How far do you live from your place of birth?

All-AmericanReject · Jun 30, 2004

hmm Only like twenty or thirty minutes...depending on how fast you drive.

My mother tends to scare me when she drives and I'm the 15-year-old.

TheDandyMan · Jun 30, 2004

This far *spreads arms apart*

Around a mile, I think. Ten minute drive.

Miss Mayberry · Jun 30, 2004

372 miles from Huntsville, AL (where I lived for 12 years) to Winston-Salem, NC (where I was born). Now, though, it's only 179 miles.

Gosh.. I don't know how many miles, kilometers, or arms-lengths away I am from my birthplace.

* the flight has several layovers, never direct. Usually takes about 19 hours. From my apartment to the airport where I greet my parents is usually about 24 hours.

* i'm on a different continent...

* right now it's the middle of the night. 3 am. uh-oh, time to go to sleep.

If you count the place where I actually was BORN (the hospital) I live about 2 miles away. If you count where I grew up it's about 20 miles. I'm just on a different side of town.

jesusfreak4888 · Jun 30, 2004

About as far across the country as you can get -
I was born in Bethesda, Maryland and now I live in Southern California.

California Dreamin' · Jun 30, 2004

Less than 10 minutes

Karate_Girl · Jun 30, 2004

TheThirdLink · Jun 30, 2004

My birthplace was Palm Bay, Florida.

I am about 3,000 miles away from it right now.

Same state - probably 45 minute drive.

Mom and dad still live in house they were building when I was born.

CDN Red Raider · Jul 2, 2004

1998 miles but the shortest road distances.

Skymon · Jul 2, 2004

About half an hour, fourty minutes.

Thithy · Jul 3, 2004

I live 1200 Km from my place of birth which is Adelaide.

Unlike Bevlina I do not need to say Adelaide, Australia, since I do not know of any other Adelaide in the entire world. Come to think of it, I do not know of any other place called Melbourne in the world. Bevlina must know something I do not.

How often do I get back there? About once every two years. Adelaide is like a small version of Melbourne and people in Adelaide sometimes go to Melbourne for shopping - a distance of a mere 800 Km.

I love going back there (to Adelaide) but I also love to get home here. I guess that leads to the question of what makes a place feel like your home - particularly if you have been born somewhere else and have lived a considerable portion of your life there.
