I come from Bondurant, Iowa, population 3000 or so.  We're a good old Iowa farm town that is turning into a bedroom suburb for all the people who are sick of living in the Western part of the Des Moines area.  I live in what is known as Old Downtown, across the street from City Park, and 2 short blocks from Bondurant-Farrar High School (Go Jays!).  Most of our fame is local, and most of the State of Iowa remembers us for the 1997 State Championship basketball team, when 10 of the 15 players (including myself) went Sly for the trip to State.  Overall I like my little corner of Greater Des Moines.

My home town or the town I call home?

I was born and raised for the first part of my life in Oakland CA. So that is technically my home town I guess... there are alot of "special" things about that town.

The town I reside in currently that I know call home is right above Seattle on the Puget Sound. I live walking distance to the shore and to the small downtown full of restaurants etc. Besides that fact that I live in it  O0, it is a historical little city and about 10 miles from Seattle.

I have lived in Las Vegas, NV for 21 years and its the only city I have lived in. I don't think anything special about living in Vegas, maybe taking a trip here you could find something special about it. Gets too hot in the summer so it sucks going outside unless it to the lake or someplace nice and cool. The lake isn't all that great now, it use to be a fun place to go fishing a couple of years ago but now the water level has drop so much you don't have many places to launch the boat anymore without having a big group of people trying to do the same. hmm but it is nice you can go out and get some great food for cheap.

I've lived in Green Bay, Portland, Los Angeles, Nashville and Milwaukee.  I finally grew tired of city living and moved to Almond, WI.  Truly the middle of nowhere -- Population 600.  That's special in itself for someone who's accustomed to the congestion of the larger cities.  Also, I paid $92,000 for a gorgeous 3 bedroom  bungalow built in 1903, on a huge double lot that would go for $250,000 easy in Milwaukee; $500,000 in Los Angeles.
