I cannot imagine why you want to know where everybody lives, but if it makes you happy I'll tell you my whereabouts and my reply makes the forum more international too: I live in a little village just 10 miles west of Amsterdam, in a "polder" which means land that used to be an inland sea and was made artificially dry about 150 years ago and is at least 20' below sea level. I never worry about inundations however since Schiphol airport is my neighbour and they will never allow the fourth largest airport in Europe to get inundated. And by the way I never go to Amsterdam, I don't like that city.

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

I live about 25 miles west of downtown Chicago in small suburb. The (former) Milwaukee Road's west line is two blocks south of me. METRA commuter trains to/from Chicago utilize the line (watching the parade of commuter trains during the evening rush hours is a blast), along with freight traffic. All this double-tracked stretch of line needs to be totally awesome is some Amtrak service thrown in! I'd always be trackside, taking pictures.
