I live about 45 miles from where I grew up, but it was a roundabout trip getting back here, spent 12 years elsewhere before coming home.

Google says I live 1870 miles from where I was born. I grew up in a dozen states, all at least that far away�
Glad to not be in any of them.

I guess I win for the shortest distance since I have never moved 1 time . No college never in the service, have lived in the same house where I was born for 64 years.

4,300 miles give or take few.

About 600 miles away for me and no plans to go back except for short visits with my folks.

100 yds. I bought my uncles house next door to my fathers home, the one I grew up in. Bounced around a little after the military, then came back home.

3576 miles.
mom doesn't drop in often
but as she and I get older, wish I was nearer to her to help her out more and just spend more time with her.
but she doesn't want to move here, and I don't want to leave here
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Last time I drove it was 810 miles by the shortest route, most of my life it was more.

When I grow up, I'll let you know...... but I spent my first 18 years maybe 5,000 miles from here, in central NoDak.
Shoulda bought some Bakken land with mineral rights....

1800 miles by road ... a million miles by culture and outdoors!

Growing up covers a wide radius, and have been all over the world. But about 48 miles from where I spent most my years before going into the service, and about 70 from where I was born!
Happenstance is what I think picked my location, changing that would be difficult at best...

Growing old is mandatory
Growing up is optional.
