Reply #25: I moved (or I should say was moved) here in 1977 when I was 7. [View All]

This is pretty much the only "home" I have ever known.

I grew up here, and my attitude for much of the time was "well it sucks, but it's home".

I am embarrassed to admit I am not well-traveled - my parents were not the type who dragged their kids all over the country on vacation, and since becoming an adult, I have really never had the money to travel and see what the rest of the world looks like, so I guess I just have never known any better.:blush:

This place has become much less tolerable in the past 5 years - I wonder why. :sarcasm:

I have one more year of school, and then I hope I can find a job in a more congenial city.
