My hometown...

Simple game. Find your hometown on wikipedia (if its there, if not find the nearest) and post up the article!

Re: My hometown...

Here you go! There is one notable error in the article though. We are the "Rose Capitol of the World!"

Eh... Where you can say you "grew up" technically I was born nextdoor in pekin. But I would call Marquette Heights home. Pekin was there for high school and trips to the grocery store and stuff.

Re: My hometown...

I guess I interpreted it as where I live (Virginia Beach) as that's my hometown. I left New York City, where I was born and grew up a lifetime ago (1984). In between I lived in half a dozen cities and towns in Massachusetts, the longest for just over 6 years. I never renewed my Driver's License at the same address as I got it in all my life, but it looks like I will break that streak next July. I've been at this address for a bit over six years as well (June 2002). The only addresses I was at longer were the two where I lived with my parents from when I was born until 1980 when I moved out into my own place.

The places I have lived:

OK, but Wiki didn't do it for me. That's just not the way I remember it, so I offer this substitute...

YouTube - Brooklyn, New York

Not really my music, but that's my town!

Re: My hometown...

Here's mine...where I was born. I don't live there anymore but not far. All my friends are still there.
