Oooh FUN!
Peterborough, Ontario is where Matt and I have been for the past 8 years and we're staying.
Arial view:
(not a very big picture, but I couldn't find another one).
Downtown. Lots of little shops, awesome restaurants, a few good places to drink, with a short walk to the river and surrounding parks.
Market Hall. Theatre, clock tower and focal point of downtown. It's under renovation right now and the clock hasn't worked in almost a year, but it's going to be very nicely restored once it's done.
The famous Lift Locks.
I prefer the downtown area of Peterborough to the busy, commercial, south end. But it's there, so I can't leave it out. The only pictures I could find were on someone's Flickr, and I can't post it directly so hopefully this link works.

And that's where we live

Get some sturdy boots and go an explore it with a dog - it's what the countryside is MADE for - and it's heaven
and Romeo would try to go home lol
being alone and walking around roots, dirt, bugs, animals,spiders.. sounds like hell to me! lol I would freak out!! and end up in the hospital lol
I love the city. the noise, the people, the environment, the fun...
The downtown area with the overhead sidewalks
Every 4th Friday from late spring through early fall there's an event of some sort downtown.
Rose Center during the Mountain Makin's Festival (last weekend in October) a couple of blocks down the hill from my house. It's a 1900s era school that was saved and converted to a cultural and community center. Weird to think that Mountain Makin's draws people to Morristown from all over the world.
The school
10 minutes from me up Hwy 25E
The haunted Murrell home
I'll be glad to see you, lol! Just make sure you come to the eastern end. It's totally different from middle and western. Oh, and there are tons of dog friendly places in the Smokies. The Sevier County/Gatlinburg area is about 45 minutes from here.
If you like to camp and fish, the lakes that surround Hamblen County have plenty of places to stay or camp.

It's easier for me to post my city's website photo tour! LOL
Link--------> The Official Website of the City of La Porte, Indiana Just scroll to see all the various photos of the city.
And just 10 minutes away is Lake Michigan.......one of my favorite parts of the area
And of course the sand dunes! Mount Baldy (yes, funny name! haha) is 100 feet tall I think, fun for climbing, sledding, snow boarding.........just an all season type place to go!

I am currently here.
Here's another shot of A&M. The two main buildings of note are the administration building at the end of the two lane street coming out of the bottom of the picture, and the Academic Building, which is the one with the big dome at the very left, middle edge of the picture. And of course the Welcome to Aggieland water tower.:
Here's one of the local, popular parks. It's a lot bigger than this but the pond is the main feature. Research Park:
This is a map of my personal favorite park, Lick Creek Park. Note the waste water treatment plant. It's actually remarkably well hidden and you have to follow a rut in the dirt quite a ways to get there:
On nice days I'd love to be there instead of cooped up in a building all day, but here is where I spend 90% of my time:
Hell yah it is!
One of my favorite parts of the Bird, which y'all can see in the picture Laur posted, is Bottle Cap Alley, which is the little alley off to the right there (can't see it in the picture). it is completely carpeted in beer bottle caps and that's where the fish corps members go to make their Fish Spurs, which they wear....the week before we play Texas Tech, I believe. And if we lose, they have to wear them the week after. Started with SMU, but we don't play them any more.
There's a remarkable amount of history crammed into Aggieland.
What do you consider massive? What population level?
It...it has a tree growing out its window!!
