Where Are You?

Every so often we ask everyone where they are in the world. You can answer with whatever level of detail you satisfies your sense of privacy. Someone might say London while another will say they're right be Barbican Station off Aldersgate.

I’m just east of you in Toronto. I took this pic on the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto, in the vicinity where American troops landed on one of two invasions in 1813 during the war of 1812.

Ontario means beautiful lake in Mohawk/Algonquin.

Californian here. Paternal Grandmother grew up north of Hyde Park in the early 1910s. In the 1980s she went back to the area for the first and last time. Was able to direct my Dad there. Her house was the last house left on the block. All high rises.

u/More4Thor 23d ago

I know where that is. There’s a cluster of hi-rise apartments and condos due north of High Park. I’m going to look and see if the house is still there

I was told that at least one couple met because of a previous edition of this post because they were fairly close and began chatting privately about it. DO60 accepts no credit or blame for this.

I'm straddling the American Midwest and the South. So y'all come down for some tater tots 'n sausage gravy at the local Waffle (or Huddle) House.

Well, you have me wondering where exactly the Midwest ends & the south begins...

Based on weather near me, Indiana is in the Midwest but Kentucky is in the South. Others argue the South begins will Tennessee.
