East Hampton

There might be some scenery, but the restaurants in East Hampton are so, so awful! It’s the first place I’ve ever lived where I can’t find a single place to eat in town.
It’s a town of about 15,000 but it has a feeling of being like a town of 1500. It’s a “tourist town” without anything to draw in tourists (outside of the people who have homes around the lake). It’s in the middle of no where and it’s a drive to get everywhere.
Most of the people are very unpleasant, as well, and have no idea how to park in parking lots, or use the town’s four-way stop. All the teenagers also seem to have a HUGE chip on their shoulders.
But that aside, I do enjoy driving by the lake and I like having a covered bridge in town. I also like jogging on the Airline Trail which is near my house.

yea. i’ve lived here most of my life. and hey, it’s not a terrible place to be. Everyone always wants to leave right after high school… and everyone misses it eventually. I read once.. [i apologize if this is not verbatim] “that perhaps a city is a living thing. Each city has its own personality, after all. Los Angeles is not Vienna. London is not Moscow. Each city is a collection of lives and buildings and it has its own personality. So if it has its own personality. It may have a soul.” I take East Hampton for what it is. An entity. Neither of us chose to be here. But why not take in the sights while we’re waiting?

East Hampton is a town on the move, constantly growing, but still keeping its small town charms. Most known for Lake Pocatapog (though I know I spelled that wrong!), its a very nice area. Its got a nice downtown area and plenty of places to visit.

My home town, where I’m from.
Grew up here, raised, and even stayed!
Nice lake, great for kayaking, wakeboarding, or landing a sea plane.
Good restaurants, still has small town feeling.

Just recently got a job in St. Croix, so this will be my first time away!
