Parents are from Long Island, I went to NYU.
Not a Yankee here. Born in Norfolk and raised in VA Beach about a mile from Gate 4 Little Creek.
Boston born, moved to the burbs as a kid...
but to keep the NJ theme, I lived off exit 4 in 1991 before moving to Philly in '92 (then detroit in '93)
Born in north Jersey, lived in DE and MD. Never home until now though.
My hometown is Roanoke, Virginia. My folks still live in the house where I grew up.
I lived in Richmond after college before I moved out here in 2000.
Born and raised in Baltimore.
Lived in Sparta, NJ for several years while working at the World Trade Center, #5 and #6.
Too much time working in Washington DC. I will never wash that out.
East Orange (for about a day), Newark, Hillside, East Brunswick, Bradley Beach, Babylon, New Brunswick, and then I was outta there. Used to ride my motorcycle down to Point Pleasant and sit on the seawall there when things seemed bad.
Moved up & down the East Coast on Naval bases as a kid. Born in South Carolina, spent quality time in Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, and Connecticut, as I can recall. Folks finally settled in the DC Suburbs.
In my adult life post-Navy, my residence was primarily in Florida, less a few years in Manhattan and Long Island City / Astoria in Queens.
Spent some quality time at the Li'bary, Hon? I lived briefly in a quasi-crack house owned by my slum-lord ex FIL, on North Ave & Jones Falls Expressway.Quote:

Raised in Carteret, NJ - exit 12 on the turnpike. Moved to the midwest at 17 and never went back except to visit family. It was still a small town when I was a kid. The milkman would do his deliveries in a horse cart. The local dump was a shooting range.
It brings back memories to see the maps of Sandy's effects since the town often shows up on the maps.

Now I'm here :D
Delaware Water Gap, Stoudsburg....Erie, PA.....
Erie, PA! We'd go there, when I lived in Jamestown, cuz it was the only place 'close' that had a big mall!
My folks live just outside of Jamestown these days, right on Rt 5.
Mine live in Bemus Point now.
I've got you all beat so far. Cape Cod. You'll have to be from Maine or England to be more "back east" than that.
And not from Provincetown, so no jokes from any Mass-holes...
Yup,got us all beat!Quote:
