Originally Denver, Colorado, then Omygod ... er... Omaha, Nebraska, hightailed it back to Colorado (Leadville, Boulder, Denver), and finally came to Boston, Massachusetts for Library School and stayed for employment.

People from Boston tell me I sound like I'm from the midwest, and people from Denver tell me that I sound like I'm from Boston.

OH what the hell, I don't mind typing it again, too. Born in North Dakota; raised in Colorado (Western slope) and Wyoming (the state); moved to Granville, MA, then Northampton, MA, then Mystic, CT; then, back to ole Why-Oh-Myn, soon to leave it, again!

Rabbitrunning...my ancestors settled in Boulder County and my bro used to live in Boulder. Did you have anything to do with the library there? We did a concert there three years ago last spring and he worked there at one time. Long before that, we used to go visit my grandparents in Denver.

My business partner back east had a degree in linguistics. It used to drive him nuts that he could not pinpoint what made a Colorado accent what it was...

I was born in Detroit and still have close ties to my French Canadian/Irish/German Detroit ancsestry, so I have a general idea of the location of Barrie, Ontario.
I lived in Wisconsin from the age of ten to 21, so that's what I call home.
I've lived in California since 1973, but I'm still a Midwesterner.

Rhode Island, birth to age 9 1/2. Suburbs of Washington DC (Montgomery County, MD), to age 21. Tulsa, Oklahoma to age 24. Maryland's little Antarctica (Garrett County), to age 37. Gradually moving eastward in West Virginia ever since.

I'm not crossing the Potomac, though. And since, right now, that's the only thing separating where I am from the state of Maryland, I guess I'm stuck in West Virginia (Shepherdstown).

I was in Barrie once... Spent a month around there when I was about 12. I don't know how beautiful it was. Looked like Minnesota. Even the frogs looked the same. Went to a truck pull or something like that. Most boring vacation of my LIFE.

I bet it's nicer than I remember.

But, and I say this for LH and hesperis, that area of Ontario had some of the most spectacular mullet-headed greaseball breeding grounds I've ever encountered ;)

Well, it's been a while so I will repost this. I live on Gun Lake, in the Yankee Springs State Game Area, nearest small town is Wayland, Michigan. Nearest large town is Grand Rapids, Michigan. Nearest very large city is Detroit or Chicago. Both are about the same distance for me. I was raised spending my summers and major holidays with family in the area between the wee villages of Parnell, MI (named for an Irish Patriot) and Grattan, MI (named for another Irish Patriot). Some of the county names in the state in which I live are Wexford, Roscommon and Clare. I guess I had better stop but the Irish influence in this state of the US is huge and I haven't even begun to tell you about it. Another thread.

I don't know about "mullet-headed" although I seem to have dated a few local greaseballs! They seemed to be rather red in the neck, too...
But you know, if LH cut his hair, he'd be a classic example of "mullet-headed greaseball". Caw, caw!!!

Parson....Welcome to the Mudcat!!! Are you gettin' rich or has all the gold panned itself out. (Been through there a time or two)

Yeah, I'll hit it again........I live in Bremen, Ohio, about 45 miles southeast of Columbus in the center of the state. I was born in Tuscarawas County over in the hills of eastern Ohio and moved to the 'burbs of Columbus at age 12. Went to Berea College in Kentucky and came back to the Columbus area. At age 30, I went to work for a company that moved me a lot and if I wasn't moving, I was flying around the country somewhere. In the process I lived in Somerset,KY--Chattanooga,TN--Cincinnati,OH--Charlotte,NC--Chicago,IL--Nashville,TN--Atlanta,GA....where I married Karen, quit, and came back to Ohio........How I wound up in Bremen is beyond me, but its a nice little town with lots of trees, brick streets, 12 streets altogether, no traffic lights, and a village oddball...which turned out to be me.
