Where are you from
New Jersey, born & raised on the Navesink River, now live on the coast up near Sandy Hook and in the mountains in Northwestern NJ, near PA.
I live in Wisconsin, south of Fond du Lac
I have been living in Harborcreek, PA for the past 22 years. It is on the shore of Lake Erie, on the eastern edge of the City of Erie, PA and about 10 miles from the N. Y. line.
Born on the corner of Nimitz Highway and River Street, an intersection on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Raised in upstate New York, and now I live in the sunshine state! And Marlis, Westin is great town in Florida!
I'm from Toronto, Canada, but now I live near Frankfurt am Main Germany. Frankfurt hosts one of the biggest book expos in the world every fall and the city is alive with words for a week. The rest of the time, it's all about banking and money. It's really, really boring 51 weeks of the year.
I was born in Calvert County Maryland - approximately 1 hour south of The White House. I have lived in St. Mary's County MD, Huntsville, AL, Cape Canaveral, FL, & Birmingham AL. But as of 2-1/2 years ago I now live in Dallas, TX - just north of the city.
Born in Boulder City, NV, grew up in Wisconsin (Cazenovia, Two Rivers, Mayville, Green Bay, Madison), spent 3 years in Montgomery, AL, then to Washington, DC, now in Charlottesville, VA.

Its always fun to see where everyone is from! Home for me was Minneapolis/St. Paul MN - 32 years. My husband was from Champaign Illinois. Now we live in Omaha Nebraska area, having arrived via 4 yrs in California, north of Santa Barbara, and 6 yrs in Great Falls Montana.
Waikiki. Husband and I retired here from Seattle to get away from rain all year, rain rain rain. Today for example it was 80. In December.

From Patty to Elaine: aloha from Oahu, I know where Nimitz is!

LauraT, since you mentioned Italy (I love Italy and have travelled there twice on long vacations) I checked your profile. I see you are from Perugia, which then made me go...OH Perugia! (yes, I'm from Washington State in the USA, home of Amanda Knox). Would love to hear your opinion of the case from a local point of view!
Are you really ready to hear it?In Perugia we are almost all certain that it was a "play" ended badly - sex, drugs, things like that were common in their house. The three involved are the ones who probably are connected with it - who actually murdered her I think no one will ever know!!! - but Meredith was not a "santarellina" as we say: she was part of that game whch no one immagined could go that bad.
But the trial was, I think, right: the "legal prooves" were non existant: nobody could be convicted with what the police had on hands.
The "sad" thing, or one of the sad thing in this hell of a confusion, is that only the black boy is now paying for everybody...

Another Canuck! I am originally from Fort St. John BC, now live in St. Catharines, Ontario - Home of the Book Depot which is a little piece of heaven especially when they have their box sales.

And Marlis..." I had the pleasure of visiting my birth place, again, about ten years ago on a vacation back there. I didn't know until then, that it was in the middle of china town.
Born and raised in New Jersey but went to college in Colorado which then caused a move to Washington State for many years and then back to Colorado! It's been quite the variety!

























So, where are you?
