I'm from Western KY, but lived/ went to school in Lexington (Transy) for 5 years. I moved to KCMO last year though-- I never thought I would say this, but I do miss Kentucky. :)
I'm originally from Houston, TX! My husband and I moved out to Fresno, CA 6 months ago. Nothing much exciting going on in Fresno (it is known as the arm pit of California) but we are really close to Yosemite!
I live in Grand Rapids, Minnesota in senior housing. Moved there from rural Jacobson, MN. in March. 2011.
I am from Michigan, but live in Illinois...not an exciting place to live, except for Chicago. The rest of the place is covered in corn lol.
Currently I live in Memphis, TN but originally I amFrom a tiny little town in Mississippi called Arkabutla. Population probably less that a 1,000. Only real thing that people know the town for it our lake the arkabutla dam. It's so small we don't even have a school we have to drive to a neighboring town to go to school. While I was in high school I'm 26 now they closed the small
Bank branch that was located there and the reason was not enough business. Which I have always found humorous since it is such a small town what did they expect! It was a great town to grow up in since there was very little crime so you could go outside at night and the only thing you had to watch out for was the wildlife. My family had a huge farm there and we had lots of animals too.

I am also from a small Ontario town, I live "near" Timmins in a little place called South Porcupine (like the animal). Been living here for 3 and 1/2 years now!!
I'm from near Dallas, Oregon and have been living in Boise, Idaho for 5 years now... that is so not exciting compared to a lot of the posts :)

I'm currently living in Boston, MA. I have always lived in Massachusetts and will probably never leave (I do love it here!). If I do, though, I dream of living in the Southwest somewhere. :)

I am in Oregon. Originally from the Bay Area in California. Moved when I was in Middle School, but the rest of my family is still there in Cali.

I like it, especially the Autumn season. A lot of beautiful scenery and for the most part, warm days and cool nights.The perfect weather for a bonfire.
I'm originally from a small town of 300 people (yes, I meant to only have two zeros in that number) in South Dakota. I moved to Minneapolis, MN after high school and have lived the big city life ever since. I love going to SD to visit, but I'm definitely a city girl!
Seattle, Washington, USA! It is an amazing city. I absolutely love it here, especially the rain, but I really want to travel! I am dying to go to Australia and England!

Chris, I had a chance to visit Milwaukee a few years ago and I absolutely fell in love with the vibe in the city.
I live in Michigan, the southeast corridor, about 15 miles north of Detroit.
I too would like to add myself to the "I want to get to Oregon" party.
