What Place in the US Would You Consider Your Own the Most, aside from your Hometown/Current Location?

1. I lived in Austin for a year, and I’ll always take that as a part of me.

   But, really, it’s Disneyland, and nothing comes close. I’ll come out and admit it: I’ve been there more than 30 times in my life, and its the place in which I dare to take all that it taught me and make it a part of who I am the most.

2. Harry Reid International Airport, place fucking sucks and the roads were designed by an ape making squiggles. But it’s my airport.

3. Cliche but I grew up in South Jersey and traveled to Philly very often (at least once a week) for various reasons.

   I am a fan of all the Philadelphia sports teams and am very familiar with the city.

   But I also stopped saying I was “from Philly” when meeting strangers in other states/countries.

   NYC became similar once I went to University (and we’d hang out/party there all the time) as well as when I started dating my now wife (who lived in Manhattan). But that place is so big and changes often that I can’t really claim to know it as well as Philly.

4. I lived in Atlanta for a decade, I miss living 10 minutes from downtown & an hour from the N GA mountains.

5. I live in Miami most of the year and New York in the summer. I would prefer to do summers in western North Carolina, perfect weather and nice people.

6. It might be Indianapolis thanks to my time in drum corps. DCI World Championships are held there so it’s the only city besides San Antonio that I’ve been to all four years I marched, and the only place where we stayed at the same housing site every year. Since it’s the culmination of the season there’s definitely a lot of strong emotions involved and drum corps was probably the single most significant and formative experience of my life, so that’d be the why, I suppose.
