Several years ago, I heard (radio) a sociologist say most people in the United States live their entire life within 20 miles of their birthplace. That's not to say that a person doesn't vacation far away or travel for employment, etc. The statement was referring to a persons permanent home and residence being within 20 miles. What about you? Are you still close to home or did you stray away?

I'm within 40 miles of my birthplace now but for most of my life I lived in the city I was born in
I live 33 miles from my birthplace.
My doctor today is located at the hospital where I was born.
I left home after high school and ended up living in a state back east where I graduated from Pharmacy.
My work then had me live in four other states, then off to Canada and lastly in southern Mexico.
Retired early from Pharmacy and came back to my roots to to start farming.
I enjoyed the east coast, the mid west, and even chilly AK.
Mexico was a blast, and I still frequent many parts of the main land and peninsula today... baja fishing is superb!!
I lived one year in Toronto, and could not wait to leave... sorry Canada.

I live about 400 miles away. The town I was born in has been taken over illegal aliens you can hardly buy groceries their without learning Spanish.
I am stationed about 230 miles away from were I was born. I am about 700 miles away from were I was raised. I'd actually like to live in the area I was born though. It is a decent area and more importantly I have a lot of family there. I'm planning on moving there once I get out of the military.
I was born in South Texas.
I don't want to live in:
...I just seem to keep finding places I don't want to live
:
I've zeroed in on South Carolina, way out in the middle of nowhere. The climate seems perfect for passive heating/cooling architecture and land is pretty cheap. I intend on putting together an off-grid homestead.
If I can't find it...I'll make it.
I don't want to live in:
- South Padre Island, TX
- Santa Ana, CA
- West Lafayette, IN
- Chicago (But I do love to visit)
- Canada
- Ft. Lauderdale, FL
- New York City
- Puerto Rico
- Charlotte, NC

come on down an set a spell Grevlin, thats why I am here now, stead of where i was born.... left there, and never looked back. as Thomas Wolfe once said, "albeit you can never go home again"
I live in the same state, but I plan to do a strategic relocation as soon as practical. That will put me over 1,000 miles away.
Lots of towns didn't even have hospitals or doctors years ago and people would drive 30 miles to go to one.
Im about 750 miles and that place was a crap hole...haven't seen it in 32 years....aint missed it either
I live within an hour of where I was born. I've traveled all over, but came to the realization that all places are pretty much the same.
Around 3333 miles as the crow flies and 4380 driving.
Can't wait to move back closer to where I grew up, but not directly in that leftist wacko land... Montana is looking promising.
