My concern is how parents leave their children outside with out their supervision at dusk and after dark. Even during the day it isn't safe any longer.
A vehicle can stop and within just a few seconds someone could grab a little child. He/she is gone before ANYONE knows it!
Is your child playing outside with other children? Does that make them safe? What happens if they walk away from the other children, just walking, and someone calls them aside? Just a couple seconds there and your child can be gone!
Do we have to live in fear? To a point, yes. There are so many little ones under the age of 7 years old who are out at the Highland apartments and their parent is in the house, on the computer, visiting with their friends, sleeping, etc. They haven't even come OUT OF HOUSE to check on the children.
Parents need to set limitations. You can't see your child if they are 'around the corner'.
I think a law should be passed that says that little children should be IN THE PRESENCE OF THEIR PARENT BY DARK! And then if an officer goes by a child, he can stop, ask the child his/her name and take the child to the parent. If no precautions are taken by the parent, then they should be reported.
We're seriously considering moving to kingman in the next 8 months, we're recently retired. We visited Kingman in March for a short time and liked what we saw. We're going back in October to look in depth. I'd love to here what the locals think....
what are the general property values of the area? Is Dolomite expanding or stable? What is the atmoshere like? Just a few questions to anyone who knows Dolomite well. I am thinking of buying some land there. Imputs appreciated.
It's a small town so everybody knows everybody else's business and if they don't, they make it up. If your not related to anybody there, you aren't and never will be anybody.
Durham has been my home for many years, everything has been great while living here (except for the amount of crime) and is the place a call home.
Durham is in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and is known as the city of medicine, and is home to one of the medical centers : Duke Hospital. With Durham being part of The Triangle, it is nearby Chapel Hill and Raleigh.
With many thing to do such as fishing and hunting(Children 16 and under are not required to have a license but must be accompanied by a licensed adult.) there is no reason not to have a good time. Major shopping areas are Located near the Durham area, so finding a place to spend money should be no hassle at all.
If your kids need something to do there are plenty Bowling Lanes, historic sites, museums, and and golf courses to choose from.
So in a nutshell living in Durham has been a blast and i think that coming to North Carolina could be a Blast for anyone, even if your not visiting the Biltmore Estate.

Laurium is known for many things ... for being the home of George Gipp, for being in the heart of the Keweenaw's 'Copper Country', located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and for being at the heart of a wide variety of sites know for their natural beauty. The adjoining village of Calumet is also designated as a National Park.
The bad part of Laurium for me is that many people pass by on their way to Copper Harbor, Brockway Mountain, etc., never knowing what they are passing by, and I don't see them in my shop The Yard Sale, a resale shop known for offering a wide variety of items, including many albums, books, video games, musical instruments, etc., as well as traditional antiques and collectibles.

New to Researching Anderson Island: I am considering buying one of the many available lots on the island in the summer of '07. Some of the higher priced lots are in what's called "Crucial Aquifer Recharge Areas." These are areas that are monitored and governed by a local water agency to make sure the potable water is safe. I do not know whether being in one of these zones assures a lot owner of being able to develop their land. I also don't know if being outside one of these zones means lot owners cannot build a house on their land. I have found that none of the lots have piped-in gas or sewage service. However, most have electricity and telephone. Among the ones that do have water, I have found that several share private wells. The island is a private community and landowners must pay annual membership fees to the country club.
There are CC&Rs governing the rights and limitation landowners have. The only way to access the island from the mainland is by ferry and you have to get a pass to land on the island. So, in summary, if you are thinking about buying a lot on the island, you should research carefully the issue of aquifer recharge zones, and the availability of water, electricity, and septic services, as well as whether the island's CC&Rs restrict you from building.
I cannot believe what you did to that little girl who was the potatoe queen. Your town should be ashamed of yourself. You will always be remembered in a negative manner due to the ignorance of those who where part of this decision. I would never support a community who does not support the intentions of good children! Shame! Shame! Shame! The need of support within this community has been tossed away!
Hayfork is my hometown where I lived for many years until I went off to college and got married. I returned twice and loved each minute of it. It is a beautiful place which is very close to my heart and will never be forgotten.
I now live in Egypt where I've lived for the past 29 years.
How I miss the beautiful mountains, green forests and Hayfork River where I use to swim and fish.
I would love to see photos of that beautiful valley and surrounding National Forest.
My home town is Chittenango.My mom moved us to Texas directly after I graduated from Bolivar Central Elementary.
I thank God for my school counselor Mrs Fuller! Her and her husband would pick my sister and i up on Sundays to go to Church,i believe somewhere in Bridgeport. One of my best friends, Paula Burke 12 was murdered shortly after i came to Texas my sister Jill, Paula, and I use to hang out on the gazebo that sits at the "Y" on Genesee street. It was there that we would act like silly little girls , just singing..and putting on our own free-styling plays...just off the top of our heads, not caring who was watching!My last memory of her was ...the weekend before we left ,I went to Canastoda to spend time with Rene. Rene says she showed up w/ 1 can of soup in her "white round purse"...totally cute! I just remember her
driving away in her moms white car!
God Bless our Village in Truth and Justice...Amen

My 2nd great grandfather was Alanson Hickok who came to Cato in 1853. He was the first Town Chairman and was the person who named Cato after his home of Cato, NY. He is buried in Cato Heights Cemetery and in the next ten days or so there will be a Veteran's marker placed on his grave, next to his son's grave. His son Charles died in the Civil War.
I am wondering if there will be a Susquecentennial in Cato this year. Jerry Linsmeier mentioned it to me last fall.
Anyone having any information please contact me. Beth
This may not be the appropriate place to ask for help with this question but perhaps someone would be kind enough to guide me. I am a former resident of Springfield living in California for the past 50 years or so. Back in 1933-34 I was 10 years old and my family and I spent two enjoyable summers at Forest Lake. I now am almost 85 years old and have met someone on the internet that I used to know back then. We are trying to find out what Forest Lake is like now but all my searches end up with a Forest Lake near Lawrence, MA.
What happened to the Forest Lake near Palmer that we knew? It doesn't seem to show on any Google maps. Can anyone help?
To Deb; If my choices were Olive Branch, Mississippi or Jackson, Mississippi, Olive Branch is a hands-down winner. According to local news, the mayor of Jackson, MS had to ask for the State's national guard to patrol its streets because of crime last year.
While Olive Branch is not perfect, it is safer for kids and adults than Jackson, in my opinion.
If, however, you are meaning JACKSON, TENNESSEE, then that is a different scenario. Jackson, TN is "user friendly."
I would like information about the logistics of living in Bethel, Alaska as an "over 50" year old single Professional woman. How feasible is it to manage transportation, moving, long distance supplies, etc. with no partner to share the work load?

Can anyone tell me more about Moranville. I live in Florida, so my chances of getting there are slim. My last name is Moranville, and I am interested in knowing more about the town and its heritage.
Hello to whomever may read this, I am currently planning on taking a trip up to Bay Lake in crow wing county. I grew up fishing on the lake. Everything I was once taught about fishing, comes from my early memories of fishing the lake. What I remember about the lake is that it had a great northern population and bass, as well as pan-fish and walleye. It has been nearly 15 years since my last trip to the cabin and lake.. If anyone has any good spots, or idea's for fishing the lake upon my return, please let me know.
Thanks

Henry is a beautiful town, set on the Illinois River. Henry is most known for being the "BEST TOWN IN ILLINOIS BY A DAM SITE." It's a great place to raise your kids. I've lived there for over 30 years. If you're looking for property or vacation homes, I can help you out.
Forest City is a small town USA setting with a town layout near perfection.
Although most of the downtown merchants have closed due to Wal Mart there are still a few businesses downtown and some are updating due to the planned restoration of the old Florence Mill located right off main street in Forest City.
Millions of dollars have been allocated for turning the old mill into articulate town house living and shopping area which should make the downtown area one of a kind. I guess the future holds the story for that one.
The town goes all out for it's Christmas decorating and maintains a fresh spring time look with lots of funds spent on horticulture and holds some special landmarks that really make it special looking, like the water fountain in the middle of town.
Check out the images for more an idea of the town's layout and look.
Hi , I'm giving a try at hopefully getting in contact with my sister . Patty May Gorder .

She was adopted to a childless family (the day she was born )

I know that posting this blog is a very very very long shot .
I read that Fort Collins made the best place to live list and want to know what makes it so? Tell me both the pros and cons and be honest. I am considering a move to Colorado but not sure which area.

I have three brothers: Ronald, Ros, and John.
I graduated school from Vina. When I was there it was an extremely good academic school. Tommy Holcomb and Tommy Williams gave me a great foundation in science and math.

I feel I am part of your community as one of my best Air Force buddies is retired in your area. I was stationed at Craig Air Force Base from 51-55 and made a lot of friends in Selma. Even though I am a dam Yankee I certainly respect the Alabamians. I am an Oregonian now but I still remember your friendship. Don Ayers Philomath Oregon
Amazing about properties owned by nonresidents or real estate developers!! No one cleans, sweeps, cuts grass on that property. There are houses worth over one million dollars that look like they are abandoned because nonresident owners can't be bothered. What a blight on our community! Speaking of blights, does anyone hear the booming noises from Kings Materials as their trucks are loaded up at 5 AM every day? The traffic on Cortelyou Road and McDonald Ave comes to a stand still when Kings trucks depart and arrive every day. Not to mention the clouds of cement dust that arise all day long. I wonder how dangerous all that dust is for all people, but especially the babies.
I've heard that there is a place by Verdel, NE, that has some trailer houses along the Missouri River. I'm wondering if someone is developing this area or what the story is? Any information would be great.
I just learned about Odense, Kansas. It happened when I browsed the internet for som information about MY ODENSE which is located in Denmark. I read that your town was named after mine, and now I wonder who got that idea - and why? If anyone knows, or if anyone wants to know more about my Odense, please feel free to come forward. My email is: federau@galnet.dk
Does anyone remember, or better yet, have photos of the visit by Willie Mays and Willie McCovey - together - to the Walnut Creek Civic Center waaaaaay back in the early/mid 1960's ?
They both batted balls around for the better part of the day and weeee kids ran around shagging flies and trying to catch the homers over the fence. (You had to stand down in the creek to do that).
Try and get two Superstars to make a day-long visit like that today!
It was truly an awesome event.
I was about 10 years old.
The only problem - my folks did not bring a camera and I can't find squat about it anywhere.
I stood with both Mays and McCovey together, and people were taking photos.
I would LOVE to find one.
I live in Salamanca, New York. I didn't realize there was a Salamanca, Kansas.
Salamanca, New York is the only city in the world located on an Indian Reservation. We were named after a Spanish Nobelman who invested in the building of the railroads here.
We are in Cattaraugus County near the Pennsylvania border. The Indians are Senecas of the Iroquois Confederation. We have a beautiful new casino, a Seneca Museum and Library, a railroad museum and are within 6 miles of Allegany State Park.
The population is just over 6,000 but is growing due to the casino etc.
I grew up in Waterloo. Went to Waterloo High. Moved to Seneca Falls till I was 24. Then made the big move to Buffalo to become an artist. I became a church muralist for the catholic church to my suprise. I have always missed Waterloo over the years and plan to visit very soon. Love my home town!!!
Might be relocating to Buckman....from the city, altho am looking for some quiet nights, which im sure i'll have plenty of. what is there to do there? i hope it is going to be a nice town to move to.

Noble has been a great place to teach. We may not have as many opportunities as the bigger schools but we seem to do a good job on what we do offer. I do wish we offered more AP classes.
I lived in Judsonia from 1961 thru 1964, the town my Mother grew up in. It was a nice little town, everyone knew everyone, especially the Boldings, my family. I still have family there, and my good friend of over 40 years. thankyou, Judsonia
I cannot believe that the state of Alabama let people live in the houses that I seen on my recent trip to Detroit. They should be condemed and burnt to the ground. Alabama is such a dirty state anyway. All the abandoned houses, cars and junk they just leave lying around. There is no pride here what so ever. You would think that Alabama is the poorest state in the US, oh wait is is 40th on the list. "Alabama the Beautiful" where? TO THE MAYOR OF DETROIT: CLEAN UP YOUR TOWN!!!

If you like the beautiful country, farm animals, covered bridges and wildlife...this is the place for you!
On the flip side, Veedersburg is like the sitcom "Cheers". Everyone will know your name (including your family history), where you work and probably the amount of money you have in the bank. In Veedersburg, if there is something that you don't know about yourself, go to the local restaurant where you can sit with the local police, residents and county officials, all of whom will be more than happy to fill you in. In short, a town where you will never have to wait for the newspaper!
I live in WV but am considering a move to another area. I am currently a music teacher and would be interested in a choral music position in either middle or high school. Can anyone tell me how the public schools rate and possibly any information on teacher salaries there? Thanks
My brother bought a house over on poland-china road a few years back. I moved all my things to his house with intent of spending a few months or years with him , and renewing our friendship as brothers. but, left after just about a month, with a promise to return. As luck would have it I took to long and he died . Now, I only wish I would not have taken so long . It will always sorta be in my heart as his home , he loved it there and I really liked it while I was there.
My daughter-in-law is looking for a newspaper photo of her grandmother, Pearl Bailey, who lived in Nettleton. The occasion for the photo was Pearl's huge watermelon. The time period for this photo would have been between 1915-1997.
If anyone out there wants to help, then please get in touch.

I recently moved to this area from CA. McAllen is located in the Rio Grande Valley in extreme southeastern Texas 10 miles from the Mexican border. Foliage is subtropical, dense and is known for birds. The population is near 103,000 (not exact). However, with the surrounding areas of Edinburg, Mission, Hidalgo, La Penitas and others the population is nearer to 150,000. The area has a low cost of living.
The city contains one tall skyscraper, the Chase Building. (Another skyscraper is not downtown.) The de facto downtown has no skyline, is rundown, has a JC Penny's and a collection of stores catering to Mexicans plus a large transit center. The city is multi-cultural though there're endless strip malls. All the superstores like Home Depot and Walmart are here: no less than 4 Walmarts within a ten mile radius, plus two Starbuck's. The major supermarket is "HEB" and Walmart which sells groceries. There are two bookstores: B & N and Hastings with plans to build another B & N.
What are the pluses in Labanon? It is just my husband and myself we are quiet middle aged, who will be looking to buy a home within the first year. Where is the average well kept area we should consider?
What should we avoid in this town. Are the people friendly? Do they mainly keep to them selves or what. Is the land good for gardening. Is the traffic conjested. What I would like to hear so I know what to expect.
When looking for housing, to begin mainly apartments and houses for rent. Please avoid the bad areas.
i haven't been there but my family are trying to get more info on our background. If you can give us any info we would greatly appreciate it. email me at elizabethsmom04@yahoo.com

I've lived in North Charleston for 26 years and the situation
got so bad I moved back to Baltimore Md. Its shameful
that I could not even sit out on my front steps because
I have to stare at drug dealers and very young ones at
that. Then every time I turn on the news I hear about
killings. If they police and community learn to get along
something can be done about the crime in the neighborhoods. I kept hearing about the COP program
and when it was suppose to start but the dates kept
on being moved back due to lack of participation. Don't
get me wrong Baltimore is no better but at least the
community leaders are trying to do something up here.
It is hard to describe how it feels having mt 27 year old son living with (2) friends and my standing where he lives and looking at a Home/Store where I worked for my Grandfather 45 years ago.
We are moving to Lithia in a month or so, with our teen age daughter and our 7 year old daughter. Will someone please tell me some really terrific reasons for wanting to live in Lithia?
Thanks!!
