My home town. Not at all Prius related.

Your videos were upside down for me.

A pity that the Adelaide view doesn't show the pigs in Rundle Mall. I love the way they catch the eye when you wander down the mall.

 

Great Idea Pat. I would love to see pics or videos of other peoples home towns. Can you beat Adelaide?

 

Thanks for not posting those particular pictures Pat ;-)

I've posted it before, but here's a snap of the farm - I don't live in town.




Ps. Those sheep are trained not to accept rides or candy from strangers, so don't even think about it Pat!

 

Good idea, Pat.

Vancouver's not necessarily a beautiful city, but it sure is a nice place to put one.

 

Yeah Adelaide looks nice. Happy Australia day to you too

I've already posted a small video of my town of Harrogate in the snow a couple weeks ago, so won't push it on you all again. I will say you should all pop over and check out my town and area if you're ever over this neck of the woods. There are two national parks within an hours drive (one to the north east, one to the west), the beautiful city of York 20 miles away and Fountains Abbey (check it on google earth) 15 miles to the north. You'll love them all and the Yorkshire people are renowned for their friendliness.

We have accomodation to meet all budgets from friendly guesthouses Bed And Breakfast B&B Guest Houses In Harrogate Yorkshire UK to rooms in Stately homes Goldsborough Hall, North Yorkshire - a wedding or corporate event venue fit for a Princess and a hotel voted the best in the UK! Rudding Park Hotel, Golf Club, Harrogate, Yorkshire, Conference, Wedding, Venue

So if you fancy a trip to the UK and Europe, be sure to pop along to Harrogate. And I know where you can find a Prius taxi and friendly driver

Mine is easy.. just watch the movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray. I can walk around that square with the cobblestone streets. The bowling alley is still there. The opera house (Hotel where his producer stayed and where he tried to hang himself) is still open with plays regularly. The railroad tracks that he drives on runs not even a quarter mile from my house.

And if anyone is interested, the Inn he stayed at is for sale...


Here are a few little tidbits:
The movie was filmed here because we have a very quaint, old-fashioned town square. If you visit Woodstock, you can not only see the actual town square and pavilion where the Groundhog Day festivities were filmed, but other outdoor scenes were filmed here as well. When Bill Murray stepped into the huge hole in the street, they actually had to remove bricks from the street to create the hole. When they repaired the street, the town put a plaque in the spot on the sidewalk that says "Bill Murray Stepped Here". Also, the scene where Bill Murray's character meets Ned Ryerson (the insurance salesman) was filmed here. There is a plaque on the building wall at the corner that says "Ned's Corner."

Woodstock residents are still celebrating, as evidenced by a February 2, 2000 news story in the Woodstock Independent bemoaning the search for a substitute groundhog for Woodstock Willie, their stand-in for Punxsutawney Phil. They wound up with Warner the Woodchuck, which somehow seems appropriate for a faux Groundhog Day celebration.
