What state were you born in?

Or province or Country if you were born outside the U.S.

I was born in Michigan.

moved to Ontario Canada when 12yrs old
moved to Michigan 5 years ago.

if it's not Scottish, it's CRAP! ;)

San Antonio, to be precise. I'm a proud Texan.

South Plains. San Antonio rocks though!

Dallas.

:hi:

It took years for me to accept the fact that my parents had sex. :cry:

grace.



sorry couldn't resist

One of my co-workers, also a Nutmeg State native, informed me of this sad fact recently. Fortunately, Mrs. Bush and her offspring were long gone before my mother entered the hospital. Whew!

:hi:

born and raised on the midwest coast

I was born in the cute little town of Ripon, where my dad was teaching at Ripon College. Then he got drafted (this was 1943) and we left; my mom and I went to live with her parents on their farm just outside Palatine, Ill. I've lived in California most of my life. Got back to see Ripon with my adult eyes in the 1990's, and loved the town. How different my life would have been if I'd grown up there...

:hi:

have a cousin still in Palatine.

Maybe we're related! But I doubt it...lol Ripon is such a pretty town, IMHO. It made me so happy to visit my birthplace...And the farm outside Palatine was a real haven to me and my mom during WWII.

Drove through Ripon a few times(home of the National Forensics League. Isn't it also supposed to be home of the Republican Party?)

Palatine-cousin moved there from Kenosha about 8 years ago. She bought a townhouse there.

In fact, that building is right across the street from the house where my parents were living when I was born. I was kidding you about being related, lol!

I have lived in a few towns like that here in Missouri. Sooner or later, it seems like nearly everyone is related in some way or another.

Milwaukee. :hi:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

it was up in the "red" northern part of the state.....not the "blue" part....i'm jealous... :)

After all, you have no responsibility for where you were born! The important thing is that you WERE born, IMHO!

One of the few true blue natives of this state.

And still living here, for what it's worth...

Masshole here. But lived all around the country between my birth and now.

I know I've seen you around Massachusetts.:hi:

:P

and I'm still here

Also known as Paradise. Lived there most of my life but have spent the last 6+ years in the Bay Area of California which I also love.

This wonderful state is full of transplants from all over!

:hi:

Bronxville, to be precise.

Newark to be specific. I still have a soft spot for that disfavored state.

At Montclair Community Hospital, since closed.

halfway between Princeton and New Brunswick. My father worked for American Cyanamid until I was nine. Just went back recently and checked it out. Still there and pretty much the same.

There was a site in Bridgewater, but it's gone and there's a Minor League stadium there now.

and I suspect it hasn't been there in years.

Raised in Princeton.
Now in Lawrenceville.

Growing up I always wanted to live elsewhere. Now my parents and both brothers are in Maine with their with they families and I'm still here.

I guess there's just too much to do here!

If you ever saw the Chemico factory in New Brunswick, that's where my father worked. I liked the combination of dirty industrial sections with tree-lined Princeton University just up the road. There's a surprising amount of variety and beauty in NJ. Just no big cities.

And despite the complaints of New Yorkers, I like the fact that the Giants play in E. Rutherford.

Though I've lived in Brick (Ocean County) my whole life.

Of course, the way the area has changed, I couldn't AFFORD to live there now...

Orange County

And I'm still in this hellhole; though I guess that's nobody's fault but mine...

That's it.

:bounce:

turn this place into a smoking ruin.
;-)

Tyler (east Texas) and lived in Longview until I was 5, then we moved to Arlington (DFW area).

Again, it's a small world.

I used to love Pizza King. Best pizza in Texas. Also, Doc's Hot Links in Gilmer.

I'm going to go back to Texas in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to make a point to travel through Marshall so I can pick up son Pittsburg Hot Links.

:D

It is a small world. :hi:

Xenia

Their old house got destroyed in that big tornado back in the '70s or whenever it was. (Xenia, that is)

they all hit at once. Side by side-my mom has a unbelieveable picture from the newspaper.

Close 2 Xenia

Grew up near Bellefontaine. Tiny, tiny city. My mother still lives there, as do several siblings.

Born here and I'll most likely die here.

'ya gotta love it! :loveya: My home. I moved away ONCE, to Florida. :silly: BIGGEST mistake of my life. I literally came running back, and I'm NEVER leaving again. NEVER. They'll have to pry New York from my cold, dead hands! :mad:

Some things never change :+

My one and only true home.

Yo!

just northeast of OKC.

Born in the back of my father's pickup truck (it had a camper) while he drove to the hospital in Tulsa.

Moved here then as a little kid. A toddler practically.

:)

* This is a Bushism by the way.

My folks moved when I was very young, but I still have a fondness for wiscaansin :)

and I wouldn't have it any other way!

so, technically I'm not a "Maine-ah" I am what the locals call a "transplant". But, I have been here since I was a small child.

My dad was born in New Hampshire. I don't think he's any less of a Mainer for it. New Hampshire is not too different from Maine anyhow. He's been living in Maine for 36 years now, and he is going to be 56 this year. I even consider my mom to be a Mainer. She's lived in Maine just as long as my dad, but she's originally from Minnesota.

As for you, you moved from Michigan to Colorado, and look what you got! Michigan is a blue state with a Dem Governor and 2 Dem Senators, while Colorado has B.O.

:P

I lived there until I went away to college.

Southwest corner, Clinton County, just down from Greene County where the election funny business occurred.

A little (very little) humor from a fellow native buckeye!

don't you think that's a cute little riddle
round on the ends and high in the middle
you can find it on the map if you look high and low
whats round on the ends and high in the middle
O-H-I-O that's that riddle
round on the ends and high in the middle
O-HI-O

Montani semper libri......

<hangs head shamefully>

And that he's just a damnyankee imposter.

Dad was from Michigan, Mom from Ohio.
And here I am in NYC. My family moved here when I was 6 years old, so I really do consider myself a "New Yawker".
I have no idea how any of it happened. :silly:

Hoosier born and raised.

lived here my whole life

:hi:

I was born in Santa Monica, grew up in Huntington Beach. My Angels skunked your boys last night O8) -- but tonight we play in your yard . . .

And I'm still here :7

Right behind Croke Park on Clonfliffe Road

They found a body chopped up in the canal :scared:

The north side has always had its share of dodgy people.

Of Irish parents. Hence I'm 100% Irish. Clare and Tipperary.
My father graduated in medicine at UCD and did his residencies in London.
But I was "conceived" in Dublin. ;)

Grew up in Miami, Florida and now living in the Atlanta area.

El Dorado, Butler County, Kansas, to be precise.

Now how many people here pronounce it properly?

My parents were shopping at Sears in Santa Monica on a Friday night, when I decided to make my entrance to the world. My mom always said that my dad hit every bump in the road on the way to Good Samaritan.

And speaking of Angels, I have tix for seven games this season -- whoo-hoo!:bounce:

Now, clean that darn house! :toast:

I am envious. :| I am trying to get two lousy tickets to one game of their mid-week trip -- the ONLY trip -- to Baltimore this year. :pout:

I too was born in Santa Monica! But at St. John's.

Ain't that a kick in the patootie! Oh... might have been St. Luke's. Meh. One saint's pretty much the same as another. ("Well, really, saints are rather a bogus lot, aren't they?" as George Smiley used to say.)

:hi: and a :toast: to good old Santa Monica when regular people could afford to live there!

yes INDEED!

in Jena, Thuringa.

In a little town named Bönstadt. 25km north of Frankfurt.

:toast:

eom

n/t

Unlike the Pretzeldent, who claims this state as his.

I bleed Scarlett and Grey :D

Brooklyn!

I'm still there!:hi:

Been there. Done that. Ain't gonna do it again.
Besides, I can never remember how to spell Witchita.

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

And I ain't got a thing left to hawk.

(Remember this song?)

I go to school there - at least until next month!

kidnapped by my parents to Florida.

My grandmother had a house on Beechwood Boulevard. I think my young parents lived on Fernwald Road. I was born at the McGee Hospital which someone said is now the Women's McGee Hospital.

Are you at the University of Pittsburgh? Do they call it the Tower of Knowledge or something like that?

My mother went to school there, but didn't finish. She got pregnant with -- ME! That was when she was 18 years old -- so she had me at 19. I know she regretted not finishing. She wanted to be a journalist?

I think you're referring to the Cathedral of Learning. The hospital is now Magee-Women's Hospital. Beechwood Blvd. is beautiful - wide tree-lined street with gorgeous homes.

my mother was from McKeesport.

I did get to see my grandmother's home on Beechwood Boulevard (she had since moved to California). Is that in Squirrel Hill? I remember the beautiful trees on her street. I have vague memories of napping in an upstairs bedroom on fresh white sheets. Also, I locked myself in the bathroom and the firemen had to put up a ladder and get through a small windows to release the lock. I must have been only 2 1/2 or 3 years old.

I've been back to Pittsburgh -- once as a teenager, interested in radio, I toured Radio station KDKA. The person who showed me around was a young man named Merrill Pannett, as I recall. I went again much later, to my cousin's wedding (he and his brother have since moved to Philadelphia) in the early 1980's. And, I was a guest once on psychologist Sonia Friedman's TV show.

A funnny story -- when I had my talk radio show in Boston, a doctor called me and said he knew that my birthday was May 31st. Further, my mother knew his mother from Pittsburgh. I inquired how that happened. Apparently, he and I were born on the same day at the McGee Hospital! That was fun.

How many more years do you have at school? You said you'd only be there for a while longer. Where will you practice law?

Best of luck to you. I'd love to see Pittsburgh again, but don't have any more relatives there -- Last time I was there, I did get to see the "Golden Triangle" -- a far cry from the sooty, smoggy, coal-dust covered city I heard my parents talk about for years.

In peace, Radio Lady

I'm hoping somewhere

There's a rich millionaire . .

There's a pawn shop
On the corner
In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
And I walk up and down
'Neath the clock

(REPEAT)

But I ain't got a thing
Left to hock

If you should run in to
A golden-haired angel
And ask her tonight
For a date
She'll tell you somewhere
There's a rich millionaire
Whose calling again about eight.

Just a funny coincidence.

St. Catherine's Hospital in Kenosha, WI.

Chicago, to be exact....

RL

What part?

in New York Hospital on York Avenue.

I was born in Washington D.C. (District of Columbia). I am a woman without a state.

Poverty. However, if you're talking about a land mass, I suppose I can say with confidence that it was Massachusetts. :)

Anne Arundel County General Hospital in Annapolis MD

But I only lived there for 3 yrs.

and I never voted for Helms!

b Glasgow 1961

Specifically Ipswich in Suffolk. Moved to Derbyshire when I was 1, and then Yorkshire (God's own county), then came south to Buckinghamshire. My family is all good Yorkshire stock though, but I would find it very odd living outside the South East now.

i still live here.

try to get back as much as possible.

Good old Lincoln. I swear, I'm leaving...soon!

illinois is a state?

With equal parts liberal urban and suburban, and conservative rural. A blue state, with a strong Democratic stronghold.

of a travelin' show my momma used to dance for the money they'd throw, papa'd do what ever he could, preach a little gospel, sell a couple of bottles of Dr. Feelgood...



no really denver co

Hialeah, to be precise.

:)
