Do you like where you live and why.

[Anne]

I'm always interested in why or how people end up living where they do and if they like it. If they don't like it, why do they stay.

I'll start, we live in a subdivision in south Anderson. I grew up two blocks from where we live now, although my old house has been torn down for a commercial building. My husband also grew up in Anderson.  We have great neighbors and the home is confortable. My husband worked at Guide and we haven't found anyplace else we would rather live. We have considered moving to FL, SC, TN or VA but always decide to stay here.

[Anne]

I just thought an area, like Central Indiana or a state, anyway everyone on here knows I live in Anderson, but probably not my last name. I know there are lots of weird people out there. I was glad when they let us take our last names off our badges when I worked at the hospital.

. . .There is a lot of kooks out there.  Believe me. 

There's at least one I know of! 

[Sandy Eggo]

I know whick Kook you're speaking of.

She's a total nutbag!

Troll's right about that part. This weirdo has really attempted to contact people and their employers. Although I don't think it would go far if she did. Usually her info is wrong and even if it weren't, she's obviously a liar. I don't think she could cause any real trouble for anyone, but you never know. 'Sides it's annoying.

  I saw that your topic sat for two days and no one touched it.  I thought I would tell you why.

  MY little town is just great.  Live here for 68 years, except for 6 months in Pendleton.  Didn't like Pendelton to well, if your weren't in one of the two "Clicks" you were nothing.  Right after I got married.  My wife was from Markleville, I took from the sticks and brought her to the city.

  My wife worked at the local library for 13 years and she said she had to laugh when new people would come in, who were from the big cities.  Pittsburg, Indianapolis and other big cities and say.  This town is beautiful.  "IT'S JUST LIKE MAYBERRY"

  You can forget to put up your yard tools, a bike, kid's toys and they will be there the next day.

  You might know where I live, but I won't tell it again in the Zone.

  Does the ground ever shake under you feet.  Have you had any mud slides.  Have you missed the wild fires.  If you have, you live in Paradise.

I like Pendleton, we almost bought a house there in 1971, but thought it was too expensuve (25,000!!!!). My mom graduated from Markleville and we have some very close friends who live there. When I was growing up this area was "country" but it isn't now and I like the business and restaurants that are so close. Our neighborhood is pretty crime free, but the last ten years or so I have gotten into the habit of locking the doors. Never did before, how would the nieghbors or friends get into the house to borrow something if you weren't home if the doors were locked? 

I even like Indiana weather, mostly because if you wait twentyfour hours it will probably change - not like FL, which is very nice in the winter.

Troll - a small tremor a few times, but nothing to write home about. Mudslides? Only the drinks. Wildfires, yes because it's so dry here but even those have been few and far between in the southern most tip of Cali. We don't have hurricanes and we don't worry about tornados. We get a small bit of rain, but no real thunderstorms (I've always missed those).

Our weather is such that we rarely need heat or air. It's beautiful like Florida, year round, but San Diego doesn't have the humidity.

  When have some friends who's daughter was moved from Indianapolis to California by United Parcel.  After she was there about 4 months, she would write her mother how wonderful it was out there.  Then the big one hit, the earth quake.  She was in the middle of it and it scared the hell out of her.  Even the after shocks would tear her up.  She told UPS she wanted to come back home and after another 4 months, she's back in Indianapolis.  She said she was happy and the ground didn't move.

  A house in Pendleton for $25,000, why you can't even get a lot for that money, now.  The town is totally run by Yuppies.  It won't be long and it be just like Carmel.  For what that's worth.

  Indiana weather, beautiful springs, nice summers, tho it rains every weekend and Indiana winters Sucked until I retired and got me a new toy a big snow blower.  I can throw snow clear across the street.

   For the last four years we spent January, February and March in Florida.  Before that, in Gulf Shores Al.  Had many chances to buy down there, right now, if you got the cash you can't believe the good deals you can get down there now.

  But wouldn't want to live there full time.  The last two winters it was cold and the wind blew 20 to 30 miles an  hour everyday.  The last day we were there I thought I would lay out in the sun and get a few rays and it was so dry and the wind was blowing so hard, I was getting sand blown in my eyes laying there two feet off the ground.

   We sold our trailer we stored down there in November and won't be going back.  And with the oil spill in the Gulf, never.

  Anne you say your old house was torn down for a business  By chance it wasn't on the by-pass.  My wife's aunt and had lived on the by-pass for years and year, had told her that if they offered her enough money she would sell the house.  Well, about 3 years ago, they sold the house.  Must haved offered her enough.
