LOL......Action Park was one big disaster for the area.....Was so happy when it was sold. The park still sucks and its owned by Mountain Creek. More people got injured on that stupid cement Alpine slide and many lawsuits came form it. I live right across the valley from the park and in 40 years never visited the park and did not miss much. The owner of the park still owes my wife 3 grand from condo's she sold there when working for Coldwell Banker in the 80's....lol.
I remember going to the water park. it was so much fun. watch that documentary, it's good.
Upstate NY is glorious. I have spent a fair amount of time in Placid/Finger Lakes area and love it. It blows me away that blowdried city assholes love the Hamptons but not upstate.
Seen it already in the past but the park was best back in the 80's and 90's but with just about the same rides and attractions now gets nowhere near the visitors that Action Park did get in their heyday.
Shhhhh. Don't advertise. I don't want them around.
Since December I have been in the Allentown area at least once a month or more. Growing up it was always claimed how the KKK and folk are huge in that area and maybe it stemmed from those two skinhead brothers who killed their family a while back. Driving through the smaller towns along with Allentown felt fine. It seemed alright even at the hospital or the mall.
Finger lakes are great. Have a friend that lives on Keuka lake and my wife"s friend grew up there. Did about 15 years going to the Nascar races at Watkins Glen and that was a blast. Its a great area but I don't want to be there for the winter months. My friend on Keuka goes to Florida for a few months to escape the winters there. I live 5 minutes from the NY state border.
I'm a 45 min drive east of OK city, outside Shawnee. I moved here 2 yrs ago and absolutely love it. I'm far enough away from the bs, but can drive 10 mins and be in town. The old timers here say the only change they've see in the town of Shawnee is more homeless people walking around. There were 2 homeless guys that used to walk my road, but after they tried knocking on various doors, for a ride, had their asses handed to them and literally drug off the properties and left by the side of the road, for trespassing, they haven't walked the road since this past fall.

Target. Lmfao.
My parents lived on Keuka Lake for over 20 years. Me and Dad drove the track one day at Watkins Glen. 25 bucks and a pace car leads you around a few times.
depends on what you're looking at I guess.
I don't have to go anywhere near I-4 or the Disney area on a regular basis. I own my home so housing/rent prices dont effect me either. Around Orlando I feel like things are largely the same as they've always been. Traffic might be a little worse but nothing crazy, I don't feel like my cost of living has changed more compared to anywhere else, City government has always been a little left but nothing too crazy. The good and bad parts of town haven't really changed.

I'm about 20 minutes east of San Diego in Santee. It used to have the nickname Klantee. We moved here back in 2020 before things went stupid. There are a few homeless that walk around. They tend to disappear in the summer though. Overall I wouldn't say it's horrible. A little more traffic lately, but I think that has more to do with more people going back to work. And my commute is also affected by how many carriers we have pier side. I couldn't tell you about the schools though as my kids are grown. I did see something on the news yesterday about some students in a nearby city walking out of class because there were pride flags hung up.
This is true for a lot of blue states. The urban population tend to be liberal and a greater number that controls which way the state goes Politicly.

The violent crime is low here and crime is generally low.
The traffic is off the chart, has been bad and getting worse. I am between the DC/Baltimore/NOVA area and the beach. Transient traffic is insane year round now when it used to only be on weekends. GPS driving apps now load all the side roads so that getting around the major highways is as bad as being on them. The traffic brings its own issues outside of local issues and/or crimes. And the town has grown tremendously.
I am less happy living here than I used to be.

No S/H here. One byproduct of expensive housing is it keeps the riff-raff out. My community hasn't changed in 15 years and is one the very few Bay Area neighborhoods to consistently vote conservatively. We have a great volunteer fire dept that I'm part of and more livestock than people for a few miles in each direction. I don't lock the doors at night, and just use the screen door. I also have my choice of 6500 tech companies to work for that are constantly vying for top talent.
Currently on 2 acres, but about to buy the 4 acre lot next to me. Rental unit on the property allows me to live my best slum lord life.
R5 is stationed in my front yard.

Getting pretty crowded in Horry County.
Our little bedroom community of Cottage Grove is rapidly changing. Some of it is good (more restaurants, huge Amazon distribution facility going up, more community events) and some of it is not so great (tons of apartments and property taxes).
Schools are good, crime is low and we are close enough to Madison to do whatever we need to do in the city yet far enough away from the rough areas of Madison where the trash doesn't visit our village too often.

I am gonna take a guess and say Blanco but to be fair there are a few towns in that area that match that description. I grew up in that area and moved into San Antonio about 25 years ago. Just like most major cities its liberal policies are slowly ruining it. Most of the nicer places to live are on the northern outskirts which is where I am located. The problem is the city limits keep creeping outward forcing me to move further and further north.
Wish I could say Charleston, SC isn't one. I've been mentioning moving to my wife for the last few months. I've been pretty much from VA to San Diego and all between that on the coast. At this point inland seems to be more of the ticket to get away from Liberals/Crime/Democrats and I'll stop there.
