Where did you grow up?

Fremont,California for me.

(The OG Hollywood as I like to call it)

What about you?

Beverwijk, Netherlands.

It's the town what shared the same name as Albany (NY), before it was called Albany. That's about as interesting as it gets with this town lol.

Tehran.

Born here, grown here, gonna die here.

Chicago, Illinois.

My ancestors knew someone who had ties with Al Capone.

Melbourne, Australia. Holla at me ;)

lol

That's god-damn epic

EDIT: What is this I am reading about moving the capital? Why on Earth...

Lisbon, Portugal.

The sky in this photo is so unbelievably clean =P you know we got air pollution all year long , very few days in a whole year when the pollution is below the standard limits (these goddamn vehicles...).This photo must have been taken in one of those days, given the snow on the Mount Damavand.
That's the Milad Tower right there, the tallest structure in the country.There's a super fancy ,super expensive ,super exotic restaurant right on its top (note the spherical figure on the top of the tower) I plan to take my squeeze there for dinner someday =P who knows =P

The removal of the capital has everything to do with the infamous air pollution.Though it's not likely anytime soon.They just say they might do it.

Oslo, Norway...

Yeah we who are trying to decide if we are going to apply for hosting the winter olympics in 2022...

Derby - UK

Jakarta, Indonesia.

I wish the city was purged from corruption,high traffic and infrastructure problems..it could have had the potential to be a great trading city like Singapore if the "Corruption Cult" ceased to operate

Ada, Oklahoma

Allentown, Pennsylvania. (Billy Joel sang about us in his hit song "Allentown").

Haha that sounds exactly like the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. Looks a bit like it too. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw the above picture :P

Anyway, that air pollution thing sucks. I mean, if they are willing to relocate their capital to another place entirely just because of pollution, then that must be some shitty air....no offense, of course >__>

Prairie Village, Kansas.

For those who do not live in the U.S., that is the middle (Midwestern) United States.

Presidium Commons, Citadel

Rosehearty for the first 13 years, it's a fishing village that's been around almost a thousand years or so and then Sandhaven where I currently live, also a fishing village which is over a hundred and fifty years old or so.

I've always lived by the shore and always in rural areas

northern NJ suburbs

Toronto, Canada

San Juan, Puerto Rico.

same lol, except i was born in Shiraz, moved to Tehran when i was like 12.

Muncie, Indiana; U.S.

Ever run into Gary/Larry/Jerry and his family?

Alexandria

Las Cruces, New Mexico

That always cracked me up that Muncie was his favorite vacation spot. He even owns a timeshare in Muncie, though such a thing surely doesn't exist.

Muncie pretty well sucks.

Lol yeah , they got that in common ,Milad and Space Needle.Though I wonder which restaurant is more expensive ?! You ever been to SN ? how much does a dinner cost there ?! (Edit : I remember now you live in Tennessee , so you probably haven't been there.I haven't been to Milad either, but still ,It'd be interesting to know which one's more expensive =P )

The air is pretty goddamn shitty here, that's true.You'll be amazed to know that over nine thousand people died of NOx and PM10 in 2005 here.PM10 alone killed over six thousand in 2009.

@VaguelyTagged I always wanted to visit Persepolis in Shiraz.Never got the chance though.Hey Pouriya , I'm always at Vlieasr.Ave ,let me know if you cross paths with this avenue .You ,me and Hamid (@mjorh ) should meet in person and hang out someday !

My early years were in the city of Cali, Colombia, but then moved to the US and lived there for the later years of my childhood.

Born in Germany. stayed about a year

then moved to Scott AFB, Illinois. stayed for about 6 or so years.

then moved to Clearwater, Florida. stayed for about 3 or so years

Then moved to San Antonio, Texas. stayed for about 3 years

Then moved back to Scott AFB. stayed a couple years.

Then moved to O'Fallon, Illinois. stayed a couple years.

Then finally moved to our own house(built for us) here in Mascoutah Illinois.

My dad was in the Air Force, which is why we moved around so much. He retired when we were in O'Fallon. parents decided to stop renting and become homeowners, so they had a house built in Mascoutah.

Zanjan- Iran - Seeking desperately to find a way to get the hell outta this shithole !

@elkoldo Sure man !

Man you had such an epic adventure!

So which one u prefer ? moving or being in your own home ? :D

Man you're from the shithole too ....how u holding up? :D

@mjorh

i prefer being in my own home.

i hated moving. it would suck to make friends, then move, have to make new friends, move, repeat.

Yeah and u couldn't literally say this out loud " Home Sweet Home" !

I have never been anywhere near the Pacific-Northwest. I have hardly even been West :P

I Googled it. The average entree at the Space Needle restaurant is USD$44.93 .... O..O

I Googled how much it is at Milad Tower, but I couldn't get a clear answer.

@Kevlar101: You failed to get a clear answer probably 'cause you googled it in English :P I googled it in Persian, It's 98 thousand Tomans, which is, a bit more or less, equal to 35 U.S Dollars, with TODAY's Dollar price.I mean, before the sanctions and the following inflation - a few years ago -it would've easily equaled to 100 U.S Dollars.

So expensive, few people can afford that for a mere dinner.I also got hold of a few images from inside the restaurant, can't post them since I'm on the phone.I'll edit back tomorrow through pc and put the links here.

Growing up I lived in Texas, Florida, New York, California, South Carolina, New Mexico, Germany

Oregon, USA. Also, this is my first post in over 5 years! My how this place is changed yet so similar.

I was born in Fargo, North Dakota, but apparently lived in Moorhead, Minnesota across the Red River at birth. I spent about six months in Jamestown, ND, and then lived in Grand Forks, ND, until the Red River Flood of 1997. As a result, my mom and I moved back to Moorhead since Grand Forks resembled The Last of Us, just without the infected and hunters. We lived in Moorhead until August 2005; we moved down to the Twin Cities for better opportunities. We lived in Bloomington, the largest suburb in the metro (85,000 people) from August '05 to August '06. Since then, I've been living in Burnsville, a suburb of 61,000 people across the Minnesota River from Bloomington. This August will mark my eighth year living here. I remember when my mom and I first moved into our place in Burnsville back in '06. Holy crap, it's been almost a decade. O_O

At first I thought the thread said WHEN did you grow up?

In that case, I haven't yet.

Grew up in a now shithole suburb of Sydney where I spent roughly the first 7 1/2 years of my life (if was fine enough back then).

Been in the NSW countryside (living in and around the same town) for the last 20 years though.

How did your suburb become a shit hole?

@gamerguru100: Eh, just crime and such from what I've heard.

You don't really have to worry about getting shot since most firearms are illegal here, but of course there's still the drug dealers (not counting pot since you can find that everywhere) and wannabe thugs and what have you.

I'm glad to be living where I am anyway.

The Lake Tahoe-Reno-Carson City area.

New York. First Orange County and then Rockland.

Brooklyn, New York.

I grew up in North Kildare, Ireland

the mean streets of manchester, new hampshire

Everett, WA and then my family moved to Portland, Oregon before I went to middle school. Been here ever since.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

i lost that urge to leave this hellhole a few years ago. don't know why, probably cause i'm always frightened of changes or that i thought i'd never fit in and would probably end up even more depressed as an stranger.
