Where Are You From.?

Hi Folks...Just wondering if there's ever been a thread on where our members are from...?..Must admit with the culture wording of some of my threads, I know even some members from over the border ( England & Wales ) probably find me a hard one to understand sometimes..So if it's ok with the mods..Let me know...Just your state in America..not your home address..LOL..As in the UK...London..Liverpool..Manchester..etc...

Yay! I get to be the first Canadian to chime in! I live in Vancouver, BC which is just above the American/Canadian border (right north of Blaine, WA), about three hours north of Seattle.

I would love to see a map too. I wonder if you could create a digital one so you could share it with us all on here!

While I was born on an American Air Force base in the UK, my parents brought me home when I was 10 months old, and I'm a proud Southerner from North Alabama! Call me a hick, redneck, hillbilly... I suffer from a glorius lack of sophistication! If we dine anywhere more upscale than Liberty Tree Tavern, I get nervous and uncomfortable (just kidding, but not much!).

I was born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks on the rough and tumble streets of Brooklyn, New York, as scrappy as the day is long. My dad was a blues singer and my mom was a cocktail waitress and retired stripper. My childhood was violent and colorful. I went from truancy, to petty crime to the big house. Released on parole, I crossed the Verrazano Narrows to Staten Island, New York and settled there about 15 years ago, where I eventually started a very successful auto body shop/pizzeria with my wife's three brothers, Nunzio, Big Pauly and Medium Pauly.

Staten Island is to New York City, what Maui is to Hawaii. Except instead of beautiful beaches and mountains, we have medical waste strewn beaches and a garbage dump so big it can be seen from the moon with the naked eye. Otherwise, pretty much the same as Maui.
