Geez Mig, you sure travel a lot. What's your preference of all the places you've lived?

That's what happens TIS when you are married to a sailor I wished they would have sent us over seas. Out of all of them I liked VA the best. When Col. Slade retires (again) we are going to move back there. We still have our house there.

The thread title should be "Whence You Came?"...whence means "from where"...at least on this side of the Atlantic!

Long Island (West Hempstead) and Brooklyn (primarily). Briefly lived in Syracuse many years ago. Spent my summers in the 1960s in a slightly worn area of Florida now known as South Beach.

As far as the title of this thread, let's just be glad it's not called ...And the Horse You Rode In On.

50 years in Brooklyn and then out onto Long Island.

45 of those Brooklyn years were in the Sheepshead Bay section; the Mob's burial ground; the home of Carlo Gambino; where Johnny Sac ("The Sopranos") had his wire room that was blown up by Tony's crew; and the setting for Al Pacino's "Glengarry Glen Ross".

I don't know if there is any way to tell, but I suspect that most members are from the NY/NJ area, but I'll bet the UK comes in second. What do ya think?

I've never been there, but I do have a friend that lives in Grand Rapids.

It's in the Metro Detroit area, very close to Mount Clemens (if you know where that is).

Re: From Whence You Came? - 11/21/06 12:52 AM

Ahhh! I do know. I have many relatives in the Detroit area, and I believe one of my cousins lives (or use to) in Mt. Clemens.

Haven't been to Detroit in long long time, but as a kid I'd spend a couple weeks their visiting my cousin who lived, at the time, in Royal Oak.

I was born and raised in a town called Dunmore, next to Scranton, PA; lived in Boston three years during law school, and then took a job in the Harrisburg area. I originally planned to stay a couple of years in Harrisburg, but have lived here since 1989. I guess I like it.

I've been a Steelers fan since I was 8, which was the year of the Immaculate Reception.
Although this season hasn't been the best, there was plenty of celebrating in my house Sunday when we beat the %#@* Browns.
