Riverview has grown into one of the busiest suburbs of Tampa in just the last ten years.
Alexandria is a small town almost in the exact center of Louisiana. The city is bordered by a deep river called the Red River that connects to the Mississippi River. It offers a quiet atmosphere to raise kids. There are several military bases nearby such as Fort Polk, Camp Cook, and Camp Beauregard. There's a couple of colleges such as Louisiana College, a private Baptist school, Louisiana State University at Alexandria (LSUA), and a few technical colleges. A good place to be if you like Mardi Gras, spicy food, hunting, and fishing! There's not much else to do here.
Most recently, I have lived in Farmington Hills, MI, which is outside of Detroit. I went to high school here and my high school is known for winning 13 Football State Championships. The football coach has won the most football games out of all Michigan high school football coaches. We are about 20 minutes outside of Detroit, but also have a cute downtown area with local shops and restaurants. Farmington Hills surrounds the City of Farmington (literally the hills surrounding Farmington). The area has a diverse population, with a large Jewish and Muslim population. People there often argue that "pop" is the correct way to say soda (I'm hardcore for soda myself, since I lived in Ohio and Illinois prior).
Orlando is the center of the sunshine state. Home of Disney, the insane beaches, shark bite capital, Seaworld, and Universal. Thats usually what people think of when they hear "Orlando". The parks are fun and all but everyone who lives here knows that pub subs are the best sandwhiches *chefs kisses*, Florida man IS a thing, and seeing and petting alligators are normalized. Love it here
Wesley Chapel is a small city near Tampa. There's honestly not much there besides a mall and a couple small outlets but that's honestly what makes it great. It's pretty quiet and out of the way, so it's easy to get to most places in Florida without too much trouble. Often times when I order something online the online store tries to put the zip code in Zephyrhills for reasons no one is quite clear on.
I am originally from a small suburb in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas. Here, we are all about hospitality and "tex-mex" food, a Texans take of Mexican food.
Brick, New Jersey which is right by Point Pleasant. There are a lot of things to do at the shore, such as going to the boardwalk, sit by the water in your car, coffee shops, the beach, and so much more. This is basically what is known as the Jersey Shore except it is not where the show, "Jersey Shore" was filmed. The show was actually filmed a few towns away in Seaside.
Old Bethpage is literally just like any other small town: mediocre football team, people that have lived in the same town for generations, and great specialty foods. Our specialty is bagels and pizza, classic to Long Island towns. I love my hometown because we have these awesome trails that span for miles and you can run, bike, skateboard, etc. on them. We're also located about fifteen minutes from multiple beaches, but they're nothing as nice as the beaches here in Tampa.
