Where have you lived?

Published on April 21, 2005 By Moderateman In History

I have wondered if Americans are a nomadic culture, I am 58 years old and here is where I have lived {for more than 30 days}

New York State
Washington State
Ohio
Michigan
Oregon
California
Colorado
Florida
New jersey
Japan
Vietnam {south}
The Philippines

How about you? Remember the rules 30 days or more as a resident not a visitor

I have only lived in MI. My ancestors founded my home town in northern MI. I never thought I would leave other than to go to college and come back. I started school in central MI then transferred to southwestern MI and have lived in the Detroit area for about 10yrs. I am certainly not nomadic.

Keep in mind I'm only 35. I also see a move sometime in the next few years. Possibly back into the Chicago area, or to Indiana.

New Jersey all my life. But, though it is a bit early to be thinking of this, college speculation may bring me to Pennsylvania, or Virginia.

I am married to the military. So I think that makes me nomadic whether I wanted to be or not. I am 33 and I have lived in Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, back to Ohio, Florida, back to Ohio again (I stayed with family while my husband was at bootcamp, A school and one deployment that's all the back to Ohio's) Maryland and now Texas. But I am the only one in my family that doesn't live in Ohio.

I am glad that I got to experience living in different places. My little sister has never lived anywhere but in our home town and that just seems so boring to me now. I guess there's good and bad to it. What kills me is the people who never even visit anywhere. I met a lady at the school that said she had never been out of Parker County and I really just don't know how that is possible. I mean at some point you have to have at least been to Fort Worth but she said she didn't need anything there - weird.
