    I thought this might be a fun way to get to know a little bit about each other!

    I grew up in Los Angeles, and I live in Manhattan now.  Your turn!

    I was born in Spokane, Wa.  Spent 9 years in the Seattle Area.  Then Mobile, Alabama.  Now, I live in Columbus, Ga.  Ok, well, I actually live in Phenix City Alabama, but it's just across the river from Columbus.

    You're in Phenix City, crabcake? Man, I used to hate having to go down there to our away football games in high school, because the drive was SOOO long!

    Fun board! :) I grew up in rural NE PA and now live in Manhattan.  I like to think I have a healthy appreciation for both the country and city.

    MyFavorite    June 2009   Springfield, MO

    Always a Missouri girl.  I thought I found my dream job in Iowa the other day, but fiance put a stop to that! (I don't think I could have gone through with it anyway!)  I guess I'll hang out around here awhile longer; I sometimes envy those with fabulous city lives!

    Grew up in San Jose, CA...moved around the city various times, once to San Martin, CA, then back again to SJ.  Right before I got married I lived in Santa Clara, CA...and for now back in SJ, but will be back in Santa Clara soon.  For those who aren't local...it's like a big circle because it's all relatively close.

    cindylouwho    October10, 2010   Jersey Shore, New Jersey

    Born in New Jersey, moved to Upstate New York (5-16 years old), then moved back to New Jersey.  I like it here-7 blocks from the beach, an hour from the City.  I sometimes miss the peace and quiet of the country, but I have the ocean in my blood now, so no going back.

    I grew up in Northern California, but live in Seattle now.  We're not sure what our next move is going to be, but we'll either move to the Intermountain West or back to California when we're done here.

    I'm a NJ girl...grew up on the Shore :)  But now I live in Boston.  And my entire family has transplanted elsewhere...so my ties to NJ are minimal.  Except the call to the ocean...

    I grew up in the Philly area, then fell in love with Boston, where I moved for college and still live now (I just graduated from college five months ago).  Having grown up in the Northeast, I am sick to death of winter and would like to move someplace a little warmer in a few years, preferably San Francisco.
