Your Area.......

What isn't there to do in my area would be a better question. I live in a very populated area. There are over 30 museums in a 45 minute drive radius. There are countless art galleries, movie theaters, coffee shops, concert venues, playhouses, rec centers, about 30 malls within a 30 minute drive radius, a large zoo, Busch Gardens theme park, tons of free standing shops, restuarants, hockey, baseball, & football teams, arena football,tons of parks... the list goes on and on. There is a Starbucks on every other corner - well not really, but it seems that way.

There's alot to do if you go into Pittsburgh, nightclubs, sporting events, etc. Locally, not so much. But I did recently get involved in a community theater group. We are strating rehersals tomorrow for a murder mystery dinner theater show called 'Murder by Magic'. Should be fun...I get to be sawed in half, lol!

Well, in my town that's kind of a joke. The largest event I've attended in the 3 months I've been here was getting a flu shot at the Senior Citizen's center. We can also go to the post office to pick up our mail, and on Thursday evenings we can go to the local eatery for homemade liver and onions. End of story. Of course, we're only 10 minutes from a larger town where we can do most of our shopping. And 40 minutes away is Des Moines. Pretty much anything you could want is there including nice malls and wonderful restaurants. There are concerts and theater company presentations. I like the huge Planned Parenthood Book Sale every year in September. The Blank Park Zoo is there and so is a large Botanical Center. Since Des Moines is Iowa's largest city, there are all the amenities there that anyone could want. We're also within a few hour drive to the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Chicago.

Where I live ... there is everything you can think of (except snow of course). I live in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area of Florida. We have tons of musuems, art galleries, coffee shops, a zoo, several aquariums, Busch Gardens theme park, boating, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, ghost tours, historic buildings, Ybor city for nightlife and clubbing (it's several streets of club after club). There are malls every fifteen minutes. Tons of movie theaters, bowling allies, miniature golf. A historic pier in st. Pete. Fort Desoto. Sunset festivals at Pier Sixty. Tons of concert venues and colleges. Every kind of resturant you can think of. The Science museum. It's definately active here.

This is a nice low key topic...thank you for posting it. I live in rural Minnesota. We have the lakes, rivers, swamps...LOL! In summers we fish, fall we hunt, winter we have ice fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, year round we have horseback riding, winter sleighs, summer wagons... We only have two large cities in MN, Minneapolis and St. Paul and a couple smaller ones, Duluth on Lake Superior being one. There is shopping for those who enjoy it, theatre for those who wish to attend, sports events, music and usually family fun. I mostly am responding to this post though to say hi to the member(s) from the Corn Patch from one from the Land of Lakes.

I live in a small town. Locally theres not a heck of a lot to do. We have a provincial park for camping with a lake so you can fish, do water sports, camp. Theres a golf course, in the summer we have 5 restaurants, 4 shops for groceries/hardware. Hiking trails, people can ATV or walk. Canada Day activities and farmers market. The winter time...We have 2 restaurants, the same number of shops. The park and golf course are closed but you can snowmobile or hunt, skating, curling, carol festival , hobby fairs. During the school year there are movies put on by the school band and other activities through the school open to the public, some clubs.

I do what everyone does in there city first off i live in Richmond, VA movies ice skating malls bowling...pretty much everything.

Our area is famous for agricultural university and industrial hub. It carries less of malls although many are coming up now and few things like museums or zoos.

There isn't a whole lot to do in my small town. But you can go into Pittsburgh to see a play, symphany, sports event, the zoo. THere is also Ohiopyle an hour so away from where I live, it's a national park, or Seven Springs Ski Resort an hour in the opposite direction.

we live in the city and there so many malls around here, you'll just have to pick where you want to go. there's also a bay but it's not near and you've got to travel by car at about 30 minutes. it's fun being there so much people exercising every morning, jogging, biking, boating, differetn stuffs. and more families just want to relax than being in a mall:)

nothing spacial only malls & parks

there are malls here in california as well. i go to chuck-e-cheeses for my free time though...haha.. even though im too old enough. there are also things like you mention here too.

i live in delhi which i can call as the craziest city of the world.....so much population drives me crazy..........

I live in a town where you can do almost nothing. Shopping (except tha super market) is limited, and the fun is there only the summer. We have to visit near cities to have everything done.

Well, all of this sounds Fun, as I have always wanted to visit Denver. I hear it is an exciting place. I live in the Seattle, WA area, and there is always plenty to do here to keep a person busy. There is 2 Zoos here in this area, the Seattle Center with the Space Needle, the mountains all within driving distance, many ski areas, EMP aka Experience Music project to hear some Great music like Jimmy Hendrix, a professional Baseball, Basketball, and Football team, and much more. If you ever come here to visit, and are bored, it would be your own fault for sure.
