I think it would be wonderful if any of the forum's members were actually living or have experience of living in a Trailer Park. It would be great to know if there really are people like Ricky or Bubbles, etc.

Please forgive me if this has been dealt with before.

living in a trailer park isnt very glamorous.. infact id be surprised if anyone actually admits they live in one

I can see one from my house and drink there every so often. Does that count?

But seriously, I lived in one 'back in the day'. Not so bad.

My mom lives in one right now and it's not that bad, it's more like a retirement community. We had a house when we were kids near one and I remember that one being more like "Sunnyvale"

I lived in one years ago for about a year and a half. It was a nice park, and still is to this day. Some trailers nowadays are as nice as houses

I've never lived in one, but I have partied in one; 'The Pines', quite a dodgy place, full of drunken college kids as tenants.

I have a nice scar on my left knee from a crazy night at the Pines. All that gravel and heels don't mix, I can tell you that. Lord, I was drunk.

Insert any redneck/ trailer joke here_____, and it probably would apply to the Pines.

You went to a trailer park party in heels?????

You could be Lucy's stunt double since you took the fall right?

ahh rebecca, the Pines. I thought my car got stolen from the pines once. Turns out we were on the wrong street.

SgtMeowsteen · « **Reply #8 on:** May 15, 2005, 03:28 PM »

I did that once too southernjen. I went out to my car to get a hairbrush and freaked out and called the cops. Then one of my friends stepped into the phone booth and said "ANGE ! I drove you here remember??!"

"oh yeah"
Man I was hammered on that Canadian Budweiser.

This was up at my cousin's trailer park by the Quebec/ New York state border.

My aunt used to live in the season 2 trailer park. Its very small and was on a street called sunnydale avenue. Not nearly as exciting as the show would lead one to believe. Not even very rednecky.

Lived them from age 3 until 8. Actually my best memories are from those places, more so than the damn farm my parents bought! Lots of kids, animals, and more playgrounds than you could shake a stick at. But the pipes on the trailer always froze in the winter and I remember my dad having to crawl under to defrost them with a blow torch...fuck....could you not see Ricky doing that....

I got an offer to buy a trailer for dirt cheap...I am thinking about buying it, selling the trailer, and building the house on the land, because the spot they have is out in the country, and it is fhackin sweet!!!! Nice place to start a family, have a dog named Cooter, and a Ferret named Billy-Ray...and I'd be able to BBQ on the patio, wearing only a KISS THE COOK apron...

I've never lived in one, but my Mum used to have a trailer she'd go to on weekends in a park up on Lake Erie, my grandma (who lives there all summer) and aunt (who goes up on weekends) both still have trailers in that park. It's a fairly boring park though, I always joke that if it were more like Sunnyvale, I'd visit more often. My uncle also had a trailer there at one time, but he was kicked out for fighting with the owner; he moved into another park a few kilometers away and was kicked out of that one as well for being too rowdy and fighting.

I've never lived in one but im thinkin about going to Halifax this year and go to Sunny Vale i think that would be cool to see where they film and every thing!

I live in a trailer park...actually met hubby as a result of TPB's. I was drunk on line in the old chatroom one night after the show, telling everybody to go f themselves...he apparently had a good sense of humor because we talked on messenger for hours and hours and hours...well you get the picture.
Long story short, he came out east on vacay, we met had a long distance relationship for about a year and a half, then I moved here in July...to a trailer park in northern Manitoba...from Dartmouth, just down the road in the Passage from where season 4 was filmed.

All in all its a pretty nice trailer park...not like Sunnyvale at all...now the other trailer park here in town...nasty! The lots are just wide enough for a trailer, barely any yards to park a car on blocks at all, but they manage to just the same!

Sounds like a nice place to live HB

my grandparents lived in one....it was for 55 or older...when i was a kid i wanted so bad to live there too...but i was too young....i just recently moved from a gated community that was mainly trailers...birch bay village...it was cool i lived in a 1976 single wide on a large lot...it was my united states of whatever.....Larry who lived next door allways looked after the place a reported anything funny going on to us when my honey and i were'nt home.....he just got a computer and we helped him figure out how to hook it up and get on the net....Larry and his wife were like aging hippies they collected beatles albums....the guards at the park entrance we allways referred to the gestapo...or natzi bitches...they looked it too

I started the night out at a bar, and then ended up in the park...but who am I kidding, I live in heels and probably would have gone that way anyway.

I should get paid for the falls I have taken over the years. Some real beauties!

How you walk in "heels" is just something i can't figure out !
They defy all laws of physics.

I guess they do look pretty neat , practical , no , neat looking yeah !

Just glad i don't have to wear em :-)

Ole Dirty · « **Reply #19 on:** May 15, 2005, 07:18 PM »

As long as you don't wear clear heels....(Listen to Chris Rock:Never Scared) "Ooooooo Gurllll....U Disgustin!!!!" Now, that's some funny shit!

kPurdy · « **Reply #20 on:** May 15, 2005, 09:08 PM »

a buddy of mine has a trailer he goes upto for the summer and some weekends and i went up to it a few weeks ago. everyone has a golfcart and drives it around. everytime i saw one i thought of bubs on his gocart. i spent the weekend drinking and smoking. Trailer Parks are lots of fun

southernbelle · « **Reply #21 on:** May 15, 2005, 09:19 PM »

Walking in heels is a fine art and I have pretty much mastered it.

This is sad, but I will go on and tell you folks this, and you probably won't care, but since you have asked...

I have tons of different shoes with varying degrees of heel heights. They are all nice and look lovely on, but some are just better for events that you are only standing around looking nice in. I have 5 pairs of heels that are my "drunk heels" because I am less likely to bust my ass in them. They have a thicker heel or an extra strap so that I can run, skip, hop or jump, basically do whatever my drunken heart desires.

Now you know how truly ridiculous I am.

I don't own any clear heels, either. Haven't really gotten into that porn star look oddly enough

There's a Trailer Park in my backyard....one time I took a cab home from the bar all fucked up I made em drive into the Trailer Park and then told them I had to run in and grab some money....that's when I ducked through the trailers and cut across the field to my place.

TPB is a bad influence....hahaaa, not really...I did this way before this season started. I just laughed when I seen the Boys ditch the cab like that.

SgtMeowsteen · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2005, 09:46 PM »

Hey, it's all good. Just a sister razzin' another sister on my end. I can't wear heels anymore. All the years of walking in sneakers on my route have turn my feet into double wide trailers.

I morphed !
