what's your neighbourhood like?

[Yetra Flam]

i'm just interested to know.
I live in harlem, its not so bad but i certainly stand out with my whiteness and everything. i got mugged here once.

[kaiser soze]

very quiet (y)

[instigator7022]

I live in a tourist trap where lots of city people like to move to so they can commute to their jobs but live in the "country". Their kids come here and complain that there is nothing to do and it sucks because you have to drive everywhere.

"Where the clubs at?"

Nowhere close. Go drive to them.

We're pretty diverse though. Not so many Asians though...Only on the mountain... in the winter...

[TurdBerglar]

welfare and gunshots

[Randetica]

im living in a buildng and im having a life long war with the neighbours under me and the ones upstairs are criminals

[Drederick Tatum]

I live in Kreuzberg, Berlin. full of the unemployed, junkies, and alcoholics. it's the best neighbourhood in the best city.

[Adam]

Y'all don't know what its like, being male, middle class and white...

I live in suburbia. I move at least once a year but generally the same sort of area. Sheffield is full of students so I'm often in a student area - which is why I've loathed them since about the age of 24. I feel so old next to them. But the whole city is pretty nice, obviously so bad areas with the odd shooting and obviously some snobby areas where they call the police if they see a youth.

[Planetary]

STAFFORDSHIRE! HOME OF THE BRAVE! PUT IN WORK IN THE STREET LIKE A SLAVE!

[camo]

Like (http://www.victoria-mills.com/) a freakin holiday camp (y)/(n)

[gbsuey]

/\ nice.

Mine is council estate gone mostly private. So pretty much suburbia. Basically somewhere i never ever thought i would live-but it's ok i guess. I gotta huge garden and surrounding countryside is lush.

[-T-]

I live in a countryish area a few miles or so from town. The city i'm actually a resident of is a tourist town. So in the summer all the damn tourist come to camp and enjoy the beaches,festivals and whatever else they think is so great. There are way to many cops around and nothing for them to do.

[Dorothy Wood]

mostly working class latino, but gentrified. we got historic boulevards with old mansions and shit. there's a lot of gang violence overall, but my street is super quiet and pretty with mostly families. two homeless dudes hang out in my alley, I can hear them arguing all the time, but I think they're friends.

a walgreens is opening around the corner from my house and I am super pumped. it's already been tagged to hell though.

[AceFace]

i live in the city in a quiet neighborhood. of course my city might just be considered burbs to some of you. we're working hard to have the prettiest lawn on the block. we have some competitors for sure. we eradicate dandelions and crab grass on a weekly basis but i see others doing the same. we're going to be prettier than you, damnit!

[Rock]

Never any parking.

[jabumbo]

its a relatively quiet, middle class city neighborhood. a lot of city police, firefighters, and other public works types live here probably because its on the edge of the city and has pockets of a suburban/rural feel to it (ie: i have rabbits hiding in my bushes and deer wandering around across the street). it also appears to be a local political hot bed for some reason

Do you know what they argue about?

[ericlee]

I'm sure I've mentioned plenty enough times.

Also last saturday I was doing laundry, a few mexicans there at the laundry mat as well but as norman, I'm the only white guy in there.

I'm folding clothes, going about my business and some drunk mexican gets in my face for no reason and starts shouting some incoherent spanish.

I tell him to go 3 times and he's not listening but instead being more aggressive so I ended up throwing him into a dryer and continued folding my clothes. He just walked away after that.

We're moving by the end of this month, I'm glad.

[nodanaonlyzuul]

my neighborhood is very diverse; whites, blacks, asians, latinos are probably the smallest population in this particular area but it's fine. It's safe and has a lot to offer. There is a farmers market on Saturday which is probably the best one I've ever been to. Now that it's getting warmer we are going every week to get our produce.

There are mainly independent restaurants, an independent movie theater, and one of my favorite bars in the entire bay area here. The bar is laid back, makes STRONG drinks and plays nothing but good hip hop and classic soul. Also, there is a sushi place offering an endless sake box for $3.50. I had my birthday there, and continued it on at the bar I mentioned.

There is also a gym I can walk to. A lake that is about 3 miles around to walk/run around.

And it's about a 15 minute walk to a train station if I wanted to go to the city or surrounding places.

I'm in love with it here (y)

[Helvete]

My place is a dump.

This (http://www.geograph.org.uk/photos/10/20/102098_0bd08568.jpg) is 5 minutes from my house, and this (http://www.ldexpress.co.uk/ldexpress-news/images/1(749).jpg) happens all the time. I can see this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Ackworth.jpg) from my house also.

Compared to where I grew up and went to school. This (http://www.geograph.org.uk/photos/00/05/000583_79312348.jpg) is so much nicer. And here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/damaja/Ampthill-lights.jpg) is the town (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/damaja/2351063571_524ce93cc8.jpg) centre.

[TAL]

A pub, a hairdresser, another pub, a restaurant, a jeweller, a movie theatre, a record store, a craft store and a camera shop.

And that's just in the building I live in.

[MC Moot]

It's O.K...it's hip...used to be a haven of low rent suites for students,but old boarding houses have been wiped out and replaced by million dollar condo's...so as the face of the neighborhood get's "richer" it continues to deteriorate with boom and bust crime,drugs,transients...a river runs through it...it will do for now...

wanna see:

My new neighborhood is my childhood neighborhood, which consists of one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country, but equates to boredom. There are no bars, pubs, houses of ill-repute. Just high-end real estate. It's great for working out though, as there are great hiking trails with endless views. We just miss being able to walk or take a short cab ride to anywhere and anything.

[PENisland]

I live on an island

[Whatitis]

A beach community part of a metropolis. It's quiet, except for the drunk girl that slammed into a parked car the other night. It's exspensive to live in but I would rather pay a little bit more to live as close to work as I do, 6 blocks.

[ms.peachy]

I love my neighbourhood and I am really going to miss it :(

Everything I need is within walking distance. The library is right next door. Hampstead Heath and Regent's Park are each a short bus ride away. Great transport links to central London. Extremely diverse - ethnically, economically, socially. We've been very happy here and I can't believe a motnh from now I won't be here, it is too freaky.

lol ^ that's funny

Sounds like my old neighborhood, except rather than drunk Mexicans it's drunk Scandinavian's who are too square and big to fit into dryers.

[ms.peachy]

well you know. Onwards and forwards and all that. I keep reminding myself that just because life's been really good here, that doesn't mean it also can't be really good in Shanghai. And of course it will be a great adventure and we're fortunate to have this kind of opportunity. But still... I really love London, and I'm going to miss it here an awful lot.

That's quite a negative description. Whereabouts are you living? I can't think of many places in London that are all bad. Even places like Hackney and Finsbury have their plus points.

[Lex Diamonds]

That is the same everywhere to be fair. But if you only see the dark side of the area then that's fair enough, was just saying I reckon some people wouldn't.

[Helvete]

Brooklyn, London.

[NoFenders]

I live in a nice place that has lots of trees and places to eat and drink.
