Vicefan7777 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Coming back from Vegas today my wife took these pictures of our town. The first is a former massage parlor that the town still has no idea what to do with the abandon building. The second is just too funny not to share. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Miami because my father attended a Navy electronics course on Miami Beach during the war. My mother traveled down to be with him and liked it better than any other place she had lived. I'm glad, it was a great place to grow up. Edited July 29, 2018 by miamijimf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Love Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Thought I'd stop off in Hong Kong for a couple of years, 20 years ago. The place has been good to me though. For every this: There's also this: One day I may have to live on it, what with the price of property here! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Falcone Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) I live in Marin Co, CA. The Land of old Hippies who Sold Out, old Musicians who are still selling out, peacock feather and hot tubs. (Famous NBC documentary about Marin Co, from 1978 called “I Want it all Now” is still kinda true.) Lots of younger-2nd-trophy-wives driving around in their white Range Rovers and yoga pants, cutting you off in traffic and parking in handicap spots while they “just run in to get a mocha-chai-frappuwhippo and drop the kids off at their Gluten-Free Horse Meditation Camp.” First pic shows the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands. (Future home to StarFleet Headquarters. Yes, I’m also a big Sci-Fi/Fantasy geek.). Big mountain in the background is Mt. Tamalpais. My town is on the far side of the mountain. Second pic is my town. Third is of a little park downtown that George Lucas built for the town. (He lives here.) Sweet little town. Nice restaurants, little shops. We can walk downtown from our place. No night life to speak off, but the next little town over is a total throwback hippie-enclave with cool bars and great live music.

Daytona74 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 vor 2 Stunden schrieb Marco Falcone: First pic shows the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands. I drove across the Golden Gate Bridge as an 18-year-old a few times while we were on a family vacation there. I think it was three dollars to go into town (the other direction was free). They called it the Pollution Solution because they tried to reduce traffic into San Francisco that way. Don't know if that's still a thing?

Administrators James Posted November 18, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Here's the view from my neighbourhood west of Melbourne, Australia. It was a gorgeous day so I thought I'd finally take a photo for this thread. It's actually closer than it looks in the photo, my phone's lens has a wide spread. On the right you have "Albert Park", where F1 is held every year. Kind of looks like Miami, you got the docks and then the city. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the bay has some Gummy Sharks. I don't think they have teeth though, hence the name. That photo was taken where the river opens up into a bay, I was standing on the edge of land, not on the water so no diving necessary. Here's another photo but taken further back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I have never been to the UK and I subscribe to the perception that it is always rainy, cold and gloomy. Maybe this was taken in the summer. Very nice and Miami-like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
