego, NY.

Here's a pic from that snowstorm last February. (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/02/09/nyregion/storm600.jpg)

Look closely at the graffiti under this bridge... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/AndreOmega/SUNP0021.jpg)

Here's my car on Day 2 of that snowstorm. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/AndreOmega/buriedcar.jpg)

And a few miles away, we have the bluffs in Sterling--host to a really cool Renaissance Fair(e) as well.

Watch your step near these things... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/AndreOmega/628484-R1-04-21_005.jpg)

Not as good as Thoracis' sunset, but Lake Ontario has some pretty amazing ones as well. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/AndreOmega/628484-R1-00-25_001.jpg)

It takes a true gangster to graffiti Mario, that's for sure.

I also think that we can conclude that the Great Lakes' coasts own either ocean coast.

Undoubtedly. If I had my picture CD's at my campus, I'd upload some pics of my hometown or my college, but alas, I don't have them.

The most badass club in OKC, until they closed it down. Fuck. At least we Okie punkers still have the Conservatory.

And this is how most of Oklahoma looks like. Wheat and corn fields and oil rigs.

As an Alaskan and the viewer of far better sunsets than those you have posted, I highly object to his statement. And I shall post up my own pics just as soon as I get them off my camera.

oh and snow... is awesome.

We in Florida have evolved beyond the need for snow. :cool:

No. Snow is FTL. Especially if there's three feet of that ish blocking your way to work and you have to walk a total of two miles to buy a shovel to dig yourself out.

Jacksonville, Florida = no snow

Would you like some cheese with your whine, Elijah? :P

Seriously, why didn't you already have a shovel? Do you have any idea how jealous i was of you guys when you got all that lovely snow and we barely had anything? Snow can be troublesome true, but it's also LOADS of fun if you'll actually get out and play in it.

Instead of snow we have incredible heat mixed with ungodly humidity. In Florida, in the summer, every day is a bad hair day. -_-

That and we have more lightening strikes hit the ground in Florida than anywhere else in the world. Maybe the second most. Not sure.

On the plus side, we have the oldest city in America.......and the Fountain of Youth.......and Disney World.....Universal.....Heck, Tom Petty, Less Than Jake, and Against Me are all from my home town. We rock. End o' storeh.

yeah, but I have gloriously, majestic mountains all around me.
it never gets unbearably hot
we have sunshine nearly 24-7 in summer (it's not quite 24 hours in anchorage *shrug*)
we also have the beautiful, northern lights

i do miss thunderstorms though... living in a geographical bowl kinda makes it hard to get a decent thunderstorm with cool lightning. *sad*

Aww man. I have always wanted to see the northern lights. :(
