Doh!
slinks away in frustration
Google Maps says “13.5 miles (about 24 minutes)”. Born on the south side of the city; currently reside on the north side.
About 2300 miles.
Now that I went through Yahoo maps, I see that my guess was very close! 155.4 miles
47.5 miles by road. 37.4 as the crow flies.
About 2,800 miles.
I currently live 10.8 miles by road from the hospital (since torn down) where I was born.
Not only is the hospital where I was born (on and army base no less) torn down, but the house where I lived until I was in junior high school, both grandparents’ houses, the first church I went to as a kid were also torn down before I was a parent. It’s like they’re trying to tell me something like, “Sorry you’re here.”
Gives an additional meaning to “You can’t go home again.”
About 20,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles, give or take a mile or two.
As of today (Wednesday) - 17.4 miles.
After Sunday, 377.5 miles.
The street where the hospital I was born in used to be can only be seen now as a faint line from over head (sat, airplane, superman, whatever…), as that entire former area of the town sank back into the swamp some 20 - 30 odd years ago. Seriously.
I think I did come in in the top 5 or 10, last time we had this thread. We had a couple of people from Europe move to Australia or NZ, or vice versa. But I am almost the maximum distance you can get around the globe. I didn’t even move very far north or south, according to Google Punjab, India is around 30.4 N latitude and 75.5E Longitude, and NY is 40 N latitude, and 71 E longitude. Dear Og, I hope I got that right.
I think I was fairly high up in the stats, too, last time around. I come in at 8,692 miles or 13,988 kilometers.
Yeah, I was born on the other side of the world.
1930 miles. Santa Anna to St.Paul.
19.7 miles according to Google maps.
2700.68 miles according to Mapquest. (Silver Spring, MD -> San Diego, CA)
Outside of the town I grew up in in Maryland (not Silver Spring), I’ve only met one other person who’s ever lived there. I was pretty amazed–she was working at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and I met her when she was giving a presentation about the school at my high school here in San Diego. She mentioned that she grew up on a small town on the East Coast and I managed to weasel out that she was from my town, and she told me the town had just got a ZIP code a couple years ago. But looking at Mapquest, it looks like either (a) they haven’t yet or (b) Mapquest doesn’t recognize it yet.
21 miles. The closest I have lived to that hospital was maybe 4 miles; the furthest was 1040.
My kids were both born in that hospital, too.
20 miles for me.
I wish my neighbor was a Doper. She lives in the house where she was born, and she’s 70. I think she’d win.
45.2 miles from the hospital where I was born to the house I live in now.
