Is there anything specific to your location that despite its being a main draw for your area you hate, or at least have no interest in?
For example I live in Florida and I actively hate palm trees, don’t like most seafood and have no interest in the beaches here whatsoever (despite having spent the first half of my life constantly on the beach, albeit on the other side of the country).
Here in southern Merrylande (specifically St. Mary’s county) two of the biggies are fishing and classic cars. Neither holds any appeal for me. I will spend much of Sunday at a classic car and motorcycle show because my spousal unit is showing his bike, but nothing about the event appeals to me in the slightest. I’ll probably take a book.
The OP is my example, too. Palm trees can burn, as far as I care, and I live in the official “City of Palms”. No shade (which is a HUGE thing down here) and the big-ass fronds can actually injure you when they fall and they can block traffic if they land in the street. Same with the beaches. Fun once a year. But if I want to read and tan, I can do it at the pool in my complex without dealing with traffic or the hassle of beach parking and tourists.
I like living in NJ, though oddly enough I hate how NJ [del]is losing[/del] has lost its identity and has devolved into “just another borough” of Manhattan*.
*yes I know only NY has boroughs. For now, at least…
I like living in NJ, but I hate what our governor has done to it (and stopped NJ from doing, effectively breaking the state).
I’d love to leave a trail of cannoli from Trenton on southward, then west across the Ben Franklin Bridge and then on southward again… all the way to His Masters along The Beltway. They can feed him… and make him dance on a ball spouting their talking points.
Once he’s gone, then maybe we can start rebuilding the state from the wreckage he left in his wake.
I live in the Colorado mountains. There are 4 world class ski resorts in the county that I reside. Vail and Loveland are close too.
Love living here but I hate skiing.
Well, I know of whom you’re speaking and I’m getting the hate, but can you explain to dense old me about the cannoli and “they” who are supposed to feed him and make him dance on a ball? Sorry, I’m honestly woefully ignorant about the specifics of the political scene there.
I like living in St. Paul, but I hate winter. And being around white people 24x7. And hunting. Mosquitoes, humidity, watching football, eating fried food on a stick… okay, maybe I don’t like it here that much.
I like living in Utah, though oddly enough I hate Mormons.*
I like living in Utah, though oddly enough I hate skiing and snowboarding.
I like living in Utah, though oddly enough I hate multi-level marketing.
I like living in Utah, though oddly enough I hate housewife blogs.
I like living in Utah, though oddly enough I hate the Great Salt Lake.
*I don’t really hate Mormons, I just chafe at some of our more theocratically-inspired laws.
I like living in Arizona, but I hate not having greenery. I miss all the trees and grass that just grows naturally without watering, like where I grew up. (But, I hate people who try to turn AZ into the midwest. Stop planing so many water-hogging plants. And golf courses!)
I liked living in Wisconsin, but I don’t like hunting. After the Packers, it seems to be the most popular activity. During deer season, everyone in church is wearing their blaze orange. And you dare not stray too far from your house during gun season, lest some dame FIBber mistake you for a deer and shoot you.
People come from all over the world to visit Cedar Point, but I’ve not yet in 36 years taken the 90-minute drive to go there. I didn’t go there for the day after prom either. The place is a point of pride for northeast Ohioans (even though it’s in northwest Ohio. We still like to claim it.)
Oh, “I don’t like roller coasters” is the answer.
I like living in the Cayman Islands, though oddly enough I hate turtle stew. It’s the national dish and I can’t stomach it.
I used to like living in Wisconsin, though oddly enough I hate bratwurst. That is something I would never admit to while living there. See Just Asking Question’s comments about hunting season and people wearing blaze orange.
I live in Memphis but could care less about Elvis and barbecue.
Pittsburgh. And I have little or no interest in the professional sports teams here even though I live within walking distance of PNC Park et al.
I love living in he little college town I’m in, in fact if it weren’t for the two colleges here, this would be another economically depressed place.
But I hate the college students.
I too hate whitey. Those racist, bigoted, evil crackers who want so bad to bring back slavery and interment camps. God I hate them so much.
I live in a place that is awesome but expensive as shit. Also our governor is a hippie-vegan-environmentalist who thinks we’d be better off if people didn’t exist and actively works to make life shittier for people.
I like living in N. Alabama (Huntsville area), though oddly enough I hate Alabama football.
Actually, I don’t mind the football that much, what I do hate is the wall-to-wall, year-round obsession with it, in the news and on the radio/local TV. If it’s not football season, it’s spring practice or recruiting or pre-season or bowl season…the state may be going into debt and have to cut services to tens of thousands of people if the Legislature doesn’t act, but hey! It’s Alabama vs Wisconson so let’s discuss that instead of the State’s problems.
Mind you, I’m from Ohio so I know something about big-name football, but it is absolutley ridiculous down here.
I like living in Nashville, but I don’t care for country music.
I love living in my state, but I hate the governor and am so glad there are term limits. Go away already you stupid bastard.
Oh boy, this is easy for me.
I like living in Columbus, though oddly enough I hate Ohio State.
I’m technically in a suburb, but I like everything about this area except for the thing that is most prevalent, which is the euphoria for all things Ohio State Buckeyes.
I live in Southern California but I hate traffic and hate driving. But not driving is even worse, so I put up with it.
Wait, what do you have against palm trees? They’re just trees, they stand there and don’t do anything to anyone
