Our neighborhood ends at a dead end and that dead end was actually a fenced off farmland area. There used to be cows and everything. One day they even escaped and there was one outside my bedroom window.
I don’t go very many places but there’s this bridge that we drive across that has lots of trees that look really pretty in the summertime
Just a two minutes walk from my house is a little spot down by the river. There's a large rock at the top of the hill thst people will sit at and take pictures, but I always like to go down the hill and sit on the river rocks. It's very pretty.
There's a nice big field near where I live, I went there to fly kites with my dad a few years ago and recommended it to my friend to scream
An abandoned archery clubhouse
There is this one place at a river where you can sit and lean on some old brick thing where that part of the river looks like a lake. Also has wonderful water swirls~

You do get weird looks from people going for a walk though.
The park in my town. It's a small town so it's usually empty, and it's on the edge next to a field, so being there alone near sunset is really peaceful.

There's also a library across the street, so I used to check out a book, go to the park and just read there for a while.
I don't remember the name of the mountain but it was a pretty secluded town where my mum used to live and there was a way near the top to get to an untouched part of the mountain that gave me peace of mind whenever I was there in the chaos of my family's situation
there’s a bridge nearby that has “squids don’t have ankles” spray painted on the bottom of it lmao
In my city, we have what’s known as “the bins” which has everything imaginable. Plenty of scrap fabric I’ve gotten from there
The recycling center I've gotten tons of free secondhand books from
There's an overpass that goes through the forest, and there's a nice trail that goes under it so the whole underside is covered in rly cool graffiti art. Further down the trail is sort of a clearing n theres a bunch of little "huts" ppl have made out of fallen branches structured around circles of trees. There's one in particular that has like a roof, benches, multiple doorways, and its big and has a tree in the middle so it feels almost like it has multiple rooms
The creek in the woods :3
behind our backyard there’s like 20 acres of just forretsey stuff and there’s even a pond there but we don’t own it so we can’t do anything or actually see the pond,,, but we know abt it bcs of google maps
Wait i forgot I live within a few blocks of a whole ass Zoo
I live within a bike ride of Detroit and we have some kinda cool things:

Fort Wayne: abandoned French fort that was never used that you can go explore, it’s apparently very haunted.

Belle isle aquarium: oldest aquarium in the us

Eastern Market: cool ass outdoor market with good, locally grown produce and a SHIT ton of murals.

Dia: art museum, they have this giant Diego Rivera mural that takes over a full room. Or at least that’s my favorite thing there.


And infinite cool little art places, Many people don’t know this but Detroit has a thriving art community
The park near where I live recently put up these big wooded statues of dogs! My favorite are the two that look like their givin each other a little smooch <3
The city next to the town I live in was a Roman city ( o.o)b. Don't want to say too much bc it kinda gives away too much about where I live. But yeah, got some Roman stuff all of 20 minutes away.
There’s this place several hours from me where a guy put up gigantic (and I mean gigantic) sculptures of sea monsters and dinosaurs and horses. It’s the coolest place.
