Born in Sacramento, CA and lived most of my childhood on the ranch 40 miles north of there. Lived way up in northern Cali (gorgeous); Central Point, OR (nice place); Yakima, WA (yuck); and now live in the state that @Dee*Jay thinks is terrible. It's not. I love it. Beautiful mountains, gorgeous lakes, and nice people.
Deejay, you're from the 'Burgh too? Wow, small world!Born and raised in Pittsburgh, spent 2-1/2 of my teenage years in Idaho (gee mother, THAT was a good idea... NOT) before going back to Pittsburgh to finish high school, came to Chicago to go to college at Northwestern and have been here every since (with the exception of several months I spent in Kansas City (gee Dee, THAT was a good idea... NOT).

Do yinz guys still have the accent? I do!
I would imagine it would be a shock for a city girl.When you're thirteen and have always lived in a city, to be transplanted (for the purely selfish reasons of your mother -- but that's definitely a topic for another thread!) on top of a mountain it is indeed pretty terrible! But somehow I survived...![]()
