(1) Place of birth: Jacksonville, FL, was born there but didn't live there very long at all
(2) Where you've lived the longest in your life: Milton, FL
(3) What you consider to be your hometown and why (in other words, the place you've lived you most strongly identify yourself with -- where your heart is): Milton, FL. It's where I grew up. Milton was a nice place to grow up but I was past ready to get out of there.
(4) Most unusual place you've lived, if any: Lived in Sicily, Italy from shortly after birth till I was 2 years old. No memories of it though.
(5) Where you'd live if you could live anywhere: I want to stay close to WDW. I'm loving living 5 minutes from the MK Cast Lot but the problem is I'm living with my uncle and his family. I'm looking into apartments in the area and might wind up living in Winter Garden. Not to far but a lot farther than where I am now.

1) Place of Birth - Plymouth, MA
2) Lived the longest - Duxbury, MA 20 Years

5) Place I most want to live? LBV / Davenport area. Close to WDW but close to a community where a person can still be a volunteer firefighter with no hassles.

Wow, I don't think that before a few weeks ago I'd ever heard of Braintree, but I just finished reading David McCullough's biography of John Adams. (Yes, the source book for the HBO miniseries. The show looked interesting, but I don't get HBO, so I got the book instead!) Adams was born and lived in Braintree (even though his part of it later became Quincy).
This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, btw. Forgive my rambling -- it's been a long day.

DW and I have spent a lot of time in the Braintree, Quincy, and Holbrook area in the last few years. Nice places!! (LOVE the Friendly's eating establishments!!)

Alrighty, this thread looks interesting so I'll jump in as well:
1. Place of birth: South Milwaukee, Wisconsin
2. Lived the longest: South Milwaukee, Wisconsin (lived there for the first 14 years of my life before moving)
3. Hometown: As much as I like living in Florida, I'll always consider Franklin, Wisconsin (where my family currently lives) my hometown. No question about it.
4. Most unusual: The dormitories at college, got lots of interesting stories from my years there.
5. Place I most want to live: Europe, preferably Norway. Just because of the awesome people and culture there.

1. Place of birth: Uh... I was born in a Hospital in Albany New York... but when I went home from the hospital, it was to the outlaying town of Clifton Park.
2. Lived the longest: Lived in Clifton Park for the first 17 years of my life... then for the summers of the next 4 years... and am back in Clifton Park now.
3. Hometown: Clifton Park?
4. Most unusual: Troy, New York, for 4 years of college... I guess... unusual simply because... it wasn't Clifton Park.
5. Place I most want to live: Um... Clifton Park? I'm a homebondy. Everyone says they gotta get out of this town... but I wanna stay... except I might not be able to if I want to marry my SO in a few years, when said SO graduates grad school and plans to move to California.... wants to live in Los Angeles... that's a looooooooooong way from here. :(

(3) What you consider to be your hometown and why (in other words, the place you've lived you most strongly identify yourself with -- where your heart is); Sacramento Ca because I have always lived in the area and no one knows where Davis is until the city does something stupid and makes the world news.

by Theme Park Where
(1) Place of birth: Normal, IL (Everyone has one chance to be normal. I was born there; I'm under no further obligation!)
(2) Where you've lived the longest in your life: Continuously - Flint, MI (7 years); Off and on - Orlando, FL (11 years)
(3) What you consider to be your hometown and why (in other words, the place you've lived you most strongly identify yourself with -- where your heart is): Probably Orlando now. I haven't been back to Flint or Normal for a long time for more than a brief visit, and most of my friends are now either in or from O-town.
(4) Most unusual place you've lived, if any: Hellevuitsluis, the Netherlands. I lived there for a little over a month in the 90s and that's the answer to number 5 as well ...
(5) Where you'd live if you could live anywhere: Holland. I really enjoyed the time I "lived" there (I wasn't there long, but it really seemed like home and I kind of miss the European way of thinking sometimes).
I LUV Chip, I lived in Council Bluffs too! I was in first grade when we moved though. That was a LONG time ago!
