    Jackie here from Northern Louisiana- a world way different from our southern Louisiana cajuns. North Louisiana is  known as the Sportsman's paradise. I live  4 miles out from a little country town where the the people are are in no way wealthy. There is no keepin' up with the Jones..cuz they don't live around here!

    In my town,we are a friendly lot, known for constant handwaving to complete strangers as we pass on country roads(it would be rude not to...)We are the typical y'all come southerners and a rare few of us add ing to the end of our verbs! (ie: we say talkin' not talking......)If we get to needing a little culture, we are centrally located to be about 2 hours from operas, museums, and all that other fancy stuff.

    The valley of Virginia.  The Appalachian Mountains on one side and the Blue Ridge on the other.  Beautiful country, mountains everywhere I look.  Pain during a snowy winter tho.  lol

      I crewed a DDG out of Norfolk, VA., for a year and a half.

      I wouldn't expect you folks would get much snow though.

    I live in Dudley in England.  The current manager of Premier League team Blackburn Rovers, Sam Allardyce used to play football on a green just 5 minutes from my house when he was a nipper.  Also, Duncan Edwards who died as a result of the Munich Air disaster in 1958 is from here as well.  He played for Manchester United and England.

    I live in a very small place called Bettystown in Ireland, not too far from Dublin, Ireland.

    Last week there was horse racing on the beach in our town, it is apparantly the only place in the world where horses still race on the beach.

    I am from Honolulu, Hawaii.

    I love Hawaii because it's beautiful and the people here are great. Well... most of them are. Our island is most definitely becoming diversified, so hopefully the "Aloha" Will carry on through the new comers. So we can all live "Aloha." Haha =-)

    I live in Front Royal, Virginia where the "Skyline Drive Begins", where the north and south fork of the Shenandoah River converge and where a Union general hung a couple of Mosby's men and one innocent farm boy.
