Vancouver, BC
I must have missed this on the first pass.

Born in Fayetteville, Arkansas... childhood in Houghton, Michigan (home of the MTU Huskies!) Highschool in Calgary, Alberta and mostly rural northwestern British Columbia since then... "urban rush" now in Downtown Vancouver, BC.

What a lot of beautiful people... What a lot of beautiful places...
I am getting a wicked case of wanderlust!! I just want to HIT THE ROAD!!

Thanks for bumping this Dianne...

Bears, Wolves, Moose, Wild Cats......
are my neighbors up here in da nort woods ya der hey! My little piece of heaven on earth is near Duluth, Minnesota on the north shore of Lake Superior (not literally--up the road a bit) on 40 acres of wilderness. We have a little creek running through our land and enough natural xmas trees to last a life time. Originally from Racine, WI but have moved around a bit with some time spent in Garmisch, Germany (met hubby there, yeah baby!) then started wedded bliss in Bozeman, MT. Left my heart there big time in Big Sky country but happy to be here.

Diane, you're not a southern nut-you're a Georgia peach of course!

peace, emily

Oh, YEA, AND ALL THE WINE YOU CAN DRINK.

Buford, GA via the world!
Hey Diane!

We're practically neighbors! I live in laid-back Buford, GA--at least it was country when we moved there, but now it is the 'burbs. I love Georgia.

Originally I am from Liberia, West Africa, born of an American mother and a Danish father. Grew up in Liberia, went to high school in Denmark, went to college in Liberia, came to the U.S. for my Masters spending time in Tennessee and Wisconsin, married a Canadian whom I later divorced and arrived in North Georgia & married a local guy. Had triple citizenship, but opted finally for American. My parents came here in '92 and enjoyed Georgia, as well. Unfortunately, my father passed in '95 and my mother in '04.

I travelled a lot while growing up, but I've only felt really at home in Liberia and Georgia. It must be the red clay!

Hey Kirsten, we actually ARE neighbors!
My wife and I just bought a house in Sugar Hill, GA a few months ago. I live off of GA20 about 3mi from the dam at Lake Lanier. There seems to be a fair number of Georgians on here. I do own some California roots. Grew up a Navy brat. Born in Oakland, CA and spent good amount of my formative years in Lancaster, CA. GO DODGERS!!! Have lived in Florida, Virginia, and Mississippi as well. I've lived here long enough to adopt the thick southern drawl though and "Ya'll" is definately part of my vocabulary. I used to live in Snellville as did someone esle on here. I also saw someone from Hampton. My parents live on the southside of town and my father works for Henry Co. Sherriffs Department. What a small world!

Hawaii
Hi,

Kailua, Hawaii.....we love it!

Aloha,

Kathleen

A little bit of everywhere..I'm a mutt...
Born in Philadelphia stayed til I was about 7, moved to Bensalem PA and also split time in Willow Grove PA until I was about 19. Did a short stint in Reedy West Virginia (if you blink you would miss it) which is in the middle of Parkersburg and Charleston. I did some time in Denver, CO, and also New Baden, Ill, which is near East St. Louis. ok - so all of that was before I was 22!

Move to St. Petersburg Fla and stayed there for about 16 years before moving here...Woodbury Minnesota. Cold, cold Minnesota. Oh, the things we do for love....and if I let him have it his way, he will have me living in Minot, ND, where I can freeze forever!

I have only been back to PA about 3 times in the past 20 years, am going back next month for my 30th HS reunion and to spend Thanksgiving with my family, who I miss bunches (and I've got tickets to a Flyers game!)! Am going to have them gang up on Nick. well, I don't actually miss PA all that much, but I do miss them. And I have to admit, Minnesota is a gorgeous state - in the SUMMER! haha...

Am so jealous of you Kathleen in Hawaii, and Kathryn in MN with a spot in Mexico, and the rest of you who live in all those warm places! Not sure if I could handle the St. Pete summers anymore, but I really don't like 9 months of snow and cold! And I so miss the beach..

Hey Phil - I happen to still say "yous guys" at times!

Good idea Diane.

Honolulu, Hawaii
Born and raised on the island.
Great post!

Zanesville Ohio. I live
Zanesville Ohio. I live outside of town on the old national trail. Zane Grey was from Zanesville, hence the name. Famous for the Y bridge that is downtown also. Our area is mostly rural, the towns small, very little industry or work available for that matter. The state capital is about an hour away.

wow - small world!
My grandma lives in Zanesville (Frazeysburg, actually). My parents live east of Columbus in Newark.
