I currently live somewhere around Via Del Rey and Camino Verde, South Pasadena. There are plenty of private tennis courts in this area. Before this I lived on Orange Grove Blvd, Pasadena, the place where they park the Rose Parade floats over night before the parade, and now I miss the parade and the retired people there. :D

In case you don't know what Rose Parade is about, watch it on TV New Year morning every year, but the real fun starts like the night before 1/1/XXXX.

I am from a little place called Pudsey in Leeds, England. Lovely little place and we have a Charity Bear named after us called Pudsey Bear. Which is the biggest charity event we have. Aside from that not a lot here, we used to be an old wool mill town.

No South Africa though lol.

I live in Charleston, South Carolina. Lots of history here. We have some of the oldest churches, forts and mansions in the US. The first shots of the US Civil War were fired from Fort Sumpter.

Lots of nice beaches. I have a boat and we are always out exploring small islands off the coast. Lots of excellent restaurants.

Anyone who is looking for a nice vacation spot on the east coast of the US should consider coming to Charleston, South Carolina. Look me up, I'll be glad to share some southern hospitality!
