What do you like about your home town?
If the answer is nothing. Please explain.
I like the fact that I can call it home! I know my city inside-out. I will have to write a blog about Toronto soon, it's a fabulous city. We are not perfect but we manage.
My hometown was a little on the smaller side. I liked it because everyone really did know everything about everyone else. I liked that we were so tight-knit and you could go into the store and see any five people you knew on any given day.
Although i live in Bern, Switzerland, i still consider my hometown where i grow up and live with my parents, brothers and sisters, where i went to school (Elementary and Highschool). My hometown is a little town in Agusan Province, Philippines.
I like my hometown because it is located in a beautiful nature of green environment and a natural beach with grey/black fine sand with refreshing sea water.
The people are friendly, polite and hospitable. We have good neighbors, giving and taking is practiced like giving or sharing food specialities. Helping one another etc.
I love nature, and i could find it all in my hometown, the sea, mountains, rice plantations so with banana, mais, mangos and many others.
It is Christianity that unite the people in my hometown. Every Sunday, people are going to mass and after the mass, everyone greets one another. A pleasant atmosphere.
The beauty of the grapevines each year mixed with the mustard and the friendliness of the community. The wonderful food and lovely wines!
Great sense of community, good schools, easy commute to everything. Would retire here.
The people in it. I wish I could say more but that is it for my hometown.

How do you leave home?I've lately contemplated leaving the city- the county- heck, even the state. I've lived the entirety of my life in a large city on the West Coast. For a long time I found solace in my hometown but the last years have just been very corrosive to our bond. It feels like I'm...
