Hello all,
I thought this might be fun.
You don't have to give the exact address, just locate your city on google map and post the link. (upper right corner on google maps where it says "LINK")
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Benjamin,+TX&daddr=Benjamin,+TX&geocode=&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=33.26625,-99.492187&sspn=8.831016,14.150391&ie=UTF8&ll=33.583878,-99.783325&spn=0.064639,0.11055&t=h&z=13
*Zoom in or out using the scroll wheel on your mouse.
I am finishing my year in Benjamin, Texas. It is a Title 1, low income school.
Texas has loan forgiveness if you teach at Title 1 schools.
Benjamin is the smallest place I have ever lived, only about 200 people.
There is only a small store and a gas station in the town.
The closest ATM is 15 miles away and the closest movie theater is about 80 miles away. I am truly in the middle of nowhere.
So...where in the world are you? |

It's a cool idea, but I had the stalker trip once already 
I'll enjoy checking out your locations (and promise not to stalk anyone, no matter how cool your location!). |

I love it how the first person to refuse to share her address is the woman teaching in Turkey. They learn quick here.  |

| Camping out by the crick, clothes hanging off the bushes, a tin of pork and beans on hot coals, with half bottle of thunderbird and a few butts I picked up at the train station. |

You sound like that John Hartford song: Gentle on My Mind! |
