Do you live in your hometown?

We'll be back there eventually though

Which state are you from? I've only been to two states so far NSW and Vic but I really need to go to Brissy!

Pretty much. I was born/raised in Memphis, TN and I now live in Bartlett, TN....it's literally just up the street from Memphis. It's all still in the same county too.

Nope. Born in Manchester, Connecticut. Moved to Rutland, Massachusetts when I was in 7th grade. Went to college in Rutland, Vermont, and now live in Concord, New Hampshire. Out of them all, I like New Hampshire and Vermont the best. I would love to move back to Vermont one day, but my fiance, who grew up in Vermont, doesn't want to.

I feel the same. I have "home people" instead

I had to move where the job was--common place with the academic life. I am currently about a six hour drive from my family. I would like to live within 3 to 4 hours of them (or even close I suppose.) I kind of wish my first job had taken me to a totaly different part of the country instead of just one state south of where I grew up.

I now live in a different hemisphere!

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and 3 years ago I emigrated to the United Kingdom

Born and raised in greater Phoenix area of Arizona ... Left at 17 and last visited at 18 ... I think I am 1100 miles away ... before landing here I was in Nebraska and Colorado

No I do not live where I grew up, however, most of my extended family still does. I originally moved for college.

By hometown, I will shorten the list and assume it is, where I grew for the longest period of time.

I grew up in Hooksett, NH and have since lived at:

- Wichita, KS
- San Antonio, TX
- Biloxi, MS
- Anchorage, AK
- Wichita, KS
- Washington, D.C

I was born in Hopatcong, New Jersey and lived there for the first 17 years of my life.

When I was 17½ or so, my parents moved to Kannapolis, North Carolina and I didn't have too much of a say in the matter. I had always planned on going back to New Jersey when I graduated the next year, but I ended up meeting Rob ~4 months before graduating and ended up moving in with him in South Carolina.

I'd give anything to move back to New Jersey and back to my hometown. It was so beautiful there

Unfortunately he's not as open about moving elsewhere as I am.

I live about 10 minutes from the area where I was raised. I had to go all the way out to Montana and back to West Virginia to learn there truly is NO place like home!

Oddly enough, 3 generations of my family live on the same street

Yes. I claim Knoxville as my hometown. We moved here when I was 7 and I stayed until I graduated high school. Then I spent 12 years away for school / the military / jobs in New York, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia. I moved back to Knoxville in 2003 and have been here ever since. I started on my Masters degree in 2005, so I'm fortunate that we not only have a place I can go back to school (UT), but several places I can (hopefully) get a job after I graduate.
