160 miles from where I spent my first 25 years.
Spotted owl ruined the economy at home, left to find a decent career.
Raised my family here, and been here longer than home.
Visit often, but can't see ever leaving where I am.
My kids are here, and I'll likely be buried here.

About 350 miles from where I was raised.
Grew up in Jamestown NY, went to college in Rochester NY, then to college in Indiana PA, and lived in Punxsutawney PA while I was there.
Met my wife at IUP, and moved to the Philly area. She grew up about 20 minutes from where I now live.
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

I live about 45 miles from where I grew up. I moved here for work. When I retire I'll probably move back to that area.

The hospital I was born in is about 5 miles north and the house I grew up in is about 5 miles south.. I live smack dab in the middle. Both the wife and I have fairly established jobs here so don't really ever see leavin.
California gets a bad rap and the Bay Area especially but it's ways been my home and I like it that way just fine.
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?
She's gone shootin..

MojoHand,
A little over 1600 miles. Born and raised near Baton Rouge, La. (Zachary). In a few more years I will have lived here longer than that of my birth place.
Rooster7,
When I was a kid, I dreamed of the Northern Rockies and/or Alaska. Didn't make it to Alaska, and probably never will. Wanted to hunt big (possibly dangerous) game in remote places, and get away from cities, interstates, crime, and well the list goes on!!!!

Somewhere between 160 and 3,790 miles. Army brat.

420 miles. Really miss my hometown, though for some reason, the people there are pretty liberal. Of course, in the 40 years since i lived there, things have changed a lot - not for the better, in my opinion. There used to be factories,and little support industries all over. Looks like there is no place at all to work now. Not sure I would like it now, especially in winter. Erie, Pa gets a bit of snow! Might have to re - discover ice fishing....

I grew up in the Rust Belt area of northeast Ohio. When the steel mills in the Mahoning Valley went bust, Youngstown's fate was pretty much sealed. Graduated in 1980, and most of my classmates fled for Atlanta and Texas after college. I hung in down there for a while, but a poor job market and a particularly tough break up with a girlfriend brought me to Minnesota, and I've never looked back. 'Been up here over 20 years now, which puts me around 1000 miles from my birthplace.

My wife and I are retired and live in rural MN in the house I grew up in. I can still shoot off the steps just like when I was a kid.

I don't know. In the past 35 years the longest I've ever lived in one geographical area was 5 years.

About 7000 miles as the crow flies. Come early next year it will be either 1700 miles or 1000 miles, again as the crow flies. Just depends on which house I will be hanging out in. I left my home town in 1995 for West Texas and will soon settle once and for all.
