What fantastic pictures everyone! I am really enjoying this thread!!!


I live in Southeastern Massachusetts. I love where I live because I am about one hour to Boston, one hour to Cape Cod, 20 minutes to Newport, RI, and about 10 minutes to Providence, RI. It is a fairly centralized location.

Here is an aerial shot of my town:






The center of my town has some old historical buildings that include the Town Hall, Library and private homes




There is also a small dam in the center of town:



We get some lovely fall foliage:



Although there are some large beaches in the area, my town does have a small town beach




One side of my property borders a golf course. My house is on the other side of the trees you can see in the distance

I live close to Fall River, Massachusetts

Here is the Battleship Cove Area:




It is also the home of the Lizzie Borden House - you know - "Lizzie Borden took an axe...." The home is now a fairly popular bed and breakfast.



I live 10 minutes away from Providence, Rhode Island.





Providence is the home of the Providence College and Brown University



I live about 5 minutes from Bristol, Rhode Island which is the home of the nation's oldest fourth of July Parade. Although the most popular mansions are in Newport, Bristol has a few:



Bristol also has Colt State Park which is on the water. There are biking and walking trails here. I often go there to walk:



And that was the quick tour of my area!

This is the skyline from my neighborhood...this was taken at the Lakefront path and Fullerton Pkwy


Lake Michigan, from the park


We really do have trees in the city!


Another shot in the park


Clark St. at Diversey...this is one of my favorite places to shop and see movies


This is the cross-street from where I live...LP is known for beautiful houses


The skyline from the path at North Ave..I took this on a jog one day


Kind of a messed up pic of downtown from the Chicago Ave brown line El platform


The McCormick Row houses...so pretty!!

Howard, if you can get to Talladega in a half an hour, you are flying low!

Great photos everyone!!! I really need to do some travelling!

I've collected a few photos of Bristol, TN. Enjoy!!

Here is a photo of beautiful South Holston Lake




This is a sign located on State Street in Bristol. State Street is literally located on the TN/VA state line. Bristol is a twin city!










Here is a nice photo of state street in the daytime.















A War Memorial located downtown. Isn't it beautiful??

























Two more views of State Street. I wish I could've gotten some night time pics. All of the trees that line state street are decorated in lights and the Bristol VA/TN sign lights up and most of the signs on the buildings on that street are bright neon lights. It's really something to see!!!
