....beeyuouteaful!.....Ko-kola huh?....Here is my hometown called Kokkola a small town on the West Coast in Finland.
This a winter picture from down town in Kokkola
Another picture from Kokkola
Our beautiful church during winter time. At this church we go every year at Christmas.
Another picture from my town.
Last large picture from the town of Kokkola.
Cool! Thank you- I missed that town on my drive through a few weeks ago.
I love Oberlin. It's quaint and liberal at the same time. Museum, coffee houses, lots of different cuisines, and amazing architecture. Definitely worth a look.
It is on my list. In fact, I have an app called Roadtrippers on my phone, and it is a pretty cool way to travel. You can publish your own trip with different local stop suggestions and such.
Toronto is a neat city. I also liked Quebec City and Montreal. One of the nice things about being stationed at Ft. Drum in upper New York was how close Canada was. We took advantage of it. Went to Kingston routinely.
I sort of know where Ft. Drum is ... maybe pics would give me a visual aid..... 
I come from a one four-way-stop-sign town called Tippecanoe (no Tyler, too, no, nothing). There's nothing there, not anymore. Not that there ever much was. A magnificent River, aye. Not much else. I call the place Oak Knob in my fiction. Heh.
Guess it was kinda boomin back in the eighties. We had two (count em) TWO filling stations, a restaurant, grocery, video store (blessed oasis for a burgeoning Muskie), hair salon, foundry, saw mill...now? The grocery still operates, and maybe about five or six independent 'chemists' (methmakers). Me? Oh, hell no, I don't live there anymore. Too urban for a rustic cat like me.

My church then and where I went to school from 1st to 6th grade. Upstairs.
We gather there for funerals and weddings after all these years. My mom's as well.
Seemed everyone worked for Boeing or Locomotive.
Then..
Saw this all the time, after I left there. My house backed up to a farm.
Now here, where I am, guess it's not too bad.

Yesss, I actually saw him, on the Walking Dead ! Thats how I know!
Oh but my son and his friends had a close encounter though they hung around the location for sooo long they had no charge on their devices ! They managed briefly to meet and greet as he was being whisked away into a black Suv, they had lots of Walking Dead goodies courtesy of the crew, necklaces, buttons, stickers, etc. I WISH I could tell you something entirely different about Norman, I could make something up, perhaps, something sweet and Deadly like how he mmm bit me, or something... 
I met him a couple of years ago at a comic convention in Belgium, he's a pretty cool guy.

Oh I like those stories too! I haven't heard that particularly, but that doesnt mean its not true. Oh far be it from me to denounce such cool stories! The cast have a reputation for being really friendly with locals and probably would engage in some off set fun. I bet they would!
It seems our entire police department are allready WITH the Walking Dead when they are filming , at every corner, where ever they go , but I have heard that, If locals show up to the filming locations looking frail and weak and near death, they greatly enhance their chances of getting to be an extra walker. and When you see DO NOT MOW signs its a dead giveaway (alert to stalkers) that the Walking Dear are coming!
The Walker stalker central location is about a 20 minute drive from my hometown, and is in Senoia which your friend may be nearer to, but they are ever expanding here and bring walking deadly excitement and stalkers.

We don't have anything in NH that even comes close to rivaling those Walking Dead stories. We do, however, claim this guy...
....and this guy lives here too....
