I grew up in LA but have lived in New York for the past 11 years! So I'm on the complete opposite coast. I would say that most of the people I grew up with are still in the LA area.
What about you?
-
My family tends to scatter but all come back to the same spot. Currently we are all in the same town we grew up in. It's a cool thing too because my great grandparents met in this town in the 1930s randomly (she for school, he for thr railroad ) and somehow all our family migrated there.
-
Nope, I moved to Seattle about 6 years ago for a job. Most of my friends and family are still in the Philadelphia area.
-
Yes
-
yep
I've lived in the same suburb for 30 years now. For the first 2 years we lived inner city, but like classic migrants my parents moved out to the 'burbs so they could have a nice veggie patch 
-
I'm just over an hour away, so pretty close! Most of our family is still there so it's nice not being too far.
-
Not even close
-
I did up until 2012. My hometown is pretty sad now and I will never go back. Only my in-laws live there and they are actively looking for a house in a different city.
-
Nope- I'm about 5 hours from there. My parents still live in the same house. Most of my siblings are within an hour of them. It would be nice to be closer but I don't actually want to live there, just want less distance between me and them.
-
No. I grew up in TX/LA, and now I live in PA.
-
Yes. I lived in a couple different cities within our county growing up, and I am only 20-30 minutes away from all of them.
-
I'm just about an hr away
-
I'm about 75 miles from home, about 1.5 hours if no bad traffic. Soon I'll be about 20 from home. Right now it's important to us to be near family.
-
Not even close! I grew up in Southern California and now live in Louisiana.
-
Nope, but I am the closest I have been since growing up. We used to live on the opposite coast but now we live about 2.5 hours from where I was raised.
-
I'm about 2 hours away.
-
Nope, opposite coasts (almost).
-
Yes! I've never moved away. I will always live in my hometown I think!
-
Yup, I'm one town over!
I did live in New York after I graduated high school for one year, and I loved it- but missed my family. I sometimes think about going back though!
-
I live about a 4 hour car ride from where I grew up. I grew up in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, and I made the move to the large city about 10 years ago. I like it much better where I live now!
-
Nope, different state and a 3 hour drive away.
-
No but we live in my husband's hometown.
-
Yes! It was unintentional though. If I had my choice, I'd be out of here in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, it's not that easy and it'll probably be years before we actually make a move.
-
Not even close. I grew up in SD, I now live in Sweden. It's like another world.
-
Not at all, I live on another continent!
-
Yup!
-
I live in it, after having moved away over 20 years ago.
-
Nope, not close.
-
Yup, just moved back!
-
Nope, I grew up in western Canada (moved to a few different places), and then I moved to Toronto for school (where I am now). My family is all here now though (my parents grew up here) except my brother who's still out west.
-
Nope! Grew up in TN, spent 10 years in NYC and now we are in Philadelphia.
-
3 hours away.
-
I live a 10 minute drive from my childhood home in Pittsburgh! After school I moved to NYC, which is where I met my husband. After my mom died unexpectedly, we moved back to PGH in order to help/be with my dad and little brother. DH and I both ended up with good jobs here and the housing market is great, so we're still here 5 years later. Some days Pittsburgh still feels too small for me, but it's generally a great city.
-
Nope. I moved to another state but in the same region.
-
I live 20 minutes from where I grew up.
-
Nope, it's across the ocean..
-
Nope. I'm about 1000 miles south.
-
Yep, 20 min drive, my office is actually in the town I grew up!
-
Well I grew up in a town and DH grew up in a very small town. Right now we live in the nearest city that is 20 minutes away from both places, but we would like to move back there in a couple years.
-
Grew up in a suburb of Dallas and currently live in a different, but very similar suburb of Dallas
I've lived in the same suburb for 30 years now. For the first 2 years we lived inner city, but like classic migrants my parents moved out to the 'burbs so they could have a nice veggie patch
