Relatives are from the Pipestone/Mankato areas of SW Minn. Parental units escaped to upstate NY and stuck around Syracuse long enough for all 3 of us to be born. Then we hit the road as IBM government contract vagabonds, mostly up and down I-95. This is my 3rd time living in Fla, rapidly coming up on my 26th year here.

When you're from Texas, people who you meet ask you questions like, "Do you have any cows?" It's nice to be able to say yes. They ask you, "Do you have horses?" Yup. Bet you got a bunch of guns, eh? Of course.
They all want to know if you've been to Southfork. They watched Dallas. Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Why sure you have. Look at Texas for me just for a second. That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast, and the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it, they know what it is. It's Texas. Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt, and he'll know what it is. What happens if I show you a picture of any other state? You'll get it maybe after a second, but who else would? Even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you?
In every man, woman and child on this little rock the Good Lord put us on, there is somewhere in them a person who wishes just once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride in a pickup. Did you ever hear anyone in a restaurant go, "Wow... so you're from Ok-la-homa. Cool. Tell me about it"? There is some bit of Texas in everyone. Do you know why? Because Texas is Texas.
Texas is the Alamo. Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican soldiers, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out and save themselves but stayed. We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and Bowie, and do you know why? Because those men saw a line in the sand, and they decided to be heroes. John Wayne paid to do the movie himself. That is Texas. Texas is Sam Houston capturing Santa Ana at San Jacinto. Texas is Texas Independence Day and Juneteenth. Texas is huge forests of piney woods like the Davy Crockett National Forest. Texas is breathtaking mountains in Big Bend. Texas is shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas. Texas is oak and cedar trees, cactus, Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork. Texas is Mexican food like nowhere in the world, even Mexico. Texas is larger-than-life legends like Earl Campbell and Nolan Ryan, Denton Cooley and Michael DeBakey, Lyndon Johnson, George Bush, and George W. Bush, Willie Nelson and Buddy Holly. Texas is great companies like Dell Computer and Compaq. Texas is huge herds of cattle and miles of crops. Texas is skies blackened with doves and leases full of deer. Texas is the best Bar-b-que anywhere. Texas is a place where cities shut down for the Cowboys on Monday Night Football and the streets are deserted during church.
Texas is beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and prairies.
Texas was its own country. The Republic of Texas. Every time I think of all these things I tear up. All of them make you proud to be a Texan.

Air Force brat. Didn't have to move too much. Whole family (both sides) are Indiana farmers and blue collar hero's. Dad left the AF after 20 years to fly for United Airlines. I'm a Mid-Western, Seattle pro-sports lovin' Buckeye and a Jack of few trades. My parents always told me I could do anything, and that is what I do. Trying to find my place in this world as a happy conservative/libertarian/Ayn Rand student Objectivist and bonafied anti-communist.

I was born in Hollywood California, then moved to Lakewood and then Long Beach. In the service I was stationed in Japan, Korea and Okinawa as well as Missouri. My wife and I were living in Maryland until 2006 when we moved up here to Pennsylvania. Other than the winters, we enjoy PA just fine. I'm not in a hurry to return to So Cal.

I was born in Kansas, and lived the first 18 years of my life on my great-grandpa's farm. After that, lived in Texas, Wyoming, Utah and Nebraska before coming back to Kansas.
I can honestly say that I'd prefer to live back in Wyoming over any other state. I loved the lack of state income taxes, the low prices on everything, and the land and people.
I have absolutely NO fond memories of Texas. Ya'll can have that state. Don't miss the food, the heat, or the dust. :fuelfire:

I remember when I got to San Antonio for AIT. It was November. From everything in the movies, I thought it was in a desert as I had seen many movies and shows about the Alamo. Um, wrong perception. It was cold, raining, and grassy. No desert, no tumbleweed, none of that shiat. Hooters on the river was cool. Other than that, it was like a foreign country....and I couldn't speak Spanish. Ft. Sam? Women all over the damn place. It's probably the only installation where it "seems" the women outnumber the men.

I bought food at White Castle once. Notice I said "bought," not "ate." That's because no one would eat it. We ended up going a few more blocks and buying non-food the kids would eat at McDonald's. We didn't even try to save the WC stuff for the dogs, just trashed the whole meal.

Fair enough. WC is crap. But when I lived in Columbus I got to eat at the first ever Wendy's. That Dave Thomas was a genius. That there is some good fast food burgering.

Yeah, that's pretty much all of them.
I only go to Krystal's because there's no White Castle nearby. WC has great fries. Of all the fast food places I've been to, Bojangles has the best.

Chick-Fil-A= true perfection of fast food. My CR group knows that college students favor CFA by a large margin over other fast-food places, so we purchase a couple of platters, set up a booth...VOILA! A bribe with immediate results! :innocent:

I was going to mention that. You shoulda cut the sammiches in half and stuck a frilly toothpick through them to keem them together. They'll last longer. My parents had a housewarming party a couple years ago. They did sliced roast beef (real roast beef, not that stuff from the deli) in croissants with pesto slathered over them. They were good.

When I was pregnant with my last child I had to go downtown to Baylor because I was going to a high risk OB. There was a Jack In The Box that we always stopped at because my appointments were always around lunch time and it was right down the street from the hospital (I liked their Chicken Fajita Pita) . When I was about 7 months pregnant we were eating inside of it and the health department came in and shut it down while we were eating. Made us leave before we finished our food. I have never eaten at another one since. :puke:

When I was pregnant with my last child I had to go downtown to Baylor because I was going to a high risk OB. There was a Jack In The Box that we always stopped at because my appointments were always around lunch time and it was right down the street from the hospital (I liked their Chicken Fajita Pita) . When I was about 7 months pregnant we were eating inside of it and the health department came in and shut it down while we were eating. Made us leave before we finished our food. I have never eaten at another one since. :puke:
Ew.
We had the power go out at a restaurant I was working when I lived in NC. For some reason, the state forbids you from serving food without 1500 candlepower of illumination in the dining room. So, we had to throw out at least thirty entrees, appetizers, and desserts that were ready to be served because it was against the law to take them to our customers. The power was out for at least 30 minutes... I have no idea how much money we lost because we had to turn more people away. We had a ton of walk-in traffic because we were right next to NCSU.
They do serve a bitchin' steak and cheese sammich, tho. Pity the poor guy who didn't get his order.

You're that person in the commercial with the Y2K deep freezer full of White Castle burgers, aren't you?
I can quit ANYTIME I tell you!

Chick-Fil-A= true perfection of fast food. My CR group knows that college students favor CFA by a large margin over other fast-food places, so we purchase a couple of platters, set up a booth...VOILA! A bribe with immediate results! :innocent:
Totally. 4 years in Japan was almost torture without it. Damn glad I got stationed within 15 minutes of one.

Yeah I thought it didn't look as good in the picture as they are in real life. When my cousin comes to visit me she brings us frozen ones that you just bake in the oven. Not as good as getting them from the restaurant but man they are still really good. Trust me though, if you ever come across a Runza, try one. If you don't like it I'll pay for it. :p

I remember when I got to San Antonio for AIT. It was November. From everything in the movies, I thought it was in a desert as I had seen many movies and shows about the Alamo. Um, wrong perception. It was cold, raining, and grassy. No desert, no tumbleweed, none of that shiat. Hooters on the river was cool. Other than that, it was like a foreign country....and I couldn't speak Spanish. Ft. Sam? Women all over the damn place. It's probably the only installation where it "seems" the women outnumber the men.
It's been a long time since I lived in San Antonio. I thought it would be this little Western town with cattle all over. Turned out it had good museums, excellent symphony, nice people.
I loved Ft Sam, used to take my kids there to pet the deer in the quadrangle. I went to I think it was Brooks hospital with my friends. We took our dogs there and did pet therapy.
Living in San Antonio was a happy time. I had to return to STL when my dad died to help my mom.

Born in St. Louis, moved to south west Missouri about 25 miles west of Branson for my raisin'. North Carolina in the Army. Moved to San Diego for a very short while. Started building water towers and moved all over the place .... Stayed in Hawaii on a job for about a year but for the most part was in an area for 1 - 3 months.
Found Texas whilst traveling and when the kids were born told the wife out of all the places we had lived I liked Hawaii and Texas and it was her pick.
Settled in Texas and haven't looked back. I LOVE Texas!

Born in South Carolina, raised in South Carolina, lived my whole life, except a short time in the Marines and the best part of that was at Parris Island , South Carolina. Then there was that couple of years of college time and it was spent at The University of South Carolina. ....and I'd like to add, good Lord willing, I'm gonna die in South Carolina.
Did I happen to mention that I was from South Carolina?
...and for all the Texas folks here. I got relatives all over Texas but I ain't heard none of ya'll mention my favorite little Texas towns, Mt. Pleasant and Mt. Vernon?

I'm an Air Force brat. I claim Michigan as home, cause thats where I "grew up", meaning I went through High School there. I was born in Iraklion, Crete though.

Born in WV, grew up in KY with a short stint in TN.
Moved to NC in my mid 20's and decided since I was in Fayetteville to just join the Army.
After ETS went back to KY, then SC, then VA, then TN, then PA (stuck out like a sore thumb with this Southern accent), back to NC, back to TN, now back in NC with another move on the horizon.
Something keeps calling me back to TN and NC.

TN is gorgeous...but I love North Georgia. I have a vacation/turned investment house there. I miss the roadtrips and the scenery. Maybe one day......Florida doesn't do it for me anymore...

North GA is one of the possible locations for our next move. Dahlonega is favored. I haven't been there yet, but my husband likes it so much that he would rather our home be there and drive from Atlanta for weekends.

I'm from Upstate New York. Born 15-20 miles from where I'm typing this. Lived in a few places, most in NY. I did spend two years in Texas--El Paso, when I was at FT Bliss.

Born in Rhode Island. Grew up as a Navy brat in Newfoundland, Virginia and the Netherlands. Dad retired in Pittsburgh, when I was 12 and I've been here ever since.

Born in Gary, Indiana and lived there for 10 years. Father moved us to a pudunk down called Durant in Mississippi and lived there for 2 years. Father moved us to the New Orleans and lived there until I joined the Air Force at 23. After San Antonio, spent about 6 months in Biloxi at Keesler for Tech School. Got stationed at Camp Zama in Japan and spent 7 years there where I met my wife and our daughter was born. Our wife got us stationed at the Pentagon so we lived in DC, Manassas and Woodbridge in Virginia, then Germantown in Maryland and spent about 5 years total in that area. Wife got stationed at Sheppard in Wichita Falls, then got out and we moved to the DFW area and have been here since. Texas is the best state I've ever visited or lived in and I plan to die here. :-)

I always laugh laugh when my husband tells people he's from Upstate NY. He was born and raised in Ulster County for goodness sake! I'm from the South and don't consider that as Upstate, but what do I know. Guess hubby just got used to the term from living there so long.

At some point in the 1940's, my ancestors crawled out of the Mississippi backwoods and made it to the big city of Memphis where both my parents were born and raised. I was born in Memphis but we lived in Southaven MS my entire life. (It's right across the state line) My relatives are scattered all over TN/MS and my parents and siblings still live where I grew up.
When I was 21, I moved to Dallas (wild hair - didn't know a soul, just packed up my car and went) and lived in the Metroplex for 12 years before moving to Northern Virigina. We have been here for about 6 years now. I'd love to move back to either Texas or MS/TN area to be closer to family. Hubby is an Okie but I don't hold it against him. :evillaugh:

Born in central IL while my parents were visiting my mom's parents for Christmas. Lived in N IL through kindergarten, my dad was transferred to Sioux Falls for 2 yrs, then to W Des Moines, through 8th grade. Transferred back to N IL where I went to HS, college in DeKalb at NIU. Then I moved by myself to Omaha, staying with a step sister in Council Bluffs til I found a job in Omaha about 2 wks after I got there.
Lived in Omaha where I met my ex right before he started his senior yr in med school. We got married when he finished, moved to Charlottesville VA for 2 yrs, last 4 mos of that time at the VA Hospital in Roanoke, and had my daughter there. Went to Durham NC for 4 yrs with 2 stops in Asheville for 4 mos for him to work at the VA hospital there.

From Jonesborough, Tn. My daddy got a job in Michigan working for GM. He left me down in Tn for 7 years, living with my Grandparents. My mother is from Harlan County, Ky.
After they forcibly kidnapped me and took me to the northern tundra, there I resided for over 50 years. I ended up working for GM myself. I retired in 06.
During the process of moving back to Tn, my wife decided she wanted to live in northern Michigan. Hence the divorce, which ended up being a legal separation ( all of the headaches with none of the benefits) :naughty: It was finalized last Monday.
Anywayfor the last few years I've been splitting the time between the two states. Now that I have no obligations to anyone but the dog (joint custody), I'm moving to my trailer in Greeneville, Tn permanently.

I missed this thread.
I was born a poor black child (not really) in Rochester, Indiana in 1962. My dad was the high school football coach there and he delivered me because my mom waited too long to go to the hospital.
Somewhere in the mid-1960s we moved to Goshen, Indiana where my dad became the high school football coach there. I grew up there and graduated from high school there where my dad coached but fortunately he had retired by then after realizing that raising five kids on a teacher and coach's salary just wasn't going to cut it and he bought a liquor store - but didn't drink.
I got married for the first time in 1982 and moved to the big city of Elkhart, Indiana and got divorced a few years later. I then got remarried (and am still married) and moved to Winona Lake, Indiana in 1994. We then moved to Woodstock, GA (a suburb of Atlanta) when my husband was transferred in 1997 and then in 2001 he was transferred again and we moved to Round Rock, Texas (just north of Austin). I think we'll be here awhile.

I hope you took a few of those crips out.
-
Where are you from?
I don't have a "home" per se. I was borne and raised in the Navy. I don't particularly claim any of the cities we were stationed (Long Beach, San Diego, Alameda, Bremerton) - I was born in Norwalk, CA - because the Navy families are not a part of those communities, in my experience. Throughout me early school years, the navy kids were ostracized by the local kids; as such the only friends I had longer than 18 months to 2 years were the kids of my dad's shipmates.
Nowadays I consider my home town to be the place where my wife and I have laid down roots - Galt's Gultch, Colorado.

Did the typical West Pacs and a LOT of short cruises to San Clemente Island (next door to Catalina Island). Decided I needed a change of pace and went to Minnesota for recruiting duty. I was there for four years. (Typical tour is three years) Got fed up with the Mother in law and decided to get back to the fleet. Spent my last five years In Norfolk, again. Retired to MN. Lived there for another 13 years. Now, I'm back home in Texas.

Born in Detroit, raised in the 'burbs of that freakin' hellhole. Escaped to enlist in the Army for 20 years and went to various places like South Carolina, Massachusetts, Virginia, then about 15 years in Germany. Back to Ft.

Probably going to retire permanently in TN. High sales tax, but no income tax, low property tax, and only a few tornadoes to worry about.
Besides, in Jackson, Tenn., you don't have to schlep your garbage cans out to the curb. The garbage guys come up and get 'em from wherever you store 'em, emtpy 'em, then put 'em back.
It's a little thing, but it's important.

Jackson is nice. It's growing, but it's far enough away from everything to be quiet.

Lived there for a year after getting married to Mrs. E. Great little town, worth going back to permanently.
But in the past 9 years, two tornadoes have ripped through the downtown area. What are the odds of THAT happening again? :p

That's about what I figured.
I think I'll take my chances. At least it ain't a forest fire or a mud slide or an earthquake or some other kind of fun......

I'm kinda new to this board and don't know many of you well, but I'll jump in on this. (Besides, I know Thor won't pass on an opportunity to lay a BS on me just 'cuz.) :lmao:
Born in Detroit, raised in the 'burbs of that freakin' hellhole. Escaped to enlist in the Army for 20 years and went to various places like South Carolina, Massachusetts, Virginia, then about 15 years in Germany. Back to Ft. Living Room in Michigan (it's a long story) for a couple of years, Illinois, Tennessee, Salt Lake City, NE Ohio, now here in north-central Missouri.

My 4 years in Salt Lake City don't count? Those Wasatch Mountains are anything but flat!

I keep telling you to come over to this part of the state.....we don't have the same kind of tornadoes. :-)
We do have a symphony and lots of students to teach music......
and this side of the state is Republican.... :-)

Yeah, I know -- and I actually have family that live in Elizabethton - just south of Johnson City, I think.
Just one problem - I think it's too close to Dollywood.

I was born in Michigan City, IN. My family is mostly from here, Peoria IL, but my grandparents were from New York and Connecticut.

I've been to Michigan City. It's not exactly safe after dark, right?

There's a lot of moonbats in Johnson City now. ETSU has made it a liberal college town now.

Dollywood is over an hour away from my house depending on traffic...it could be more. :hammer:
ETSU is expanding their Arts and Fine Arts programs and doing a lot with the Film/Animation department....which accounts for all the 'moonbats'... :mental:
Besides, it's prettier here than Jackson. We have mountains and lots of trees....Jackson is as flat as where you are now. You can get to Jackson in about 4-5 hours. :-)

I've lived in so damned many places I don't much care anymore where we live, as long as the tax bite isn't excessive, the temps don't plunge to minus 20 in 30 mph winds, and they come get my garbage cans off my back porch when it's garbage day.
Can the garbage guys do that in your AO? If so, we may have a deal. But I gotta retire a final time first - maybe in 10 years or so.
