I live in the south western mountains of NC. My "town" has all of 2 stoplights. This is High Falls. You can see the covered bridge a little at the top. My town is down in there somewhere. This pretty much captures the whole town. Its a nice place to live except for the hoards of bicyclists gumming up the roads and the inebriated geriatrics looking at the leaves in the Fall. I can take the geriatrics more than the cyclists. When they bunch up in groups of 10 to 50 you can hang up passing them on the winding roads. And a lot of them now wear body cameras in case they get run off the road, attacked or well... run over. You're living my dream(well, that and the beach). How? Do you commute far every day to work?

I need to visit Newfoundland one day. St. John’s is quite a pretty looking city! Be sure to go in January.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Between Salcombe and Prawle, South Devon. That's UK, btw. I looked up the area on Googlemaps and it seems like there are many town names which end in "combe". I'm sure there's some fascinating historical reason for that.

You're living my dream(well, that and the beach). How? Do you commute far every day to work? I get the gut feeling that Chef is retired. I'm almost 52. My kids are 9, 12 and 14 years old. I have a little ways to go. I have a hard time with crowds so I try to live on the edge of "civilization". If my wife would let me I would live a place like Deliverance and I would be the one playing the banjo.
The road less traveled is filled with fewer needy people.

Hannover, Germany. Some call it the averagest of all German cities. No spectacular mountains, or coastline, the local river is small, the lake is artificial. Well connected, though - major hub for railways, with a nice little airport, major autobahns going N-S and E-W. Politics are boring, so is the weather. No earthquakes, tornados, or dangerous animals - the place simply works. It's also considered to be the epicenter for the correct, textbook spoken High German! The downside is, I can't speak regional dialects, locked in to "formal German" for all eternity.

Darn! I didn't know you could smoke Coors Light! Might taste better that way.

I lived in S. Miami for a year in 1966...then moved back to the "Space Coast". I was a displaced surf kid from "up the coast". I hung out at S. Beach pier, and Beach Bagels. Lots of future "international business connections" were made just sitting on a surfboard hoping a ship would go by dreaming of the occasional storm surf, or timing my arrival at Beach Bagels for the freshest egg bagels coming out of the oven! Yummmmm! Life changing experience for sure.
