Whenever I look out the window, I just see a huge garbage bin filled with cups and fast food bags. Behind it, a new McDonalds is being built, right down the street, from another McDonalds, followed by 2 Subways and a Papa Johns. I hate Indiana.

Post by: Adeli on October 30, 2004, 03:39:27 pm: My parents love New Zealand, I\'ve never been and I don\'t look at their photos. I can see what\'s so nice about it though. I used to be friends with two girls from Christchurch, they wanted me to visit, but I couldn\'t afford it.

Post by: Efflixi Aduro on October 31, 2004, 03:16:08 am: Ya if you drive for like 10 mins theres one of the best places to go backpacking, biking, ect. in southern CA. Iv been backpacking there a lot before and there are times that the only part between you and a 3000 ft drop down is a 1 ft wide trail. My friend almost fell to his death there but the guy behind him grabbed his arm.

Power Plant, worked there for awhile

(http://www.estevan.com/1931Riot.jpg)

This is Estevan back in the day when the coal miners tried to strike with a union but the owners of the coal mine got RCMP and police officers to stop them from crossing through town and in the end killed a few civilians.

(http://www.estevan.com/drag4.JPG)

drag lines :P

couldnt find any big images of our city, birds eye view but basicly if you have seen Episode 2 of star wars and at the end when teh bad guy is meeting the other guy on that secret buildiing on that planet, and when he goes there he passes through this industrial area that is just massive :P

That is our city :P I think we are like 12,000 strong

tis my thinking spot, and since i dont often think, i dont spend much time there ... :) its right behind my house, down a steep wooded cliff.

lol, in case you didnt notice, i live off the beaten path, i have only 3 neighbors, and it takes me about 20 minutes to reach the nearest civilization, which happens to be my school. ::if you look to the mid-right or the shore you will see plumes of smoke rising from the trees, that is one of my neighbors houses. we have kayaks, so it doesn\'t take long to get over there. i can paddle there in 10 minutes.

i live in a 2 story log cabin, and yes, we do get cable out here.. lol

EDIT) almost forgot to mention where this is.. lol its in upstate new york.

Thats Seattle there fireofsoul :)
Title:
Post by: fireofsoul on November 06, 2004, 11:21:10 pm: Looks awsome, what\'s the pollution like though?
Title:
Post by: XpYtZ on November 08, 2004, 10:41:15 pm: Well, it has a costal pressure system and the Jetstream passes over us fairly often so it keeps things pretty clear. Seattle has a fair amount of particle matter in its air from the Port and Factories, as well as a large amount of commuters. But where I live, (grannite falls) is out near the mountains so there is vurtually no pollution, including Light pollution.
In fact, last night the Aroura Borealis(sp) \"nothern lights\" were amaising. We only see them three or four times a year this far south but because of the angle we were at they filled the entire sky with blue, white, green and magenta flashes of color. It was pretty impressive.

Post by: KwartzTheKran on November 09, 2004, 06:48:43 pm: heres an actual tour by some nut jobs, starting at my city centre to the place I live.
