Just curious to see where everyone lives.
I'm in Oklahoma City, land of mighty tornadoes, and recently, numerous earthquakes. |

Northeast Ohio, right outside of Cleveland and on Lake Erie.

I'm on my couch right now.
As for where I live, it's a little town called Trafford (population 3,200), which is about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA; we're just over the county line, so we aren't technically a suburb.

I am in the Miami Valley area of Ohio, just off I70 about halfway between Dayton and Columbus.

I'm on the upper east side of Manhattan, 84th Street and 3rd Ave. About 2 miles from the Baxter Building and 1 mile from Avengers Mansion

In the middle of Alabama -- Montgomery, to be precise.

No no no. Don't you know the rule about Pennsylvania? No matter where you live, you are either "just outside of Pittsburgh" or "just outside of Philly." I can't tell you the number of people who have told me this and, upon further questioning, revealed they live two hours from Pittsburgh. |

In Chicago. A few blocks from Wrigley Field. Wouldn't watch the Cubs right now if you paid me to.

Huntsville, Alabama. That's in the northern middle part of the state, about 40 miles from the Tennessee state line, two hours south of Nashville.

Pennsylvania is simply the native word for 7 1/2 hours of driving through hills and trees from eastern border to western border. Anything resembling a city there is a mirage. So are gas stations when running low on fuel on I84 or the turnpike. I swear the road signs there place an infinity symbol between the words next exit and miles just to taunt travelers... -M (made the Ohio to Connecticut or vice versa drive far too many times in my life...) |

Yes, because the drive between Pittsburgh and Columbus, then Columbus to Dayton is anything more than unending flatness and boredom.
Speaking of, I'll be making that trip in two weeks and will be stopping by at least a couple of the comic book shops you recommended to me.

Ah, but the challenge of the drive between Columbus and Dayton is finding out which area will be torn up and down to one lane because of construction and if they managed to layout the Jersey barriers correctly or will they be jutting into the lanes causing a need to swerve to avoid a collision from time to time. It's freeway slalom. The other part of the game there is figuring out how many and where the speed traps are...you can be assured there will be at least 2-3 in Madison County alone, and they will pull you over even if you are within 5 mph of the speed limit there, especially if you have out of state plates figuring you will pay rather than show up for the court date to challenge it. But good luck on the comic shop itinerary. Let me know how it goes. -M |
