Exactly the kind of place you want to live and raise chillins. <br /><br />Incidentally, my hometown (Emporia, KS) had a big tornado that leveled half the town in 1990.

I am a city girl and this was not the CA I've always dreamed off. We moved there mostly because it was a "family town" and a you could get more space for way less money. A year later we are moving again to a bigger place and even though I have a choice to move to a bigger city I don't want to anymore. I never thought I would love this place but there is just something comforting about knowing most of my neighbors by name and the neighborhood that is mostly built for kids and families. Never thought I would say that.mrs.notouchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839832913532091394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-20761834348839353872010-03-22T11:00:56.652-05:002010-03-22T11:00:56.652-05:00That sounds like such a wonderful place to live! ...That sounds like such a wonderful place to live! <br /><br />I've always wanted to go to a Civil War reinactment.
