The neighborhood I live in is mostly all houses built in the 50 thru the 70's. Ours was built in the 80s. We have a couple of churches and our high school is less than a mile from me. Down the hill we have a gas station, Starbucks, a convenience store a Dunkin Donuts and a couple of banks. In our area what we have for grocery stores: Stop and Shop, A & P, Shoprite, Shaws , Big Y and Adams. When we go visit my sister in Ohio I get to go to her Krogers which I love! Too bad we don't...

There's also a "Save A Lot" near us. It's another grocery store,basically.

Oh, we've got a Piggly Wiggly in town, or as most of us locals call it, "Da Pig". While it's not a small grocery store, it's probably the smallest store left in the area, as it's so hard to compete with the big corporate chains like Pick N Save, Festival, and of course Wal-Mart. There was a time when I was a kid when there were tons of smaller neighborhood grocery stores. No more.

The Wal-Mart that they opened nearby just a few months ago has really been killing alot of the smaller businesses around here,especially the small businesses that have to increase their prices just to keep up.

There's a county in West Virginia called Paw Paw (It's true. Look it up). Imagine if they had one of those convenience stores called Wawa in that county. "Let's go to the Wawa in Paw Paw."

Thanks Jilly! The Wawa around here is famous for their giant goose statue!

"Hey Jilly, what's Wawa? There's a town called Wawa between my hometown and the city I'm going to school in. "

Hey Petey,

Wawa is a convenience store. They have everything including gas. They are very popular in my part of the east coast.

My sisters husband works for a moving company and he travels all over the U.S. He said he wishes he had a camera with him.

I'm near power lines, in a neighborhood of older homes with tons of pine trees: I could walk to a local grocery store, ace hardware and laundromat, but I prefer to drive. It's very ethnically diversified in my neighborhood, tower of babel, so to speak. Like you, Tom, I am near the airport, but luckily not much airplane noise here, only when it rains they fly low near us.

Directly across the street from me is the back end of a highschool, and their football field. (I only had to walk across the street to vote this morning, because the h.s. was the voting place - Indiana primary is today.) I live in the downstairs apt of a brown and white house on the corner with my 25 yr-old son. Then at the other end of the block is the expressway, 80/94, which goes right into IL and west of Chicago, etc., and to the east it goes to MI. (It's an overpass section and has...

We have two homes. One is in Freeport,which is a small town with one stoplight. It's more of a retirement town. They roll up the sidewalks at 10pm each night.
The other home is in the country and is on about 6 acres,might be 8. But it's secluded and allows for privacy.

We have lots of aerospace facilities and freight companies around my neck of the woods. Ah, the joys of living close to an international airport!

...there is one church, a jr. high, an elementary school (where my daughter attends), and an off-leash dog park. Down the road a bit is a Raley's grocery store and small shopping center. What's in yours?
