Born in Glendale, CA (suburb of L.A., near Pasadena and Burbank.) Moved to Sunland-Tujunga in my adulthood. (Sunland-Tujunga is also a suburb of L.A., near Burbank.) Moved to “Hooterville”, a mid-sized Midwestern town, a few years ago. I return to L.A. as often as I can, about twice a year. ---

Oh, West Virginia, if anyone’s heard of it. And no, I don’t mean the western part of Virginia. I thought it amusing that Delaware was resolved to not exist. ---

In order: Cinti, OH Huntington,WVA Columbus, OH Indianapolis, IN (most of my life: 0ver 30 years) Cleveland Heights, OH (suburb of Cleveland) goboy: Where in Indy?? ukulele ike and pldennison: Why did you leave Cleveland?? This place is MUCH nicer than I was lead to believe (“Mistake by the Lake” and all that…). I consider myself to be a Hoosier in exile until my parents die off. I’d like to go home one of these days but am engaged to a life-long Cleveland resident and so may never get the opportunity. The things I do for love. 🙂 MomCat ---

Got to give a big “up” to my peeps in Chicago. Born & raised here. I lived in Boston for two years but MAN! Was I glad to get back. Boston’s a sucky place to live if you’re not from there originally, you don’t drive, you don’t like seafood, you do like pizza, and you can’t stand listening to people mangle English. Don’t tell me about Chicago accents, either…I have no discernable accent (I’ve been told) but the Chicago accent is far less grating than the Boston one. Sorry to hijack with my little arbitrary territorial rant. ---
