Do you ever get comments from strangers about where you live ?

I don't know what this means ?..lol... Bezerkley ?

As a dig at the reputation of Berkeley as a nutty place. Certainly not a bastion of buttoned down conservatism. More known for the free speech movement.

Can't recall anyone asking where we live unless it was just a general question (when we' were traveling) to do with what part of the country we're from.

 

[LoveTulips]

Nope, nothing fancy where we live.

No, strangers(out-of-towners) never come here, if they did nobody would care.

"We live in the house the tree fell on."

Posting the above on here, of course, requires a backstory. Living in Jonesboro, Georgia 1993-1995, all the locals knew the house and nodded understandingly. Folks there don't use street names or addresses. Like our best and fast friend there lived in the house "by the railroad tracks where the mail sack used to be picked up." Everybody local knew where it was.

Army posted me there, and being from Nebraska, my lack of southern accent was a dead giveaway and always begged the question about where we lived.

Doesn't have to be fancy....

Yes, when I tell them I live by a big lake with walking trails I usually get "It's beautiful out there. I've ridden my bike out there."
