Florida - Specifically North Western Florida.
Roots - Started out in Idaho (hence my nick), went to Arizona, then to Korea, and then to *shudders* Utah. After that I went to Turkey, and then to Georgia (loved Georgia!) Then back to Idaho, and onto Germany, and finally here in Florida.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They say we're clean, allz I know is that when Hollywood comes and shoots here, they add prop garbage to resemble a normal city.
Texas, the exact opposite of Ontario, we have to clean up to look believable.
I live in Ohio. I heard my neighbor is thinking of moving to another state, so it'll just be me soon...
ID: wow, very cool. You have been in an interesting variety of places.
nk_lion, Rhabbi, and Crikey: LOL thanks for the laughs.
Me- JERsey girl!!!!!!!!! giggles
Currently in Virginia... a few hours from DC.
Grew up though in Oklahoma... ready for this... a little town called "Hooker."
Used to have a website that started out with "It's a location not a vocation." And the American Legion Baseball team's mascot is... none other then...
The "Horny Toad."
*and people wonder why i'm the way i am.... lol*
I live five hours away from Toronto, going in the northern direction.
It is a small enough town, where you can't go anywhere without running into someone you know, but big enough to not know everyone's business.
I, too, live in Virginia, though a lot closer to DC (~30 minutes or so).
I've lived/visited tons of places, though, being a military brat AND loving to travel. And as soon as I can, I want to move and live near the ocean...I miss the beach!
Live in London, UK...but have lived in Hong Kong, India and Amsterdam for varying lengths of time. Now just waiting for Dark to finish her degree...then, who knows.
Well currently i am living in the West Midlands UK... but thats primarily because i am in the midst of a degree course at University... but tend to travel down to London to be with Pain as often as i can... certainly when i finish my course it is my intention to make my London location a more permanent thing... x
In Scania, the southernmost province of Sweden, and this is also the range where I was born. It's an hour's ride from Copenhagen by the sea bridge that came around in 2000 after an extremely long period of projects and gestation: I can see the bridge and its high pylons from my living-room windows.
new jersey here 10 mins from phila.
MrDom
I spent some time in Hong Kong and India too, where abouts in both places?Quote:

I'm in Seattle, in the US, where I was born and raised as well. I've lived in California for a couple years, and in Okinawa, Japan for a year as well.
I live in north Seattle, born and raised :)
Gisborne (pronounced /ˈgɪzban/) is a town located approximately 55 kilometres north of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. As it is close to Melbourne, but in attractive countryside, it is proving an increasingly popular place to settle. The town is named after Henry Fyshe Gisborne. Gisborne is part of the Shire of Macedon Ranges.
I live in northern California. Now most people including the weather stations think San Francisco is in northern California as opposed to Los Angeles which is in southern California. However, if you look at a map of California you will see that San Francisco is really only about the middle of California. I live about 100 miles south of the Oregon boarder in Arcata. We are known for the potency of our pot (not one of my vices) and our redwood trees. The surfing is excellent here too, but you have to wear a wet suit. Ozme is probably one of the few who will know where this is.
I grew up in the San Francisco bay area, but was born in Canada. However I have had relatives in North America since the 1600s. WARNING GENEALOGY BUFF SPOUTING OFF!!! My mothers maiden name was Van Meter. So my 8X great-grandfather, Jan Joosten, was probably from the town of Meteren in the Netherlands. He arrived in New Amsterdam (currently known as New York City) in 1662. My 6X great-grandfather settled in Old Fields, West Virginia and everyone since then up to and including my grandfather was born there. My great-grandfather took most of his family and homesteaded in Carrot River, Saskatchewan, Canada. Be thankful that my father was adopted so I can’t bore you with 10 generations of information about his family.
im just outside London in an overflow city that the council built for the capital. My closest neighbours are concrete cows and too many roundabouts.
far far too many roundabouts... no wonder you are crazy... :)
I live in the second biggest city in the UK. The one which is half the size but 4 times as disorganised and badly run as London... Any other West Midlanders want to say hi, feel free to do so!
Wisconsin now, but (in order) have lived in
Michigan, Maryland, Ohio, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, China, Thailand and here.
Wow this was started exactly a year ago *giggles*
My city is Calgary also known as "Cowtown" - Home of the Biggest Outdoor Show on Earth - The Calgary Stampede - the city goes all out for two weeks wearing all the cowboy gear one can possibly find. Companies all over put on free pancake breakfasts or BBQ lunches, some include fair rides and such for the kids. The Rodeo itself is quite a show and last year a friend bought me tickets for my birthday to go see it for the first time, it was a blast - Gotta love those sexxxy cowboys riding Bronc's hehehe
It offers more than the rodeo with a huge carnival, concerts and fireworks nightly as well.
If you're ever around here in the beginning of July, it's worth a trip :)

Chuckle... Old Fields... I know the place. North and east of where I grew up (but a mountain person would think of it as pretty much purely north, cause that's how the mountain ridges line up).Quote:

Started in WV, southern part. Left home at 17, went to Md. Then, the Navy, and, in order, FL, IL, WV, FL, NY (upstate), and VA. Now in VA near DC. Hope to go back to WV when it's time to grow old and die.
