Where is everyone from??

Great question Roxanne. I was born in Harrison, Arkansas and then my family moved to NE Arkansas to Jonesboro where we lived for a few years until we moved to a small town of about 750 about 30 minutes from Jonesboro. :P

I am originally from the south suburbs of Chicago. I moved to a small town in West TN about 15 years ago. (I jokingly say that if you drive to the middle of nowhere and make a left you might come close to where I live! lol) But I plan to move to the Nashville area very soon!

I was born and raised in Erlanger KY which is about 90 miles north of Lexington KY (figured that would give some idea as to where Erlanger is located). I am now married and moved to Covington KY (bought my grandmothers house, a house where she was born and raised and also where my own mother grew up) right outside of Cincinnati OH and only 15 miles from where I grew up. I have lived in Covington now for 9 years. :)

I am from Southern Illinois...however, I have also lived in the Phoenix, Arizona area and Orlando, FL...both of which were a lot more fun than Southern Illinois...hoping to relocate again soon; as I love being in and around cities!

Born and raised in SoCal. Between OC and the IE. Uh...between Newport Beach and Chino Hills. (or Chino as most OC watchers know that area, or at least are familiar.)

I've also spent summer's in Strawberry, AR. and San Antonio TX where all my family is from. Spent most summers on the the front porch of my great grandmother's house in Strawberry. Good times.. :)

:blink: That is sooooooo weird, I am from there too!!! It's like we grew up together!!!!!!!!! :LOL2: Just kiddin!! We really did grow up together, Ambur is my much OLDER sister! :giggle: Just kiddin Am, you know I had to throw that in there!! :wink: Actually, people say we look the same age, so as long as it makes her feel good that's fine with me I guess! :cry: :cry:......hehehehehehe!!!!

you know :iluvu: Am!!!! :D

Boy Checka - I have a feeling that Amby may :frypan: you with the 'older' sister mention.... :rofl:

:woohoo: I am in Gallatin Tenn, just North East of Nashville . I have been living here 35 years now on the corner of Hollywood and Vine St . We have a pet rock out side we call Rock Hudson :D :woohoo:

I live on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada!! :woohoo: Is anyone else here from Canada?? :huh:

I'm from a small town (actually just a bend in the road) in Southeastern Kentucky, about 100 miles southeast of Lexington and 100 miles north of Knoxville. Born here and lived here all my life and wouldn't choose anyplace else -- except a cattle ranch in Montana! I think I would love Montana.

Yayyy someone else from Ky! :P

*ahem, excuse me?? :cry: You're gonna get it woman! :frypan: Nahhhh, I know you love looking like your slightly older sissy. I'll never forget our "Kroger" moment, heeheee, that will stay fresh in my memory as long as I live......"are you two twins, you have to at least be sisters, and my goodness are you like months a part," ROFLMAO :raspberry: I'll hang on to that forever :rofl:

Yea! Kentucky loves Greg! :love:

Wow, there are a lot of people here from Kentucky and Tennessee. I'm from North Carolina ---all over the state pretty much, but right now I live in Wake Forest. (basketball country). :)

O, how far is Wake Forest from Hickory NC? We have friends that temporarily live in North Carolina. Jeff is the manager of the minor league team in Hickory,(The Crawdads) and we were just in NC a few weeks back to visit and see a few games. Too cool to know that so many of us are not far too from each other.

Wow I live on Vancouver Island! I was born in Vancouver British Columbia Canada, but 15 years ago I moved with my family to Vancouver Island.

Wake Forest is actually 3 hours away from Wake Forest. But my family is from Hickory, NC and I love that area. So that's cool!

Awesome, so then you've heard of the Crawdads, hehe! Small world, huh! Cool!

I was born in Damascus, Syria over in the Middle East. My family and I moved to the US when I was 7 years old to Omaha, Nebraska. We then moved to Columbus, GA and now live in Atlanta, GA. I have lived in the US for a little over 16 years. Probably more than ya'll wanted to know but it's k! lol

Born and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania in farmland country - about an hour northwest of Philadelphia.

Soap :)

I was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and lived there until I was 9 yrs. old. Then we moved to El Paso, Texas, which is right next to the Texas border, so far west that we might as well be part of New Mexico. Right now I'm living in Austin, Texas while I go to grad school at UT-Austin.

I was born and raised in Florida...I love it here I am about an hour south of Orlando I couldn't see myself living anywhere else I can't take the cold weather LOL.

Hey lulu.... I dated a guy in college that was from Del Rio...isn't that close to El Paso? (Brain freeze moment! It was a loooong time ago! lol)

It's so cool to read and find out how Greg and GH have brought people together from all over the place! :grouphug:

I don't think I ever said but I'm in Houston. I just spent a good part of last week thinking Hurricane Rita could be coming through my front yard. :unsure: Lucky for me, it veered to the east and all we saw was a little wind. Now I'm just ready to relax for a few minutes and catch up on my online life instead of worrying about what's gonna happen in my real life. :D

Glad you are ok Scouter and Rita went to the east of you. :) I think I'm going to get alot of rain from Rita... :unsure:

Playing catch up online is fun. Beats the heck out of the real world. lol

Glad you are ok Scouter! :wavey: My cousin lives in Dallas but flies for Southwest and is based in Houston so she has an apartment there. I haven't heard from her yet to see what they have gotten. Her prized posession is at her apt in Houston. Her mustang convertable. :) I hope it made it through ok too. lol

Hey Birdie, Del Rio is on the Texas border but it's actually about 7 hours away from El Paso. I always see the road signs for it when I drive between El Paso and Austin so it seems like it's close but it's way down South, heading towards the Texas valley. I've never been there though so who knows how long the drive really is, this state is so darn big!

ooooh gotcha Lu! It really was a long time ago. But such memories. lol I knew he was near the Texas/Mexico border but couldn't place where it was in relation to some of the other towns. (Grade school geography anyone? heehee) Thanks for the reply. :)

I have lived my whole life in NJ. I live about 45 minutes away from NYC.

Ooooh...my uncle and his family used to live in NJ where I would visit them almost every summer! They lived in Newark! I loved it there! Welcome to the board! :)

I :heartbeat: NYC!!

I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. Lived there my entire life.

Welcome Kimashton and Michelle! Glad you are a part of GVB!! I really love how Greg and this board has brought us all together. :)

Im from boring ol freezing but we have the best pizza-- Illinois

LOL Jenna

Hi guys! Giving the thread a bump. I LOVE looking at the stats on the site meter and today I saw a visitor from a place near me! So of course my curiousity is wide open! Someone lurking here from the Memphis TN area? Too cool! Hope you come out of lurkdom and pop in to say hello!

I LOVE THE COLD WEATHER. It has been beautiful since Hurricane Wilma hit and I am loving it.

Cristi

All my life in Nashville, Tennessee. Currently at college in Michigan.

-ERIN- :wavey:

LOL Erin. Looks like we did it backwards you and I. I started out in the cold cold Chicago suburbs and came to the sunny south (West TN) and you went from hot to cold. I love Nashville though! Hoping to live there soon! But even if that doesn't happen, that is where I first met Greg so that makes it special! :wink:

I just realized I already responded please smack me.
