Title: Your hometown: post a pic Post by: Trevor on October 27, 2015, 08:38:04 AM I was born here: Bulawayo in what was then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Look how wide the streets are: you can turn a truck around easily. :teddyr:
(https://www.newsday.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Zim-Bulawayo-streets.jpg) And I grew up here: Gweru, the former Gwelo.

Dubuque, Iowa Title: Re: Your hometown: post a pic Post by: dean on October 28, 2015, 07:24:42 PM My city, Melbourne Australia, has been voted by a few organisations as 'The Most Liveable City In The World' so its pretty awesome here. In terms of my area [its a big city] I live in a pretty nice neighborhood which has a ton of street art around.
The below is all walking distance from my house.

The chocolate festival near Asbury Park was fun. Silver Ball Museum was fun too!

There's so much history here. The Bell. The nation's first capital. First hospital, zoo, library, and stock exchange. Cheesesteaks. ROCKY.

First hospital, zoo, library, and stock exchange. Cheesesteaks. ROCKY. And one of my favourite films - Shooter with Mark Wahlberg - was partly filmed there. :thumbup: Title: Re: Your hometown: post a pic Post by: HappyGilmore on November 04, 2015, 08:09:38 AM Wahlberg's filmed several films in the area.
His family is opening a restaurant here. Title: Re: Your hometown: post a pic Post by: Bushma on November 05, 2015, 02:50:18 PM Sacramento, CA where I was born and raised. I live outside of Portland, OR now but Sacramento is still my home town and where my parents live.
