Not only do I live in the same city I also lived in the same house after I was married. After I was married the childhood house went up for sale and we bought it. We have since moved into a different house but . The only reason we stayed here was for the school system. I can't wait to get out but have to wait for the economy to change first.

Born and raised in Toronto and still here 58 years later. There is a part of me that longs for the countryside though.

I live about 5 miles from the house I grew up in, don't think I will ever leave this area it seems! Kids all live near by too so why leave!

Grew up in a different city and state then where I live now. I still consider my childhood home as home, though.
