I was born in Valley Stream in New York. One year after my birth my family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Later we moved to El Paso, Texas then to San Diego (district of Poway), California. My sister was born in California. All that moving in less than five years. Lived in California for a while, til 1988. Then we moved to Arizona. I don't plan on moving until after I graduate from college (in 4 or 5 years), I'll be restarting my education this coming summer.

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 feeling is gone, only you and I, this means nothing to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, this means nothing to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Viennaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Er, I was born at Madigan Army Hospital, Ft. Lewis, WA, then spent most of my life in Lakewood, WA, about three years in Bellevue, Nebraska thanks to Offutt AFB, then to Biloxi, Mississippi (Keesler AFB) and Columbus, Mississippi (Columbus AFB), and now Seattle. Finally.
 

I was born, raised, and still living in the world's oldest colony, Puerto Rico.

Not a special place to live, though. Can't wait to move somewhere else.
 

Born raised and live in London, England. Spent three years at Oxford while I was studying, but apart from that it's been north east london most of my life.

Worked in a few places outside London: Hatfield, Herts and Grays Thurrock.

My childhood was divided between Oklahoma, Corning NY, Indianola IA and Madison WI.
I grew up in Corning, N.Y. (Hey, Eric, when did you live there?) -- or at least that's what I tell people who ask nowadays. I really grew up in Lindley N.Y. on the Pennsylvania border. It's about five to ten miles from Corning.
Now I live in York, Pa., a slighlty backward town I have grown to love. The county, an area wracked by urban sprawl, has about 300,000 residents.

Born, raised, and still living in Elmira, NY. Not a bad place to live...not to big or too small. The Elmira area has about 90,000 inhabitants. It is a nice area, although I would prefer a milder winter season.
And I used to hang out in Elmira a lot too. The Arnot Mall, Eldridge Park, Comics for Collectors, Wegmans ... fond memories of them all.
Oh yeah, Go, Jackals!

Born and raised right here in Victoria, B.C...southern-most Canadian city (at least, I'm pretty sure...the Ontario dip might be a bit more south), and voted "most livable city in North America" something like 8 years running. I'd be willing to say that, if you like variety without extremes, it's got the best weather anywhere.

Umm... Victoria is the Southern-most western Canadian city. The Canada-US border from BC to Manitoba runs along the 49th parallel. Victoria dips a bit below that, to 48°25' N. Just about every major Canadian city in east of Manitoba is further south than Victoria, including Toronto (43°40'N), Montreal (45°30'N), Ottawa (45°25') and even Quebec City (46°49'N) and Saint John's NFLD (47°33').

The latititude and longitude of various North America cities

There are no big cities in central or eastern Canada anywhere near as far north as Calgary/Regina/Winnipeg/Vancouver, let alone Edmonton. The continental weather patterns of Canada tend to give us similar weather here though, even if we are further south. Where I live now (Ottawa) has virtually the same latitude as Venice, Italy (and Toronto is comparable in latitude to Marseilles, France)... you sure as heck couldn't tell from our weather. Moscow and Oslo are our kindred spirits when it comes to weather.
 

I'm an army brat like many others here. I was born in Quebec City and tend to think of Quebec City and Montreal as my "home towns" (I've lived in both twice and I'm ethnically Quebecois). I have also lived in CFB Borden (Ontario), CFB Kingston (Ontario) and in downtown Toronto.

I currently (and probably for a long time to come) live in our nation's capital: Ottawa, Ontario. Ambiance-wise, it reminds me a fair bit of Quebec City. Both are sleepy government towns.
 

South Florida. Didn't see snow 'til I was 32, and now I live in New England...

Born on Cape Canaveral (Dad worked for NASA contractors).
Raised in the Palm Beach/Ft. Lauderdale/Miami sprawl, where everyone was from somewhere else.
Schooled at Univ. of Florida in Gainesville.

Now living in Providence, Rhode Island.
 

I was born in Baltimore, MD, in a little neighborhood called Hampden. If you've ever heard of the Baltimore "hon," that's where it developed. I moved out to the county in 7th grade, and aside from college, I've lived there ever since.
