I’m jealous that everyone except me is getting to have coffee with you.

Someday! Someday!

Sure. I live in Franklin Township, New Jersey.

And I grew up in Franklin Twp, PA.

According to MapQuest, I’m about 86 miles from Franklin, FL. The next closest Franklin appears to be Alabama.

Wisconsin has at least two Franklins; one is incorporated and one is not. I’ve lived pretty close to both of them.

Good. So now we’re down from county to township. Roughly how big (square miles) is that township? Any idea of population there?

From here:

46 square miles, bounded on the north, west and south by the Raritan and Millstone Rivers, on the east by State Highway 27 (except for the Little Rocky Hill section of the Township where the boundary is Old Road, former State Highway 27 alignment)

Encompasses the historic and geographic areas of Zarephath, East Millstone, Franklin Park, Griggstown, Middlebush, Somerset and portions of Kingston and Little Rocky Hill

POPULATION - 2000 Census - 50,903

From here:

My Franklin is smaller! And there appear to be multiple Franklin Twps in PA but then, what else would you expect?

@VunderBob

23 Miles from Franklin VA (closest); 267 to Franklin NC (closest of 2 within NC where I live); 750 miles to Franklin IN, which is near Indianapolis where I moved east from.

Slight hijack here, but that’s my Dad’s hometown, VunderBob. I’ve got relatives all in that area, in Holland and in Suffolk, and in the Tidewater area in general. I had wondered if you were near any of them, and now I know.

Uh… I don’t know how far I am from any Franklin, btw. Sorry!

266 miles from Franklin, OH in Warren County
114 from Franklin in Coshocton County

70 and 77 miles from the two nearest Franklins in PA.

@Emilio Lizardo

I live 0.7 miles from Franklin’s Restaurant Brewery & General Store. Does that count for anything?

Okay, this is too weird. I know exactly where Franklin’s is … and I’m about 1.5 miles from it! I’m on Gallatin Street, off of Hamilton, behind the Safeway, btw, Emilio Lizardo.

In Pennsyltuckey, we has us a bunch of Franklins. One in Venango County (up towards Erie), one in Cambria County (outside of Johnstown), one in Chester County (near Philly), and another in Westmoreland County (near Pittsburgh). Then there’s the Borough of Franklintown in northern York County (south of Harrisburg) which is 18.5 miles from me, and the eastern border of Franklin County is around 33 miles.

Huh! Aparently I live 20.55 miles from Franklin, CA. I didn’t even know there was one! I drove down Franklin Blvd. today to get to a friend’s house. I guess if I’d kept going I would have gotton to Franklin proper.

I don’t think it’s a real town. I think it’s more of a locale. When I look at it on the Mapquest map, it appears to be about a dozen square blocks in the middle Elk Grove, CA.

19.81 miles from one of the four Franklins (according to MapQuest) in NJ.

I live 141 miles away from Franklin, Calif. (according to Mapquest). Franklin appears to be a suburb of Sacramento; could be wrong.

I’m 66 miles from the same place. It actually used to be a Western Pacific (later became Union Pacific) railroad depot. Might have been a city at one point, but now, it’s really just a ghost on the far, far southwest edge of Sacramento.

This would be the same place I am 20.55 (see above post). It’s really more of a neighborhood.

I live about 40 miles from Franklin, TN.

My dad grew up in the Indiana Masonic Home in Franklin, Indiana. Mom and Dad both graduated from Franklin College there. My dad tried to get me to go to college there. There’s daily mandatory chapel there, so, no thanks, Dad. The town is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from here. Do I like Franklin? Dunno, I never frankled.

[gardentraveler]

I, too, am in Franklin County and just a few miles from the area of town called Franklinton. One of the major landmarks there is Greenlawn Cemetery, which Mapquest tells me is 4.35 miles from me. I’m 75.77 miles from the Franklin that’s in Coshocton County (near, well, Coshocton - basically east of Columbus) and 88.17 miles from the Franklin that looks like it’s halfway between Dayton and Cincinnati, in Warren County.

I’m currently 83 miles from Franklin, GA.

But I did move here in December from Franklin, TN!

I’m 19 miles from Franklin, GA (Newnan)…and have been all my life.

Do I win the Georgia pool?

According to Mapquest, Franklin, Idaho is 323.38 miles from where I live.
