Hmmm. Ill go
Well I live in a suburban town south of Pittsburgh called Peters Township. Its mostly made up of rich families whowanted a nice place to send their kids to school. Every street is always freshly paved, the buildings are clean and neat and the people always look their best. The area isnt too overpopulated so there is alot of scenery by the way of trees, fields, streams, ect. It really is a beautiful place to live. The worst we really have to deal with crime wise is drugs, but thats about it. About 25% of the people here fall into the category of upper class. You know the millionaires who never have to worry about money. Another 60% fall into the upper middle class. They arent millionaires, but they have a good bit of money to throw around. The last 15% fall into the mid-low middle class. Thats where I stand on the financial latter. Most of the people here are nice to get to know, but alot of them are stuck up snobs. They carry around the mentality that they are better than everyone else and if you dont have a big house, expensive car and designer clothes, you arent a good person.

Unfortunately the parents rubb off on their kids and thats pretty much how the kids are in peters. Some are nice to hang out with but alot of them are stuck up snobs. You really get to start hating peters township the more you have to deal with the people. Working at giant eagle did it for me. Ever since then I cant wait to leave peters.

Well now that you know more about the kind of people who live here, lets get into what its like to actually live here.

There isnt alot to do in peters township. There is a mall/movie theaterabout 10 miles away. There is a rec center with basketball courts and such and there is a pool at the highschool.

When you are younger, peters township is a real nice place to grow up. All your friends are close by and you can go and spend time at each others houses during the day, sleep over at night, and have a good time. You can go to the park and play baseball or ride bikes, or hang out on the trail.

When you start getting older and start dating, there are a few nice places to hang out, the novel date places. Movies, mall, dinner ect. but then you have to start getting creative because like I said, there really isnt a whole lot of places to go around here. It works out fine though because you can always hang out at your/their house to fill in the space.

When you turn 16 and get your liscence its alot easier to date and hang out with your friends. You can go to different places and have alot more fun then just staying in peters township. Your girlfriend usually becomes friends with your friends and you end up all hanging out together. Its the same with her friends too.

Once the novelty of having your liscence wears off, and you start not wanting to spend money on gas, you and your friends go out occasionally but usually just stay in peters at different peoples houses. You spend time trying to find out whose house is empty so you can hang out there. Thats where drinking becomes a problem. Peters township has its drug problems, but underage drinking is a HUGE problem in Peters. Pretty much everyone drinks at some point and alot of people take it too far and get in trouble. Even people you would never guess, drink and do drugs. Its something that one day is going to need addressed or its going to start getting out of hand.

I couldnt tell you what its like being an adult in peters township because I have never been an adult anywhere. I will never know either because I plan on moving out of peters and never coming back.

My recommendation if you want to live in a place like peters township is this: Move to any area just outside the suburbs. You have most of the same ammenities, but you dont have to deal with the people.

Well, I thought it would be nice to share what its like to live where I live. I know it was a long post but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless.

SURFING
Three miles of Atlantic beach offer some of the best surfing on the east coast of Florida. One of the most consistent surf breaks in Florida is Sebastian Inlet’s 1st peak, located next to the north jetty. Another hot surf spot is Monster Hole, when the surf is big. Monster Hole is located about 1/3 mile off the beach, on the south side of Sebastian Inlet. The contour of the ocean floor rises up and when the surf is big, the waves form long lines, giving a long ride. This is my[/align][align=center]my best `space, my heaven...It is `free 2 : )

You just described the place I grew up to a "T."
A small, snobbish town who thinks they're all better then everyone else.

There were rich families that brought back a lot of culture to the town from their travels over seas. Only a couple familes have ties to the area when it was founded. And they have money as well. One family owned most of this part of this county at one time. A lot of things used to be named after them. But not so much now.

Since my family is from Virginia I never really had that close of a tie to the area. I felt it was a "We're better then you" small town. Another town close by has had a rivalry with this one for many years.

We used to brag when I was in HS that more drugs came throughthis town then in any other part of the state. Some distinction!!!

Would I live some place else? I can't say? I know living further away from town wouldn't hurt my feelings any. It would be nice to own 10 - 20 acers. Maybe rent most of it out to make a little income off of. To own any property like that there would be a classic auto sale near me. Like in my yard.

But it's still a dream of mine.
(owning the land. not selling the cars)

I guess it is my turn. It was interesting and fun reading your posts so far. A little about me. I am 30 years old and just bought my first house. It is a 1975 double wide trailer on 3 acres. I have two room mates. My 15 month old Golden Retriever max and 3 year old minature horse Kit Kat. Kit Kat waswon at our school carnival last spring. I live in what I consider one of the most beautiful states. The town I live in consists of 10,000 people mostly ranching and working in the mills. The area I am in is part of the high desert. lots of Juniper trees. 20 miles away are large ponderpsa pines. I am trying to share some of the area features in my car pics. The reason I love this state is 4 hours to the west of me is the longest public coast line (at least was last time I looked). 4 hours east is rolling grass hills and wide open spaces. Check out the link to my myspace page for lots of pictures of Oregon my property and projects.

I have lived in Oregon, Montana, Arizona and Las Vegas Nevada. I used to work for cell phone companies until I went back to school and got my teaching degree. I now teach 800 kindergarten through 5th graders how to use computers at two elementary schools. I enjoy watching them tackle and solve complex problems. I am a laid back fun loving guy who is loving his monte carlo more and more each day I drive it. If you have any questions about me or the places I have lived fire away. Thanks for reading.

Nice blog post Todd. I would love to own some land. Now days people around here are convinced an empty lot, or one acre is worth $60,000. Money I can not afford. Cause then you have to put a house on it or around another 200k plus to live on the land.

Sure I know these prices are small compared to living in Florida, California, or Texas. Or some other states.

And if you work beside Bill Gates $300k plus is nothing to spend.

I'll just keep dreaming my dream and hope someday it comes a reality for me.
