I was just searching youtube and yaya I know youtube LOL So I looked up my home town and thought wow it would be cool to see video of others home towns/city's. Maybe give a small insight to parts of the world we may never see. No matter where your from post a vid from where or where about's you live. I love my city errrrr but we are at over a million people now, but it's still awsome.

I'll post my home town/city

My home town:

I truly enjoy the fact that Kansas City has and continues to celebrate its unique culture. There is definitely no place like my home.

I live in the Blue Mountains,

but grew up in Sydney, Australia!

Nice! I have to say I didn't think Kansas City would be so awsome looking. Ok I will never dis Kansas again,promise LOL I hate that you guys get the tornadoes so often. We had one here up in Edmonton that was brutal. Thanks for the insight on your town. Loved it

You're most welcome.
The Kansas City everyone knows and loves is in Missouri. That's where all the great history and traditions are from, and where I grew up and continue to live. You can continue to diss Kansas and KCK all you want.

Oh man that was wicked. I love Australia, never been there but I really do like how close Canada and Australia are in there/our thinking. Ok well for the most part LOL. I just got my passport a few months ago so I could visit the states LOL and well over sea flights are cheaper than if I were to fly to Nova Scotia or New York. Australia is close to the top of places to visit.

Well I live 30 min from the rockies, so we do call flatlanders, flatlanders LOL. Kansas well come on Dorathy from oz was pretty cute LOL

Great vids guys - enjoyed them both!!!

I agree - Canada and Australia always seem quite similar in a lot of ways. And both have awesome scenery!

What a cool idea for a thread.

This is a time laps vid from Canada Olympic park to Banff. I worked there as a kid(18 yr old) LOL security LOL To bad it's cloudy out. This road is like the autobaun, 120 km is to slow. Really it is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbo9Ko2LCwg

Even cloudy, the mountains towards the end look fantastic.

I agree 120 is sometimes too slow

I found this video (it's GORGEOUS) of a park that's less than a mile from my house. It's an enormous city park, about 650 acres. The park is called Marymoor, it's in Redmond Washington (roughly 7-8 miles east of downtown Seattle).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0sG2z95ei4

And this one, same park... some goofball strapped a video camera to a remote control airplane (there's an RC airfield at the park featured above). This is the town I live in. What you can't see in this vid, because it's hazy, is the mountains that ring the area. The large buildings you see in the vid are mostly some of the corporate Microsoft offices. This was shot in winter, which is why it looks a little brown. LOL. Typically it's green.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgIdpmhO3C4

I LOVE living in this area, it's lush, green, friendly, and there's always lots to do if you don't mind doing it in the rain.

i was born in this town, and like the video kinda shows, there's actually alot of creepy stuff there,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udvoDCCfw7I...feature=related

but i spent almost all my life here, its to hot in the summer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHhKKxly3hM

this is a cool topic- thanx for posting it

I live in a small island called Malta, in the Med sea.

Malta

and this is Sliema, the town i live in.

Sliema

nice thread indeed.
I invite you for a ride in my hometown, Vilnius, Lithuania http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2-kxAzCmss...feature=related About 1:10, on the left, near a church, is my academy I go every day It's also on the right at 4:02

Sooooo... Anukis, my friend.... how do you feel about having a house guest for a few years? LOL. I do dishes. LOL

BEAUTIFUL!

Hey! Before I saw that you did tell us that was Nakusp, I looked at that and thought... Hey, I've been there! And sure enough, I have! It's gorgeous. Breathtaking really.

British Columbia is SOOOOO beautiful, anyone who ever has the opportunity to visit BC or the Pacific Northwest... should.

Ortona, Italy

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

...The music on these makes me twitch.

I couldn't find any pics of the village on Coll (An island off of the coast of scotland which i call home, even though i dont live there permanantly)

here's a photo I took of one of the beaches near where i used to live

I dont have any pics of my 'actual' hometown, Turriff in scotland, its kinda boring...

Very nice, and I think my parents took me there when I was about 10 or so. The name Marymoor sounds very failure and we went to Seattle alot. Awsome !

What most kids remember about that park is the big old fashioned dutch style windmill, and the bicycle Veledrome, the RC field, and possibly the tons of soccer fields. LOL.

It's a wonderful place to live near. They've since put in several rock climbing walls, and a 4000 person outdoor amphitheater for concerts. I can hear most of the shows from my house.

Ok my passport is in hand and my tax return is in the mail, now I just have to figure out my next destination. I have only ever traveled to the States and Mexico. So I think something over sea's. Oh wait I do want to see Vegas never been ahhh Vegas heard lots of good stories lol.

Lot's of great vid's I hope to see lots more and I wish I could comment on them all but I think that might be spam Malta looks awsome yummm, and Gainsville, would have loved that as a kid nice and scary lol.

MissMelsWell's

that is so cool you have been to Nakusp, not to many people can say that. My folks still live there and I go as many times as work will let me in the summer a beautiful place actually all the pacific N.W. including Montana lol I have some land there in the middle of no where lol. I hope to go back to nakusp may long weekend, I bought a dirtbike a couple years ago and well it's my new passion and you can explore alot using old logging roads. I had a really cool run in with my second face to face with a grizz and wow he wasn't scared of me or my bike or the noise, he got pretty close and well ya I was freakin but he just decided I wasn't worth the effort. Must have been my Darth Vader riding gear lol. you ever get back up that way maybe a beer and a dip in the hot springs lol.

Cheers all

OK OK another shamless plug for Calgary LOL I know I'm bad but I can't help it. I love this town lol

This is the place where I grew up as well as currently live, it's kind of small but interesting.

Not really, but might as well be. All this pic is missing is a mushroom cloud in the distance.

I hate this place.

Very nice pics of everyone's hometowns.

Is that you mid foreground in blue sun baking IS?

LOL Rebel...nope, I don't bake anymore.

I live in a very small town in New Jersey...So small, that I could only find a few pictures of our waterfront It's very quaint, with two stores a dance studio and 2 art studios...Our mainland connects by bridge to the resort area of Seaside Heights...So we actually have the best of two worlds....Oh, the first picture is where our elementary school (usually 10 kids), 6th grade students have their graduation...It's held in a gazebo right on the water...Very beautiful...

Awesome Goalie.


Just a few pics taken last winter of my home town. It isn't much but it's home & it's peaceful.

Down the end of this road is one of the best secluded fishing spots in the state (IMO)...cos i live here.
(i use it just to get away from it all or dirt bike & dune buggy riding with my boys)


This is down the end of that road. lol!
Just over the dunes is a river & further down river the ocean...


Up river...


Have a few more but they still on cam, once i workout how to up load em on my pc i'll post em.

Aww, I love the last picture REBEL, it looks so peaceful and serene...I could close my eyes and fall asleep...

Very nice places everyone.

I really love the beautiful scenery where you live REBEL.

This is where I grew up, lived for nearly 20 years. It's on a wee island in the middle of Lake Huron.

Manitowaning, Ontario

I don't live there now, I live in Barrie, Ontario. Couldn't find any nice videos of it....all I got were Warped Tour vids lol

Ok Rebel, when I come to visit. I'm hangin with you man.

Had to add befor I saw you pic's, damn!! fishin, chicks and dirt bikes. I love it

Its loud and noisy
...and I love love love it here! ! especially this time of year

LOL loud and noisy LOL same here alot. I live in a "bad" part of town and ya sirens, due to gun shots but I never hear the gun shots hmmm That pic is awsome and i'm scared to take a guess, where is that? Mid west U.S. ?

Ok out on a limb Chicago ? am i wrong or am I wrong?

I grew up and lived most of my life in a 2 mile square city within Detroit city limits called Hamtramck ( actually I grew up in Detroit. across the alley was Hamtramck) .

It has changed and not in alot of good ways. Crime has skyrocketed , houses are falling apart and remaining empty. Schools and churches have closed . It's looking more and more like Detroit. sadly. It really was like an oasis once.


and yet some things remain the same -

This is a link to Stuart, Virginia (and note, you know the town is small, when they showcase Lowe's Foods and Family Dollar as part of the attractions.. lol) (also note: I do believe that the video loops and shows things twice, perhaps so that the song could finish playing?):
Historic Stuart, VA
and a video of Kibler Valley (same area as Stuart, VA):
Kibler Valley

The link is kind of boring, but it shows the "Mayberry" side of Mount Airy, North Carolina, where I used to live. Warning: There is no catchy (or lame) music or anything, just a bunch of pictures.
Mount Airy, NC - The real Mayberry (as seen on the Andy Griffith Show)

This one has an infomercial kind of feel to it, but, it does show some of what Norfolk, Virginia (which is still close to my heart) looks like:
Norfolk, VA - Ocean View

And I could find no videos or interesting pictures of where I live now...

Hey Neighbor! I'm from Kernersville.

No not lie that really, its actually extremely safe. Safest big city in the US they say. The noise comes from simply being surrounded by millions of people all the time, traffic, buses, trains HUMAAAANITYYYYYYY....

Chicago?
CHICAGO?

Nothing riles up New Yorkers more than being compared to Chicago (a distant, DISTANT second. humph!)

*proudly stomps away in a huff*

I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta, but i can only find pictures from here.




Right near Edmonton, Alberta
Edmonton

Here's a good picture of the area I live in... Ok, it's not really a good picture, I took it while driving 70mph across the floating bridge that connects Seattle to the eastside suburbs, and I forgot to roll the window down in the car. LOL. This was last fall.

Great photos everyone, Goalie I couldn't see yours though.

Rebel, your photos are lovely.

Home is where the heart is, my city, my back yard...Somewhere...
Pavot

Well,I don't have a video camera,but you can check out the city of Schertz at their website.Close by is New Braunfels,Tx,which is the home of Schlitterbahn,the famous waterpark.
Also check out the city of San Antonio,plus there is Poteet which has a strawberry festival in April, Gonzales,where they fired the first shot of the Texas revolution against Mexico,Cuero,where they have the turkeyfest in October,or better yet,go to www.texasescapes.com,for information on many Texas towns.

I come from a fairly large town in the English Rivera, in a county called Devon in England. I'm 10 minutes car drive to the beach. Or 10 minutes car drive to the Dartmoor National Park. Or a major city on either side, Exeter or Plymouth. Got everything I need.

Dartmoor National Park.


A typical Dartmoor village, surrounded by rolling hills.

Hill after rolling hill.


The most famous sight on Dartmoor is a huge granite outcrop (there are about 26 or so of these all over Dartmoor).



The best known town in The English Rivera is Torquay, the next town over from where I live.
