What American accent do you have?

This one was pretty accurate for me. Here’s what it said:

Result: Inland North

You may think you speak “Standard English straight out of the dictionary” but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like “Are you from Wisconsin?” or “Are you from Chicago?” Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

Eating Fresh

Living in a city like Lakewood, there’s always something progressive going on where the citizens are empowered to make positive change. One example is the Lakewood Earth and Food Community, LEAF.

LEAF does a number of interesting things from soil building to community gardening to nutrition education. They also sponsor local CSA’s, Community Supported Agriculture, programs in Lakewood. These programs bring fresh produce weekly from local farms right to the city.

Adam and I are participating in one this season and we’re pretty excited about it. Not only will it help us eat better, but we’ll get the thrill of trying out vegetables and fruit we may not have had before.
