A Meme Of Its Own

[ithildin]

Earlier in the week, I created a bit of a meme, one of those 'ask me anything' ones. And some people on my f'list snagged it for their LJs, where I asked the same question. holde_maid and calime33 were like virtual tour guides in their responses!

The question: Tell me something about where you live. What you like best, something I might not know, bits of trivia. Whatever you like.

I love to travel, and I love learning about my friends, and about new places. so this is a lovely combo!

Howdy, neighbor! I live on that isthmus! And I can see the Capitol Building out my window. Great place to live --except in the winter. (Transplanted Southerner here.)

I live on the near east side (by the Avenue Bar) and if it weren't for that tree they planted across the street a few years ago, I'd have a Capitol view as well. :::grrr::: Still, in the winter I can still see it a little.

I *love* the winter and fled California to return to the midwest because I missed the seasons so much. The only thing I hate is this hot humid stuff we've been getting this past month. Bleh!

I'm on the near west side, just off campus by Meriter Park.

My parents were born and raised here. Mom went to East High and when they dated, they often went to the Avenue Bar. They left in '58, Mom and I came back in '93 (the year they seperated) so she could be close by her folks. They're all gone now so when I finish my degree, I'll be moving on. It's a lovely city but there's nothing to keep me here now.
