A little less than 2 1/2 miles. Don't wander off much, either.

Right now I live about 4 miles from the old house I grew up in, before I left Alaska I was a good hour on 737 from Anchorage, and a good day traveling by air to were I currently live, spent some time living on the island of Kauai and further west Guam! I don't miss the islands one bit, thou I could take Kodiak Island Alaska, never spent much time there, I am poor for that but that was the breaks at the time!

I grew up in Manhattan, a mile and a half from the WTC.
I'm now in Northern Virginia, 257 miles away.
I used to make it home door to door in 3.75 hours.
Now, I don't go anymore.
Sad day today.

No, not even close.
My dad was career Air Force, I was born on an AF base that has been closed for some time (Myrtle Beach, SC)and my two younger brothers were born at Otis, AFB in Massachusetts in 63 & 65.
It was off to the UK for three years, the Keesler, AFB for a year, then Karamursel Turkey for three years, then Offutt AFB in Nebraska then back to Kessler, AFB in Biloxi, MS for a couple of years then he retired in 1974.
We moved to Durham, NC after he retired and I joined the Marine Corps in June 1977...so it continues.
Home is where I lay my head down at night.
In a perfect world I'll retire in south Georgia or north Florida and spend my summers and fall in the UP.

220 miles South. NC was great, but I have no desire to move back since I lost both parents. I'm about ready to move 10 miles and get into SC- Georgia will be a blue state within 20 years.

the rest of my family lives in North East PA within 20 miles were they started 300+ years ago (late 1600's), worked moved me to the west coast 2700 miles away. I joke with our nieces and nephews when they get to dating age telling them they need to go out of state to find someone that they are not related too.

I'm here now...74 years and 6 months! Same here, err, not quite as many years.

8 years ago I bought the house my grandparents built in the late 60's. Spent a majority of my childhood there roaming the woods with friends. It was always my safe place to go.
Couldn't stand the thought of driving by and seeing someone else living there.
