Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago. Lived in Houston for a little over a year and came running home with a slightly darker skin complexion. I can not emphasise enough how little I like the heat.

Well I was born in Asheville, NC and raised there till I was 14 then I went to Waynesville, NC, then to Black Mountain, NC.
I've lived in Pittsburgh PA, several cities in West Virginia, Indiana, Key West FL, Roswell NM, Albuquerque NM, And now I'm stuck in Texas... for now.... There may be somewhere else I am forgetting... But I forget.

LOL! I was born in northern Indiana, raised in Kentucky, Germany, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. I lived in South Carolina for two weeks. I spent 20 years in Virginia as an adult. Now I'm "back home again in Indiana" and expect to spend the rest of my earthly life here.

Most of my childhood memories of Christmas are of sunny days in Florida.

Sorry! I wasn't paying attention. I thought Jinglebelle posted those pics and they didn't look like Texas. You're from Ohio. I'll try to remember that. I had thought you were a native of Virginia. I've been in your part of Virginia, not in your town though.

You must have lived in the northern half. You get down in Parke County and Brown County and further south and it's really gorgeous. These are the places we went on our second honeymoon.

I live in south central IL. To be specific I live in Centralia, IL. 62801

No it not near Chicago. It is 1 hr. east of St. Loius , MO and around 2 hrs. south of Springfield , IL- the capital.

The town is named after the Central railroad company. That was one of the big industries in the town.
