I was bored, so out of curiosity I was just looking to see what kind of youtubes I could find of my neighborhoods/towns that can give an idea of what the area is like that I live/lived in. I was wondering if anybody would like to post some of theirs they find because ...well like I said I'm just bored.
If you live in a a big city of a few hundred thousand or a few million people, obviously there's going to be a youtube of your whole city, but I'm looking for something for more personal and specific.

For example I lived in Chicago for a few years and up till 2008, and this is the neighborhood I lived in:

This was the next neighborhhod over, less than 2 miles away, so I was there pretty much everyday:

Hmm, here's a video I found of someone filming a bus route that passes right through my neighbourhood in Hong Kong. (I actually used to go on that same bus)

No longer live in the city, moved out to the far suburbs where it's more boring but it has some more of the scenic areas of the Chicago burbs (Illinois isn't exactly known for it's scenic beauty. Outside of Chicago area the whole state is pretty much one big flat farm)..

video of a lake I found that's about 4 minutes away from my house by car

Tram ride that passes through a street near my house...unfortunately they skipped the stop that is literally 2 minutes walking distance from where I live D:.

Warsaw, Młynarska Street...

Welcome to Helsinki, the biggest city in Finland; it's a forest..
It's a video of some guy bicycling through the area where I live, and he spends most of the video in areas I constantly roam in. He even visits a store I sometimes shop at.

/edit: heyoo

The closest i could find to where I am living now:

By the way, this is where I grew up:

Somebody made a homemade documentary about the Osterräderlauf (Easter Wheel Run) in my home town of Lügde...

I grew up barely five minutes from that first shot where they're transporting the hay, although that doesn't say a lot - you can walk at a leisurely pace from one end of Lügde to another in less than an hour.

I've lived in a village near Lübeck though for the past few years and we're moving to Lübeck itself next month.

So, I've picked two rather interesting clips.

So, this were I come from. The area I still call "home", the Hunsrück!

I couldn't even excactly say where the areas were, because it looks like this everywhere up there.

Now I live and work in Mainz:

This awesome music vid ;-P, apart from being artistically highly valuable, errm, also shows the way I walk to work and shows some areas in my direct sorroundings.

The area is currently being "upgraded" as students and young families move in and the lower middle class and immigrant families are pushed further in the suburbs.

I filmed this from my house for god knows what reason last year;

Yes that is a spaceship you hear in the background.

Wouldn't have expected it, but some guy filmed his drive through the city and drives right past my neighborhood, our house is on the other side of the houses on the right at 1:57.

My hometown of Turku with a shot of the street I live in included: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnhdIovAL_c

Here's a totally authentic tourism video about my home town.

It is a bit worrying when the top comment is about the dangers of living here...
