San Diego looks/sounds nice.

If I could ever get the money and be brave enough to do it, London sounds even nicer.

Back home to stay by looks of things. Moved back to help with my father who has some health issues after heart attack and stroke. My mother needed help so I sold my house moved back in. Gave up a pretty good daytime job and took a second shift job cause my mother works first shift. So its been pretty hard having to take care of a parent. In process of buying their house so they have one less worry. Once this happens im gonna add on and make it a duplex so i have my own side. I will still be able to help that way.

Nope, I'm in the town over. Don't really want to live in the town where I was born. It was nicknamed Hamiltucky..combination of Hamilton and Kentucky, now it can be called Hamilco. Combination of Hamilton and Mexico.

Nope. Grew up and went to high school in Youngstown and came to Cincinnati for college. Haven't moved back, and don't plan on it.

I live a block from the house I grew up in....2 streets away from my elementary school.

No reason really other than I knew I was staying in town, and got a nice deal on a foreclosure in the area out of college...Been here for 2 years.

Really depends on your definition of "grew up" - I was born in Minnesota, but spent K-6 in central PA. Then 7th-11th grades in Ohio, and graduated from HS in Wisconsin, before going back to Minnesota for undergrad. Now, living in Boston, I'm quite a bit away from all that but I'm moving to Chicago in a month and a half and will be a lot closer.

Were you always a Red Sox fan, or did that stem from your move to Boston?

Stemmed from the move to Boston. I followed the Twins, but mainly because of $3 ticket/$1 hot dog nights. Was never a big baseball fan until I came here, but my first year here was 2007 and I got totally hooked.

I don't blame you man, I have been to one game at Fenway Park, and the game experience there is superior to any other park I have ever visited. Love the postgame bar scene as well, I can see why becoming a part of Red Sox nation would be addicting.

When I went to college I used to miss home, but every time I go back I realize I hate everyone there.

No doubt, the atmosphere is awesome before, during, and after the games. Funny part of it is, I'm moving one El stop south of Wrigley in a month and a half, so I'll get to experience the atmosphere there as well. Should be fun to compare.
