Those photos are certainly nicer than I've ever seen Providence!  8)

I'll take that as a compliment on my photography.

Thanks!

Haha no one wants to see the ugly parts like oakland avenue! The east side and downtown providence are nice and the rest isn't so nice. Fair enough?

Newport is gorgeous man I would consider retiring there when im 65  :)

Hope you can afford a place given that the real estate costs are quite high.

The average is like 500k no? Thats pretty bad! I thought San Diego prices were terrible.

One of my brother, who certainly has no interest in art music whatsoever.

Not really what I had in mind, but you sure can use an interior decorator  ;D

I live in Albquerque, New Mexico.  Its primary advantage is a wonderfully dry climate.  About half the population is hispanic and 10% native american; the african-american population is very low.

At the southern tip of Manhattan, in Battery Park City.
Here is my building in red circle. We are looking eastward, so no river views, but we do have a nice skyline view of tall office buildings, particularly nice late in the evening when the sky turns dark blue.

It is a nice area, but it does not have Manhattan feel to it -not much going on. The area is mostly filled with parks and residential buildings. Tribeca and Soho are in walking distance though.  :)


Orbital, you're joking! I used to live right around the corner at 333 Rector Place (2000 to 2002). My floor just cleared the building across the way, so I had a view of the bay and to my right a view of the river, but your building (!) blocked the view of the Statue of Liberty. Of course, after 9-11 nothing was the same again. My apartment was unscathed, thankfully. But the way the government and the various landlords behaved was just horrible. And I remember how the management companies just got a bunch of Mexicans without any respiratory protection to go in and clean out the dust from people's apartments. Anyway, I got a new job in Germany in '02 and moved away. But I did like the neighborhood, even though it's all new and without much character. But the waterfront and the easy access to Tribeca (at half teh rent of Tribeca) can't be beat.

Stange, Hedmark, Norway. Rural I guess:



A very old aerial photo. They don't dry hay like this any more...
I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.

I live in Germany in a village along the Rhine River a few miles north of the city of Worms. I just checked my photo files and couldn't find any decent pictures of the place. Tomorrow I'll take a few and post them. In the meantime, here's our house. The picture on the right side is what it looked like in 1990/91 (what Mrs. Rock looked like then too). I carried this photo with me during the Gulf War to remind me why I needed to come home :)  The picture on the left side is what it looks like today...well, you'll just have to believe me when I say the house is still there. I hate to trim trees and bushes ;D

Looks to me like Sean has all the necessities - a computer desk, chairs, couch, heating plant and a table for sexual activities.

His missing a blow up doll a lamp and a bong. Luckily some lamps double as bongs but you know more than me.

We seem to have the same approach to gardening, Sarge.

Sean, the thread is where do you live, not how do you live. We don't want to know that.

Good man. It's the only sane way, Valentino...and environmentally correct too, au naturel  ;D

The thread is about where you live....not where do you live in your head.

Undergrad. You are in Law? I thought you did something with music, you are always very knowledgeable.

Thanks. Sometimes I think I should have... I am indeed an attorney. But my parents are violinists. I have been playing the piano since age 7, though. Do they still have that Steinway grand in the little library in Philosophy Hall? I liked to sit down and play there every now and then. It was a quite decent instrument.

This is where I live now in Evanston, IL just north of Chicago. We live on the top floor:
