Where is Monte Cook from? (Also, where are *you* from?)

I was born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, but I grew up in Richibucto, New-Brunswick, Canada. Richibucto was only a village when I was a kid but grew to the staggering size of 1500+ residents and so was elevated to the status of "town" when I was 10. Did anyone grow up in a smaller hometown?

I laugh when someone tells me they grew up in a small town of 20k, 30k or 40k.

Out of curiosity, where in Montreal? I'm currently living in Hampstead though I used to be in Cote des Neiges.

Vienna, Austria. Biggest city we have around here. Lots of tourists, UN personnel and other foreigners here. It's great. Very much history, too.

The place I was born, the place where I grew up, the 3 grade schools I attended, and the place I currently live are all within two miles of one another. Now THAT'S a small town.

Where I went to school (Cave City, Arkansas), the population was only 1600 or so. Batesville, the other town I lived near, today is still less than 10,000. Cave City got its first stop light last year. It caused quite a stir because of all the tickets handed out for people who just didn't pay attention to it.

My school contained the elementary and high school on the same campus. There was no middle school or junior high. At 7th grade, you were in "high school". Today, that's changed somewhat, as there is a middle school and junior high, but they're all still on the same campus. They've just added buildings.

I didn't know that about Monte, but SD seems like a great place to sit back and write.

Personally, I'm an army brat, so I'll go with where I was born.

My first three years and many vacations since: El Paso, Texas!

I can also afirm that it is true what they say, El Paso is a different state from Houston and the Eastern side of TX. All that sand years ago sperated the state and I guess the people too. Can't really pinpoint exactly what makes them different though, they just are....

And even though it was such a short time actually living there I will always consider myself a texas gal Hat, Boots, Rodeos, BBQ's and All.

Same basic place I live now.

A small town in Sweden with a population of about 3000, located near the 's' in "Uppsala":

I do have an 8 mbit connection though.

Grew up in Pine Bush, NY. About 1.5-2 hours north of New York City, used to be a tiny farm town, but now is full of people who commute to NYC for work. It's amazing to see how much it grows everytime I go home to visit my Mom. The fields and woods that I used to run and play in are now houses and lawns. Thankfully Mom isn't selling her 24 acres of woods, so there is still something there for me to walk in.
