How many of you still live in your hometown?

[melodie_a]

I do. I have moved a whole 400 feet from my childhood home. LOL My parents live next door and we couldn't be happier here. I love having grandparents for my kids so close by. My kids get to walk around the yard with grandpa and dig in the garden, or just walk around and with him lookin at stuff. That is priceless. That is also the reason we ended up with chickens in the first place, because grandpa says "yes" when mommies and daddies would say "no"

I have lived for nearly 70 years within 20 miles of the place that I was born. Hard to believe, but there are beautiful rural portions in the state of New Jersey. We live on 11+ acres nicely isolated from the rest of the world; however, I don't know how much longer I can afford the taxes. We have lived in our present home since '65. If I am alive on the day that I leave here, it will be with tears in my eyes and pain in my heart.

Not me, but my sister has lived in the same house with my folks for 47 years! Same phone number too!

Wow! I thought you would have more people say that they did live near their hometowns! I live in the same county I was born in and have never lived anywhere else! My kids were born in the same hospital that DH, grand parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents and I were all born in. I have recently (last 3 years) moved "out in the country" which is less than 30 minutes from that hospital, and my family thinks I'm too far away! Our town is not too small, about 100,000 people and a college town - home of The University of Alabama - Roll Tide! I grew up here, completed college here and work here. I am nearly 50 and my dad is nearly 90! Now that we have some land (23 acres) I hope my children will raise their families here as well, I mean, where would they go that would be better? Hometown life is good!

I do. Unfortunately. But at least I live way out in the country and not in town.

I live in the same town, same road but the house next door. My parents live one one side and my grandparents on the other. One of my aunts lives across the street and another lives a mile down the road.

I guess you can say I do. I live in the same parish just outside in a smaller town in the country. Never lived any where's else!!

Oh, heck no. I got out of Dodge a few months after my boss at the grocery store told me that if I went to college no man would ever want to marry me... in 1988. It's pretty there, but I much prefer living where people think education is a blessing, not a curse.
