I am not really a radio listener. I do listen when I ride with my husband...

I only listen to it in the car, my husband got a new car a couple weeks ago, I think the papers
said that it has Sirius satellite radio...but I am not sure if he activated it, or just does local channels.
We live really close to every thing, so we are usually in the car only 5-10 min. at a go.

My favorite is oldies....like 60's, 70's, 80's music.

What is the best thing or a couple of things you like about living where you live? - Stores, variety of places to eat, quiet, clean,
Something you don't like about it? - Regarding the city - crime in general but I live in a good area.
Strangers asking me for money happens all too often. Traffic can be a nightmare (not in my neighborhood) but I have yet to experience that since I moved here this past September.
What has winter been like in your area? - Milder than usual. We only had about a half inch of snow all winter which is unusual.
Foodie:
What was one of the last sweet treats you had that you really enjoyed? - Chocolate covered raisins bought from a merchant at a Dutch Farmers Market.
On the radio...
When was the last time you listened to AM radio? - Yesterday and every time I am in my car. My favorite radio station is at 1370 on the dial, WQLL. They advertise hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s and "hit after hit, after hit, after hit...".
I don't like everything they play and they probably need to expand their playlist a little but they will due...
How about FM radio? - Not as often as above.
Do you listen to satellite radio? - No
If so for any of the above what programming / genre do you listen to the most? - Rock and Top 40 from long ago.
Thanks a bunch for the responses!
