What States Are We From?

[Passport1]

Many have listed their states on profiles. Most have probably lived in more than one state. Demographics is an interesting topic. No personal info.

Grew up in and around Chicago. Moved to NC almost forty years ago. Wx, roads, cost of living here is better. I'd never move. Drivers are more considerate here also.

Where y'all from?

 

[Pablo]

CA born. Moved to OR. Then to WA. In WA have always lived north of Seattle (now well well outside), west of the Cascades (called the "wet side") - for 40 years plus now in WA. There is no escape.

 

[Pew]

IL my whole life, born/lived north side of Chicago then moved out into the suburbs around pre-school age and remained out in the suburbs.

My family mostly came from Philly and over the years moved to Pa and NJ suburbs.

 

[Bailes1992]

I was going to say - Permian basin??

Grew up in upstate New York. Living in exile in Washington State.

 

[racer12306]

Western NY until I was 13, been in Maryland since.

Demographics is interesting for sure.

@Zee09 and I have identified that we're practically around the corner from each other. It's funny, thousands of members in a country of a few hundred million and two people are that close to each other.

Born in Florida, grew up in a Louisiana swamp, Central Texas since 94.

 

[Number_35]

My childhood was spread across the four western Canadian provinces - in order, B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and back to B.C.

A friend from high school in B.C. studied here (Winnipeg) to get more in touch with his Mennonite roots, and wrote to me saying I should transfer out here to finish my degree. I had some good memories of Grades 1 to 3 here, and moved here "for a year" to finish school.

Put down some roots and stayed here. I like the big sky, and make the best of the cold winters.

State of permanent exhaustion.

Many of us live in that state as well.

I feel some affinity for that area, being an avid fan of Lisa Scottoline's (Philly) and Harlan Coben's (Jersey, but the NYC rather than Philly suburbs) novels. There are certainly some interesting place names.

Always enjoyed Scottline’s articles about her her day in/day out life in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

 

[redhat]

Western New York, in one of the Buffalo southtowns.

When ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN does the national news about Buffalo getting dumped on with snow and they report from Hamburg, Orchard Park, Lackawanna or East Aurora, NY… I’m 7-15 minutes away.

I think I’m close to a few on here.

 

[ChrisMU]

I live in Central Texas (Dripping Springs), on the eastern edge of the Hill Country. It’s about 20 miles west of Austin.

I grew up near I-94, just south of the Milwaukee suburbs… went to HS in Racine.
