The town I moved to 14 years ago is pretty nice, it’s very picturesque and charming. It has a 12th century castle right in town. A river flowing through the town. It even has a Waitrose supermarket which for that to happen its got to be an affluent area. My house is over 200 years old, its a old coach house.
Before I lived in a small village on the edge of Sherwood Forest which again was a nice village, I loved my childhood there, we could walk anywhere we wanted as children around the village and have no problems, we used to play out all the time especially in the 6 weeks school holidays.
I’ve never lived in a city and I don’t think I would like it, I’ve always been close to the countryside, my current town is a rural town and its a 20 miunte walk to the nearest large forest.
I live in a university town with a uni that dates back to 1425. Next year they’ll celebrate their 600th birthday. There are about 55,000 uni students and 100,000 other inhabitants.
It’s one of the most expensive cities of Belgium and a bit elitist. It’s my hometown and I did my initial uni studies here.
I live in Midtown Omaha, Nebraska, USA in what is known as the old Aksarben horsetrack neighborhood. The horsetrack is long gone. Now the area is a thriving University, sports stadium, shopping center neighborhood with lots of residential options.
I live in the second largest city in Alaska…which means it’s still more rural than urban. You can drive from one end of town to the other in 10 minutes. But we have a Wal-Mart and a Costco, so that gives us delusions of grandeur.
Western Canada, the prairies. Few trees, flat, surrounded by ranches and farms. Big open skies. We’re a young part of the country so a hundred year old building is amazing to us.
I’ve visited Sherwood forest and Nottingham castle. I was surprised at how small the castle was and thought that the Robin hood story got blown way out of proportion.
