    We love Provincetown and go there a couple of times a year, usually in the spring and again during Women's Week in October. So, we would want to be somewhere near there.

    I love P-Town, my SO has never been so it's on the list of "places to go". I've spent many a day at Race Point Beach and hiking the dunes there.

    I have to say I want to be right where I am. Right-sized town (100,000), beautiful hills and lake, 4 distinct seasons with snow in the winter and hot, dry summers (super important to me). Safe place to live and raise children. And of course, all the bonuses that come with living in Canada (free health care, freedom to be yourself, yadda yadda). I would like to build my dream home on my dream property someday, but I hope it'll be right here in Kelowna.

    I like where I live right now for sentimental reasons. It's my old family farm--settled by my ancesters in the 1820's(I grew up here as well). It has a certain charm to it and I can walk to the river w/o a license and fish all I want b/c the game warden wouldn't fool w/ coming up the tangle of river to find me-good catfish too. There are several places I want to go of course- Italy, Norway, Maine, Alaska etc. There's a pretty little town in Oregon that was Peoria I think, where they filmed the movie Kindergarten cop, that's a charming little place on the west coast. I could live there. But I'm like many of you, be able to ride my bike everywhere and only use the car for long trips or hauling big things. The good thing is I can have a garden as big as I want where I'm at. Love fresh veggies in summer.

    Nope, that was Astoria, Oregon and my nephew was a movie extra, i guess scenes were filmed at his elementary school. TEEHEE!
    Astoria is a nice place, but it's very very depressed, no jobs.

    Is Astoria where the theatre festival is? If so I liked it a lot, rails to trails bike trail I think goes all the way up to Eugene, small farms and produce, close to mountains and ocean and there's a good Aikido dojo there. I could tell that it was a problem that jobs were seasonal.

    I would like to bike the Blue Ridge Mountains too.

    Trek - this is where I live now - at the foot of the Blue Ridge - and I'll have to say it's my second favorite place to live. The only drawback is the miserable humidity in the summer...

    No, Trek, that's Ashland, a lot further south.

    Thanks Mimi I knew it was (oria) something That's cool that your nephew got be an xtra. They do a lot of films in GA too. There's a little town not far from me called Senoia Ga and they have a movie scout/ production place there. Really neat. I visited several of the places where they filmed Fried Green Tomatoes in the early 90's. Jennifer

    Lisa, your Cape is darling! And that gorgeous maple in the front yard! I can see why you're happy right where you are. It's very cheerful.

    Yes, Asheville is gorgeous. Much more scenic than the central (Piedmont) part of NC where I live -- but a lot more serious hills too!

    P-town is on my list of places to see. I haven't been to the East Coast since I was a pup. There's a Women's Week here in the Russian River area Guernville CA each year.

    I've never been, such a party animal ... not.

    I love that area of Sonoma County, Redwoods, near the coast, lots of artists ... but another thing that happens yearly are floods. Seems people buying houses on the river never learn
