Where have you lived in your life?

I am filling out some paperwork today and one of the questions is to list all the places I have lived. I got to thinking how interesting it might be if a thread were started where you list where you have lived, and I wonder if any of us have lived next to each other without even knowing it. This is no way in order because of all the times I have moved, I can't keep the sequence straight:

Oakland, California- Now these are all California-Westminster, Huntington Beach, Stanton, Anaheim Hills, San Diego, Highland,Garden Grove, Newport Beach, Balboa, Costa Mesa, San Juan Capistrano.

Colorado- Aurora

Alaska- Eagle River

Oregon- Willamette Valley hopefully I will only move one more time in my life, but who knows?

Columbia, Maryland
New Brunswick, New Jersey
Shaker Heights, Ohio

Christchurch, New Zealand
Wellington, New Zealand (2 years of college there)
Hendersonville, North Carolina
Soon to be Fairview, North Carolina

New Iberia, Louisiana
St. Louis, Missouri
Plains, Montana
Media/Wallingford, PA
Boston, MA
San Francisco, CA
Monterey, CA

Great thread idea!

Wow Kellye that is a long move. How did you deal with the culture shock when you got to NC?

Let's see... Born in Tucson, moved to Camp LeJeune (Jacksonville) NC, just before I turned 7. A year later, transferred to Camp Pendleton CA. Six months, after that, back to Tucson, while Daddy was in Vietnam. When he got home, we were shipped to San Diego, for three months and then to Pendleton, for 1 1/2 years. In May '69 - recruiting duty in Tucson. We kids stayed in Tucson, with my mom and stepfather.

In June '88, I moved to Tombstone. Jan. 1 2000, the ex and I moved to Bullhead City AZ. After our split I came home, in June 2001.

LOL Hissy....

hubby helped me with the culture shock....i still get shocked at some things i.e: NZ police dont carry guns, US do they scared me one time as me and hubby were in the bedroom on the phone and I came out into the living room and there was a girl sitting at the table - she wouldnt leave and got a knife out of the kitchen so i ran over the road and asked the neigbours to call the cops, they were there FAST and with guns - I know they were not there for me, but they scared me!
The US way of life is fast, its so fast that sometimes i cant keep up :LOL: Everyone drives fast, I am sitting in the car with my eyes covered most of the time, especially when an 18 wheeler goes past. They only drive at night in NZ. Time even goes fast here. Theres so many differences.

Born in Norwood, Massachusetts.

Good thread!:rainbow:

Hermon - Maine (more then once)
Cuyhoga Falls - Ohio (no residency, but spend weeks here often.)
Springfield - Virginia

I think that's semi in order.
I'm not done yet, there's lots of places I want to live, defeintly want to move out of this down in Maryland!

Krazy kat, why would ANYBODY go back, to Jacksonville, willingly? I didn't have any choice, at 7 y/o.

lol has ANYONE lived in the same home all of their life?
Or at least where they grew up with their rents, and then their own ONE home as an adult?

Kellye don't feel bad. After I lived in Alaska for 7 years, I went back to Southern California to visit family and friends. I got on the 405 freeway (something I had done my entire driving life) and got totally freaked at the fact that i had to do 85 mph or get run over! I pulled off the exchange and shook for a few minutes before I could continue on.

I have only lived in NJ! thats it!

I have always lived around Toronto, Ontario.

*The first 20 years of my life I lived with the family in Scarborough, just east of Toronto.

*Then spent 3 years in the university dorm & student housing in downtown Toronto.

*After school I rented for one year in the west end of Toronto.

*Then I purchased a condo in downtown Toronto and stayed there for 5 years.

*Now I live in a house, purchased last summer.

As you can tell, I'm very knowledgable about Toronto! If you are ever visiting, I can answer almost any question!

Lived in North Bay Ontario for five years
Moved to victoria for 10? years
Tried Toronto for three days (Never again!)
Lived in Calgary for 4 months (very cool)

I have, sorta. Columbia is where I lived from birth (coming home from hospital) until I was 22. New Brunswick is where I went to college. I moved to Cleveland in 1993 and have lived in the same apartment building the whole time. In 96 I moved to a larger apartment down the hall, and I'm still there.
