Home Towns

I was born in Chicago, I've lived lotsa places, across 3 different continents, travelled all over the planet (except Antarctica) and visited lotsa places I can't say I lived in - just passing through, more or less. I like the rural corner of the upper Midwest US where I live now. I like it well enough that I figure on prety much staying here untill I get boxed up and stored away.

I was born in Joliett, Illinois. Lived in more states than I can name right now. Currently am in Louisiana and have been since 1989. I love the weather in the south!

I think out of all the places I have been in the US i find Texas being about the one I would like to live in the most. Though i have yet to visit Alaska and Washington State. Both states that i have thought about moving to before I joined the militiary

If you move to Washington State, don't move to Seattle! They have the highest suicide rate in the country due to the weather. Rains more often than not! I hated it!

I happen to love the rain, and i have a crap load of friends that live there.... next jones town maybe? hmm...

Okay, if you love the rain, you will love Seattle!

hot diggity dog! sounds like we have a winner... though i might change my mind when i hopefully visit the land down under this summer on R & R

Now that is a place I would love to visit. Bring me back a koala, will ya?

i'll see what i can do.. i may know someone

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol take it easy... im not promising anything...

I know. Just to get someone to say they'd try! I love koala bears. I know I'll never have a real one but a girl can dream, can't she?

this is true, and i am not one to stand infront of someones dreams

Did I read in another thread you are in the military? Army? Marine? Which?

I's born in New Brunswick, NJ. Haven't lived there since I was 5. So I have no hankering for it or even much of a memory of it.

Spent ages 5 - 10 in King of Prussia, PA and have a lot more memories of that. I liked it and Philly and even went to Law School in Delaware to get closer to the area, for a while. Not to stay, just to experience it again. Actually, if I didn't need warm weather (and maybe I won't), I would retire to Wilmington, DE as it's cheap, pretty and close to a lot of things.

But it's Boston that I love, and I mean love. As in, I can look at a Big Dig-style traffic snarl and still think it's wonderful. Yes, I'm a freak.

Born and raised here in Chicago with no plans of leaving. I can't even bring myself to move to the suburbs even though I could have a three bedroom house for the price of my condo.

BTW good to see ya back Seed.

Born in a don't-blink-else-you-will-miss-it town called Miles, 17 miles from the county seat of Ballinger in one direction, 17 miles from San Angelo in the other. Grew up shuttling homes between Fresno and San Jose, California, now a resident of Tomball, in the Houston area. Liked Fresno the best, but the job market brought me to Houston, where I will probably remain forever.

Born in Wichita, Kansas. Grew up in Decatur, Alabama. Lived most my life in Moore/Midwest City, Oklahoma, but I've held residences in CA, TN, NV, NM and FL.

I don't remember Wichita for the life of me; Alabama was the perfect childhood but the quaint little street that used to give me the warmest feeling in the world has now disintegrated over the years. Out of all the states I've ever lived in, there are only two I'd ever return to - and I'm not sure if I'd ever do so permanently: Tennessee and New Mexico. One for the lush green grass and trees, the water and the people. The other for the feeling of health and life-force from the sun, and the beauty of the southwest.

Alas, a gypsy at heart I'm bound to travel more in my lifetime. I wonder if I'll ever find a place where I can truly call "home."
