      I've wondered this about the people here. Good question.

      I guess it depends on how you define near. I live (in NYC) about 2 hours north of the city in which I was born (Philadelphia).

        Funny to me is that my girlfreind has lived in the house she grew up in her entire 45 years on this planet, she inherited it when she was 22 and kept it the whole time. Thats a good one to me..............

          I'm roughly a half hour drive from the old farm. Sometimes I drive out there and just sit in the old pasture and enjoy the quiet. I swear when I was a kid, if you laid on the ground and looked up at the sky you could feel and hear the world rotate....Dead quiet, except for the buzz of an insect here and there, or the distant beller of a cow. Now all I hear is gunshots and police sirens all night.....AAARGH!

            I don't even live in the same province as I grew up in,let alone the same town...LOL
            I really wish I did for the kids sake.City life is not for children in my opinion.

                I don't live anywhere near my old neighborhood. It's probably been maybe 3 years since I drove through where I grew up

                    I live in my grandma's old house, which I lived in during my teens. It's within walking distance of my childhood home, which my mom still lives in.

                          I was born in Marlborough, MA and grew up in Clinton and Lancaster, MA. Moved to Martha's Vineyard in '86 and then to Chattanooga, TN in '92. Moved back up North in '96 to my mom's old hometown of Pomfret Center, CT. After my divorce in '07, I met a wonderful lady and we moved into a place last summer in Worcester, MA. Now after so many years I'm back in MA which I love and I'm about 40 min from my old hometown. I love driving up to Clinton and Lancaster whenever possible.
