Title: Places you have lived.
Post by: RobJohnson on May 05, 2009, 01:58:06 AM: Post a picture of a city or town where you have lived.

I moved to this town in 2nd Grade, 1800 residents, we lived outside of town in a rural subdivison.

The town was about 30 minutes from both Rock Island & Galesburg, IL

I'm no city kid. :-)

I've spent more time with a conductor's baton than I have behind a set of drums. It's hard enough to coordinate two hands without throwing in doing stuff with two feet also.

Yes, anyone that can play an instrument amazes me, but the drums look like way too much multi-tasking for me!

I have to admit that when I went up to NJ/NY years ago, I took a look at a lake and thought it was so pretty. Then I looked closer at it, and saw how dirty it was. lol. I did like parts of Jersey though because the towns in that area were so small and cute. One could drive through them in five minutes. And of course, they had green unlike NYC. NYC could be exciting though, mostly because of the people.

Actually, that Lake Johnson in Raleigh that I posted up was actually very dirty when I lived across from it. I never saw anybody actually swim in the lake. lol.
