Where are you from?

I was born in New York City, in he borough of Manhattan, with a "home" address in the borough of the Bronx. I was raised in Illinios and Virginia. I now reside in Hilliard, Ohio, which is just to the northwest of Columbus, the state capital, in the center of the state.

(Psssst--Wilso, was that specific enough?)

okbye

Excellent.

I was born in Sydney.

A little ditty (sea chanty, actually) for Our Miss Lowan:

In South Australia i was born
Heave away, Haul away
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia . . .

I'm originally from Seattle. I went to high school outside of Chicago, and college in the Denver area. Our three kids were born in Texas, and for the past 11 years I've worked here in Saudi.

I was born in Texas near San Angelo, was raised for ten years in the vicinities in and around Fresno and San Jose, California. Returned to Texas - Corpus Christi - Lived variously in Brooklyn, Kansas City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Long Beach (California). Currently live in the Houston area.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York (cantcha tell ? ). Lived most of my married life on Long Island, and now live near Tampa, Florida.

I was born, raised & reside in the north of England, apart from 3 years at university in Scotland.

Born bought up in North India - now a citizen of the world (currently in London) !!

Toronto, born and raised. I was searching for a song about Toronto, but seeing as how the rest of the country hates us, I didn't have much luck.

Cav...I've been to Toronto, and it seems more American than any city in Canada I've seen. Is this my imagination?

I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. Right in the middle of the state. Great plains, red clay soil, lots of wind. Have also lived in Ventura, California...Cleveland,Ohio...and Dallas, Texas.

Now live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I have been for more than 20 years. Intend to stay here. Green rolling hills, lots of lakes and rivers, clean, pretty city with a metro area of about 750,000.

Eva, Toronto has a complex....it wants to be New York, but doesn't have enough money. Go to Montreal one day, it is much more fun.

Wow. The culture shock must have been rough.


I was born in Oakland, California, USA.


Raised in Sonora, California, USA.


Went to school in Santa Cruz, California, USA.

(Setanta, I have some q's for you about Columbus neighborhoods. I'm finding amazing houses for good prices but dunno about the neighborhoods they're in.)

Just for Cav...
The Toronto Song, by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie

I hate the SkyDome and the CN Tower too;
I hate Nathan Philips Square and the Ontario Zoo!
The rent's too high,
The air's unclean,
The beaches are dirty,
And the people are mean!
And the women are big and the men are dumb
And the children are loopy 'cause they live in a slum!
The water is polluted and the mayor's a dork!
They dress real bad and they think they're New York...
In Toronto . . . !
Ontario . . . oh-oh!
"You know . . . now that I think about it, I pretty much hate all of Ontario!"
"Yeah! Me too!"
I hate Thunder Bay and Ottawa,
Kitchener, Windsor, and Oshawa!
London sucks and the Great Lakes suck,
And Sarnia sucks and Turkey Point sucks!
I took a trip to Ontario to visit Brian Mulroney!
He beat me up and he stole my pants
And he put me in a tree!
I went to see the Maple Leafs
And got hit in the head with a puck.
"Uh I don't even know how they did it . . . I mean, I was playin' the organ at the time!"(And Alan Thicke sucks!)
Ontario . . . oh-oh-oh sucks.
"Come to think of it, I pretty much hate every gosh darn province and territory in our country!"
"Well except Alberta!"
"Oh yeah, of course I love Alberta! Lot's of cows, rocks, trees and dirt . . . mmmmoo moo moo!"
But . . . I hate Newfoundland 'cause they talk so weird
And Prince Edward Island is . . . too small.
Nova Scotia's dumb 'cause it's the name of a bank;
New Brunswick doesn't have a good mall!
Quebec is revolting and it makes me mad!
Ontario sucks . . . Ontario sucks.
"Manitoba's population density is 1.9 people per square kilometre! Isn't that stupid?!"
Saskatchewan is boring and the people are old!
And as for the territories . . .
They're too cold!
"And the only really good thing about the province of British Columbia is that it's right next to us!"
'Cause Alberta . . . a-a
Doesn't suck!
But Calgary does . . . !

I come from Canada, the really big country, usually pink on the maps, one of the three in north america, right above the united states, just below the artic circle, between the atlantic and the pacific oceans. I was born in raised in Alberta, as you may have guessed. Albeta is bordered by the magnificient rockies to the west and the great northern praires to the east. I live smack dab in the middle of the province in a city called Edmonton. I have lived in British Columbia, next province over, on the coast and interior - Kelowna, and in la belle province, Quebec.
Thanks for asking,

That was the song I was looking for....but they shouldn't knock our zoo.
