How about State, Country or County, Country.

I am in Jersey, Channel Islands, UK

Huntington, Texas (east Texas) Born in Indiana, raised in Florida. Been here longer than anywhere else.

Midland, TX. Oil country!

Pleasant Valley NY. Halfway between NYC and Albany

I live in Texas, North of Austin. I really like the JD Robb and Patterson Murder club.

It is! You get used to it. But, when I go on vacation and come home I'm taken away by the beauty!

I'm in Suffolk, England, and I absolutely love it :) I also spend half of my life in France, so I speak fluent French and plan to move there permanently some day. Nice to meet you all!

Boise, Idaho

I guess I have never answered this question. I was born in San Francisco, raised in San Diego and Anaheim, CA. Married and moved to Dayton, OH. (Oopsie, divorced that hushand) Married a 2nd time and moved to TN, Kansas City, MO, AL and am now just outside Tampa, FL.

We are hopefully going to move back to KC, as I simply miss my daughters tooooo much. I am a lousey empty nester. Now to get this house on the market and sold!

Spent most of my life in Indiana, recently moved to the San Juan islands off the coast of Washington, and I'm never leaving :)

OMG.........the wonderful raw oysters you can eat, Perri. The best I ever had!!!!!!

Near the city of Windsor in Ontario, Canada. We can boast that we are near the southernmost point of Canada. Pretty much as tropical as Canada can possibly get. We have Detroit, Michigan on the other side of the river but we don't have their crime rate.

I like the idea of raw oysters more than the reality. It's like you're eating the sea? When were you here?

Originally from Mexico City, Mexico. living in Boston, Massachusetts for the past 20yr.
Still hate the winters!

Always wanted to visit Boston. Go Bruins!!! :)

Born in Chicago. Have lived in Prague, Athens, St.Louis, San Francisco. Have been in Charlottesville, VA for nearly 10 years now. My kids consider themselves "Southern-ish."

Visited your town when I was in college. The difference between Detroit and Windsor is pretty stark :)

Kansas City is a seriously underrated place. I love it.

I'm dying to go to Alaska. One day...

What a great mix we have here :)

Yes, that's what I wanted to show the variety of nationalities.

It's great and interesting.

India ..... I am from just halfway across the world from you all.

Most people who go on a trip to Alaska have loved it.

Used to play hockey in Windsor. Preferred taking the bridge instead of the tunnel to get there.

I currently live in Northern Ireland, the land of my birth but I spent 42 years in and around Durban, South Africa, the country of my heart.

I live in a village with slightly strange name of Shelf, it's about five miles from Halifax in West Yorkshire and less than 2 miles from where I was born.

Agree!! Born and raised in Odessa, so I'm used to it. Until I travel away and have to come back :( We are looking to relocate in the next year or so. Hate when you comment on the smell and someone else always replies, "Smells like money!"

Sigh. Cannot wait. My husband and I dream of moving to the Pacific Northwest. Hopeful that with alot of hard work, we can manage it in the semi near future. What a beautiful part of the country.
