QuoteHöchstadt is a town in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district, in Bavaria, Germany.

Food

Carp is a very important food, but only in the months with an "r" (September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April). There are various carp dishes: e.g., "blue carp", "baked carp" and "pepper carp". Carp eaten there is termed Aischgründer Karpfen".

Culture

There is an events centre (converted from a former shoe factory) that includes a music school and a library; there is an evening event most days.

Beaverton, Oregon, USA.
Just west of Portland, it's the 6th largest city in the state.  I live just past Hwy 217, about a couple miles from the Portland/Beaverton border.  Fairly big Hispanic population (though not nearly as much as west of me in Hillsboro).  Plenty to do in town (malls, theaters, restaurants of all kinds).  Cops here are a**holes and prowl my street looking for someone to irritate.  Beaverton is probably most famous for its Nike World Headquarters.

I grew up in Paramus, New Jersey -- home of the hair metal band Trixter and lots 'n' lots of shopping malls.

Since 1999 I've lived in West Milford, New Jersey, about 40 minutes north of my former home town. It's right on the border with Upstate New York and is much more rural. Supposedly Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees lived here for a brief period in his youth, and other famous residents include Tom "Dukes of Hazzard" Wopat and Jeremy Glick, who died on United Flight 93 on 9/11.

I grew up and currently live in a remote small fishing village in Northeastern Newfoundland named Herring Neck. I myself made a living in the fishery for the last 12 years but I'm now out of a job and there doesn't seem to be many to be found so I'm likely soon going to have to go back to school and eventually move away. Not many pictures online but I did find these...

Oh there's still a fishing industry but it's not what it used to be. One cannot make as good a living at it nowadays as in the past. When my uncle passed away, I lost my position as a crew member on a fishing vessel and there don't seem to be any others available so I'm looking into returning to school because despite a university degree (granted that was 16 years ago), I cannot even seem to get a job interview in these parts...

Middletown, Delaware.  Fairly small town in a small state, but after living quite a few different places over the years Katie and I wanted to settle here.  We're less than two hours from the beach at Cape Henlopen state park, less than an hour from White Clay Creek park (which extends into PA, within about two hours each of New York City and Washington, DC.  Also, Assateague Island Park, which is beautiful and famous for the wild ponies, is about three hours from us.

We spend a lot of time at the state and national parks in the area.

Right down the road from us is a huge series of horse farms that are along country roads lined with sycamores and fields.  It's very nice here.  I hope we don't end up dealing with urban sprawl as the years go on.

Do you know the name of the store? I'll drop your name next time I'm in and ask for a discount.

it's at 1850 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy. I dn't know how often she's there. We've lost touch a little bit. I think she will charge you double if you mention me. She has big clunky glasses. art school

I live in Vrhnika, Slovenia.

Vrhnika is a town and a municipality in Slovenia. It is situated on the Ljubljanica River, 21 km from Ljubljana (the capital of Slovenia).
In Roman times, the settlement on the location of today's Vrhnika was known as Nauportus when it was considered as important communication point.
Vrhnika as exists today started to develop in the High Middle Ages. The first written reference was by German name Ober Laibach or Ober Laybach (literally "Upper Ljubljana") in the year 1300.

My city.  I don't live right in the middle of it all, but close enough to the building on top which is a super impressive building built in 1880 [older than our country!]

Voted last year as the most liveable city in the world, so we must be doing ok.

Whitney,Texas....a small resort town in the central part of the state. In the summer we have many visitors here for our beautiful lake:

(http://www.texasfishingonline.net/Lake%20Whitney%20Texas.jpg)

And in the winter we get bunches of "snowbirds" from the northern states like Minnesota and Michigan who stay here to avoid the cold at home. It's a pretty small place,pop. around 2000,and we only recently got a McDonalds which really caused a stir. :teddyr:
There's a number of Army corps of engineer parks around the lake and our State Park:

In fact the lake is our biggest attraction. Otherwise we're just a sleepy little Texas town.

How has the lake survived the drought?  Whenever it rains here in NJ for at least a year I always think of TX... and have often wished they'd had gotten the rain instead of us.  Lately, we were heading towards drought, but we've had a lot of rain in the last few weeks.

Last year we almost didn't.....the lake was almost 15 feet below normal,the safe swimming areas were gone and fishing was lousy. The town barely survived and I still wonder how we did. Luckily over the winter we had a lot of rain and so it's up to normal and beautiful again. Business was past depressing....the convenience store I work at is close to the lake so our business dried up right along with the lake. If it wasn't such a deep one the whole thing might have disappeared. That's a hazard of being in a resort town....we really depend on tourism for our summer profits.

that looks awesome

Wow, all these places look so cool.  :thumbup:

Know for its historical beauty, its many lovely parks and squares, Paula Deen, and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

The park bench scenes from FORREST GUMP were filmed here, as was the upcoming Asylum Picture's release ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS THE ZOMBIES (not to be likely confused with ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER). The 70's killer worms classic SQUIRM was filmed just outside of town in Port Wentworth; as I've mentioned before the drug store where the Yankee found a worm in his egg cream unfortunately is gone with the wind.  :bluesad:

Best of all: it's "officially" America's Most Haunted City (http://www.americasmosthauntedcity.com/), has several creepy cemeteries (http://www.bonaventurecemeterytours.com/), and is one of Linda Blair's Scariest Places on Earth.

I visited New Orleans back during my college days....sure wish I could have stayed longer. So much to see and do,great food  but the Louis Armstrong Museum was closed....rats! I'd have loved to go there. Our first night there we searched around and found a restaurant that was mostly full of locals...man! What a meal! :wink:

Always wanted to visit Vegas, personally. But, it's a rather expensive trip, I don't gamble, and likely wouldn't have the cash for shows. Rather worthless.

But, Atlantic City is a short drive away, so a casino trip or seeing a show is easier. Wildwood, too.
