At this time of the year I start thinking about my old hometown a lot...how I'd look forward to snow days and no school, shovelling my neighbors sidewalk (they were an elderly couple) and them having me in for some hot chocolate and home made cookies, building forts in the snow and having snowball fights with the kids...I always lost, all my neighbors were boys and I sucked at packing a snowball. I really feel the difference of moving away from home at this time of the year...especially with the climate being so different. But since I'm not a kid anymore I'm glad I live in FL...the cold and snow are not as appealing to me anymore.

Do you still live in the area you grew up in or have you moved away? Are you glad you live where you do?

Nope, I moved outta there so fast my shoes were on fire. . .I have some good memories but I will not be going back there unless it is to retire and kick back.. .
nobody ever did anything of major importance where I am from and most of my friends friends from public school still wake up and have a beer and go off to a job they hate. I think there was a handful of people from my class in high school that got out and they never go back except to see family.
I would say it is a good place to raise a child too keep them out of trouble but it sure is boring!
:D

I get the sneakin suspicion that no matter where I go, I'll one day wind up back here

I bitch a lot about this place, but for a 25 yr old guy, Ive lived a life people 3x my age will never encounter

I moved to Fla from NY about 15 years ago. Sometimes I really miss it. There was a sense of "Neighborhood" that is really not here.

But then again I would have to have a shit load of money in NY to live like I do here.

I still miss is sometimes though.

I grew up in a small town in Ohio. One of the best things I ever did was move away from there. I have been able to see many different places and a lot of different cultures. that's something that I never would have experienced in a small town.

and of course i joined the army and met my wonderful wife. I definetly never would have found BronzedGoddess in a small town in Ohio.

I go back occasionally to visit with family. It's usually a pretty good reminder as to why i moved away. IMO, you have to get out and experience life.

When I graduated I wanted to get out of Pa so bad. I'm glad I left too, it showed me how great the area was. There were of course some crappy prople, but for the most part I love the people there and my home. I wanna keep it my home in the future, so I'm gonna hopefully to an East Coast school so that I have the "name recognition" factor for my future job. I miss being near my friends and family, thats where my heart is. :( I'm going home on Thursday for Easter tho! YAY!
