Do you still live near your hometown?

[Whatthefluff]

Yes

No

[Leapfrog00]

I moved to a new town last year. I miss my hometown. I hate this town I live in now. It's full of drug addicts, drug dealers, and prostitutes.

When I walk down to the store, I can hear people fighting over drugs, and sometimes a girl propositioning a guy for sex, so she can get money to buy drugs, or sometimes it's the drug dealer she's propositioning for sex. He'll give her some crack or meth if she has sex with him.

Last year I was living back in my hometown, but the aunt I was taking care of was a narcissist, and I wasn't safe there.

I'm homesick. ::Sighs:: I will NEVER call the place I'm at now home!

[Amy10223]

It's time for you to move, if you can!

[Twalli]

I live with my parents, and I intend to until they move (If they do). My house is in an excellent location. Everything I want and need is close. I want this house and have ensured that I will inherit it in lieu of some inheritance money when my parents die. Why would I leave when it will be mine in 20 years or so? I pay rent and for my own stuff.

[Amy10223]

No, and I wish I was. I'm from NYC, and I miss it a lot. After graduation from high school we moved out to NJ, and I had to get used to living there. It was like living in the country for me, and I was bored. But then I got used to less traffic, open spaces, less people, etc. Now in the midwest, I miss NYC sorely, even if where I am now is quiet and very nice. People are more laid back. But--I now want to go to Katz's Delicatessen, The MOMA and other places.

[msmissydc]

No, my parents still live there but I stayed where I went to university and found my husband. Its his hometown though.

[OlderAndWiser]

My family has lived in this area since 1790, when my G-G-G-G-G-G-G-grandfather received a Spanish land grant in La Florida.

We don't move very often and, when we do, we don't move very fast!

[Apulu_Imback]

I'm staying in this city since I took birth, although my parents shifted from the rental apartment to their own built home when I was a little older than 2 year old.

[AaronKrieger]

No, I moved years ago, but I went back there once. It was very trippy to see and felt like I didn't belong in a way - the past is the past, so I should leave it behind type of thing.

[Moose304]

No, I left my hometown after graduating high school upon joining the Air Force. I did come back for about a month just before I started school at Georgia Tech. Today I live in another state.

[Sour-rose]

Yes, unfortunately. And ever since i hit 23, it's been like living in a mud pool. It's hard to leave and i feel sooo stuck

[Justmeagain1]

No , if given the chance I’d visit more but to me it’s just a place , my memories live there not the love I have for the people there

[Fireguy17]

Yes, I grew up in the township, now i live in the village.
I moved to California for a while a long time ago, but there were just too many people so I moved back to my home area.

[Amy10223]

You mean The Village as in NY?

[Fireguy17]

@Amy10223 No same name just one was the town, the other is the village. They are weird here in Wisconsin, they have a town of and a village of the same name.
It makes it confusing. One is in the country where you have a well and septic, farms etc, the other is the village, with water, sewer, street lights etc.
And just to make things more confusing depending on where you live in the town because you are closer to a different post office your address will have a different name and even a different county than you live in.
Plus, just to screw with you even more, your phone number exchange could be different from the town/villages prefix.
I used to live across the street from my parents, we both had the same post office mailing town/city, not the one we lived in, but I was the last of the 363 exchange, they were the first of the 642 exchange.
With mine you could call all over and it wasn't long distance, but their's sucked, you could only call 1 other exchange without it being long distance, so they would come over to my house and use my phone for a lot of calls so it was free.
If you lived there, it wasn't and issue but when you gave someone your address and it listed a different city then they would say I thought you live in...

[Amy10223]

Sounds very confusing… whew lol

[Fireguy17]

@Amy10223 It can be if you are not from the area, but when you grow up here then it isn't a big deal.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I live in Monongahela, Pennsylvania we are 45–60 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, Pa and our downtown of Monongahela is down over the hill. There are banks, McDonald's, high-rise, drug stores, etc. Population is like 3000.

[Amy10223]

That was a place I was going to retire to--near Pittsburgh but not quite in it. Then someone advised me to move closer to my daughters. My dream was to live in New Hampshire.

[electromagnetic]

Halfway across the globe.
I have plans to return one day.

[WhiteSteve]

Yeah, I’m pretty close. Maybe 45 minutes away, same general region, just opposite ends.

[whereismyjohnny]

Nope. I live about 300 kilometres away from it.

[Paris13]

lol!!! Way Down South Currently. I have Moved Around a Lot since Graduating. xxoo

[Legendarylegacy13]

Lol... I understand I use to move a lot but still in the same city. I finally settled down... lol

[musicbrain5]

I still live in it! I don’t live in the same neighbourhood though.

[petitedollbabee]

I live in my hometown. I moved away for a while but eventually came back.

[beebella]

I recently moved back/close to my birthplace. Spent the past 19 years in the desert, now I'm back in the city.

[TacosRAwesome]

It's near in a geographical sense (I guess there's like 5km between them) but it's another culture.

[Siri137]

Where else would I live? Is this a trick question?

[douride2]

I live just down the road from where I grew up.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope. I live in Shanghai, I am from Eastern Europe though.

[TheMadLad]

Yes, I don’t know how to feel about it though.

[slatyb]

About as far away as possible without leaving the country. Alaska and Hawaii would be father.

[MementoMori777]

Never left it, I might live in this city my whole life if I don't ever decide to leave

[Heolurt]

Moved back to my hometown, everywhere I've ever lived, I have been stared at like a freak so I bought a house on the edge of the city with my closest neighbour being a 5 min drive away.

[andreasderjuengere]

I moved to a different continent; I might go back in -say- 200 years :)

[Likes2drive]

I still live in my hometown, but I did used to live farther away for a while, but then came back years later

[LiamJHayden]

I was born less than two miles from here and have lived in this same house since I was four. Before that I lived down the street.

[Redstang88]

Nope, left after highschool. 1500 miles away now

[CuriousMufuxka]

If 35 mins away count, than yes. After many living situations over the US, I've always ended up returning back to this shitty state :(

[Fuentes]

Well I do I was born in SoCal but if you mean where I grew up NO

[najekim]

Nope. About 1300 miles away. Do miss my favorite pizza and burger joints though.

[Anonymous]

Of course 'near' is subjective. I could get there in a day but do not consider it near.

[Nikki1989]

No, that is over 8,000 miles away.

[Avicenna]

Nowhere near it actually

[OfMiceandMen]

A couple of hours from my hometown.

[DermalPunch]

Other side of the ocean.

[Wild_princess]

Career takes you far away

[megabamse]

Oh fuck no haha no no no no

[exitseven]

About 20 miles away.

[Pete671]

I still live in the same house I was born in,,,

[Sparkie460]

I live about 30 minutes away from where I grew up

[OfDeath]

Not for a very long time.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, of course

[Chloe1225]

Yea not far parents are 10 minutes from me.

[Roula2000]

[eagle1951]

[Pinay_ako]

I wish I did

[Jazzy54]

Nope.

[Andres77]

[LavLavLuv]

[shades777]
