[derelictjay]

A small town of just a little less than 300,000 people called Corpus Christi, in the south part of Texas. What you don't think 300,000 is a small town, you've never lived in Corpus Christi . Of course I'm still currently living here.

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....

Well I can agree with this, but my directions south. Of course Texas can legally spilt up into 5 different states, so what you say makes since.

That's a myth actually; the right was rescinded after the Civil War.

I grew up in Texas, and that's probably always gonna be home to me. Currently going on five years in Detroit, which never will be no matter how long I end up living here.

I grew up on a farm 5 miles NE of the hamlet of MacGregor, Manitoba Canada. Population 800, churches 6, retirement homes 3, bars 2, funeral homes 1. Despite the small size the town has a decent hockey/curling rink and a 9-hole golf course (owned by a combo establishment of gas bar/restaurant/lounge/motel/car wash/movie rental store). There's an elementary school and a highschool (separate buildings). In the high school additional grade 9 students are bused in from a nearby smaller hamlet that only has an elementary school. It's basically an idealic little hick town that time has somewhat forgotten. I had both good times and bad there, but since my grandma died and most of my friends moved away (as did I), I have very little interest in going back there. I find myself feeling rather claustrophobic (sp?) in any city smaller than the one I live in now (Winnipeg, Manitoba, population around 670 000).

My childhood was divided between Oklahoma, Corning NY, Indianola IA and Madison WI. I spent my early adulthood in West Point NY (very, very briefly), Kankakee IL, and back in Madison where I typically moved 2 times per year until I was done with college. And I've been in Madison ever since, with no desire to move (except on cold days like today)!

 

[Wombat]

Born in San Francisco, CA just a few hours after Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens & The Big Bopper died.

Raised primarily in Santa Rosa, about an hour north of there.

Live in Plymouth, NH, Isla Vista/Goleta/Santa Barbara, CA, and now up in Concord, CA.

I always count myself as having lived in three states, because southern CA is so different from the north

 

[kenobi65]

Born in San Jose, CA, but only lived there for three months, so my memories of the place are a bit fuzzy.

Lived in suburban Chicago until my 10th birthday, when we moved to Green Bay, WI. (Gooooo Paaaaack Gooooo!)

Went to college in Madison, WI, then moved back to suburban Chicago after getting my master's degree (because this was where the jobs were, and are).

So, despite living in Illinois for 25 of my 39 years, I think of myself as a cheesehead. Go figure.

 

[reveal]

Air Force brat and Ex-Air Force Airman.

Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Parents from Montgomery, Alabama and all my relatives live there, except for 2 who live in California and Florida, so I always consider myself "Southern Born and Bred."

Lived in North Carolina (Fayetteville), Alabama (Montgomery), Ohio (Dayton), Philippines (Manila; Attended ECLC through 2nd grade, moved, came back during 10th grade and graduated), Georgia (Valdosta), Florida (Shalimar/Ft. Walton Beach), California (Vacaville), Northern Virginia (Burke; near Washington DC), Alaska (Anchorage), Nebraska (Omaha), Iowa (Council Bluffs).

I currently live in Council Bluffs, Iowa, right across the Missouri river from Omaha, Nebraska. Looking to move to Atlanta, Georgia in the next 5 years.

 

[Raging Epistaxis]

Born and raised in Decatur, IL* a smallish town of 90,000 in the geographical center of the state. After graduation from UofI CVM in '94 moved to Knoxville, TN where I reside to this day.

*Does anyone remember/ever been to the Judge's Guild store when it was there in the late 70's/early 80's? I bet Diaglo would have loved it.

 

[Ferret]

Born and bred in Bristol. Grew up mainly in a place called Willsbridge, small place. We then moved to Devon, first Axminster then to Seaton, which is close to the sea!


Axminster gets a mention in Notes from a Small Island.
