How many of you still live in your hometown?

I'm an Army brat so I moved a whole lot while growing up. I was born in Fort Devens, Massachussetts, moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, moved to Ethiopia, moved to Buffalo, New York, moved to Fort Riley, Kansas, moved to Columbus, Georgia, Parents retired and moved to Cusseta, Georgia. Got married and moved to fort Knox, Kentucky moved back to Cusseta,Georgia, moved to Perkasie, Pennsylvania, moved back to Cusseta, Georgia and hopefully soon will move to Richland, Georgia. I hope to God that will be the last move!

While I don't live anywhere near my hometown, we live in the same house that my husband was brought to the day after he was born. Other than his stint in the navy, he hasn't lived more than an hour from this house.

Currently live about 400' from the house I was born and raised in. Left home two weeks after I turned 15 and traveled all over the world, lived about a year in Montana, a year or so in the Arizona/New Mexico area, thirteen years in southern Missouri then moved back to the family farm and I'm here to stay. I spent half of my adult life trying to get as far away from here as possible without resorting to space flight and now here I am right back where I started. Amazing how your thinking changes as you mature and get older.
Our family has been in this general area from the early 1800's onward.

One other weird thing... My great great grandfather was a second Lieutenant in the Mississippi vounteers. We was wounded in the leg during the early part of the war and was awarded courier status to be able to stay in the army and still serve. He served the rest of the late great disagreement attatched to General Sterling Price. About two years after my wife and I got married she started tracing her family tree and found out her great great great grandfather was General Sterling Price. And both of us are distantly relater to General Stand Waite. I thought that was pretty weird.

I was born in the south tip of Texas. My family moved when I was 2 to Longview, then to Houston. As soon as I got grown, I fled the city for small town east Texas. Lufkin, Dibol (pronounced DYE-ball), back to Longview, Groveton and 26 years now in Livingston, population 5800. I love my small town. I can't see me ever living anywhere but Texas.
