Where are you from? (Your roots)

Where are you guys from? Not where you live today, but where did you grow up? I know you Army/Military brats will be "From all over", but- where's home?

I'm trying to see how small the world really is....

Home: Natchez, MS
Live Now: Sierra Vista, AZ

From: Rochester NY
Rochester NY (western NY, not freaking NYC), actually a little hick town outside of it that has since exploded with a huge mall and golf coursesis where I grew up. I now live just outside the city proper. This area is dying a slow death economically and biotech jobs are scarce and pay bad here so I may not stay here much longer, which is too bad, its always been home. I've had my eye on the Philly PA area, all my friends from college live there.

I am a military brat. Bounced around from Ramie, AFB Puerto Rico, Lackland AFB Texas and finally Warren AFB in Cheyenne, WY. I graduated in Cheyenne and claim it as my home. I lived in Raleigh, NC for 5 years before coming back home to Cheyenne four years ago.

Where are you from?
What's your favorite dish?

I knew that the gummit was watching the internet for suspicious activity, but c'mon. What's the next topic, "Ever built an A-Bomb in your garage?"

I'm originally form a small town in Southeastern Wisconsin, and I moved to the Chicago suburbs where I went to college and lived for about 10 years. I moved to South Florida in '97 and am planning a move to Central Florida (look out LGJ I'm headed your way!) in the next few months. I tend to move fairly often, so I don't generally put cities but here goes:

Burlington, WI
Glen Ellyn, IL
Downer's Grove, IL
Woodridge, IL
Pompano Beach, FL
Deerfield Beach, Fl
Parkland, FL

Central FL? TBD.
