I grew up in a small town/in the country of the PNW…

I liked it enough I suppose, just wish there would have been more options… like art classes for example.

My dad was military for a while and we moved a lot when I was a small kid,

But after he retired, we went back to his hometown.

A small town in the deep South.

I went to some of middle school and all of high school there.

Interesting place.

i grew up in a small town, 15k people, 20 miles away from cincinnati, ohio. lots of parks,lots of economy, think casinos, strip malls, power plants. it was a lot like the suburbs i guess. some nicer neighborhoods and now the downtown area is being revived. i rarely go back there except to go grocery shopping or go to the hospital. we also had a whiskey distillery and some days the town would smell like a doughnut haha.

I started in the city. It was full of crime and I hated it. Then we moved into a suburb and I liked that a lot better.

Early childhood and half of elementary school pretty close to the north pole… You could fit several countries between us and the nearest actual city.

Then suburbs, sort of, in a much milder climate. Then city since I turned 18.

my hometown was right on the stateline bordering both ohio and kentucky, i used to walk 20 miles to downtown cincy and get on a greyhound bus to anywhere in the country i wanted to go see. i miss my little adventures, but got in a lot of trouble in that place, very heavily policed neighborhood, and they would always pick me up when i was out walking along the roads haha, because i stopped driving for 5 years and walked everywhere.

My dad was Air Force, so we moved every few years. But most of my life I grew up in a town of about 60,000.

The city has gone to pot with drugs and whatnot, so I moved out to the country which is where I always wanted to be, and I couldn’t be happier here

Grew up in a quiet neighborhood… There was a horse racing track nearby and I was around 30 or so minutes from the beach.

I grew up on US Army bases in the US and around the world. We moved every 1 to 2 years. My dad retired from the Army when I was 12 years old and we settled in Las Vegas, NV for 5 years. When I was 17, my family moved to Omaha, NE, where I live today. It is the perfect sized city. Not too big, not too small.

I spent 1 - 6 years old in a small town. My first grade year at school I had a reciprocated crush on this girl. She was bold. Sometimes I think we could have been lifelong sweethearts. Sometimes I wonder where she is and what she is doing. Then my family moved to a larger town on the other side of the state. Most of what I went through there was kind of painful. I existed in a dream world. I functioned pretty well until the anxiety hit when I was fifteen.

I grew up in a town that has always been wealthy but has become increasingly wealthy over the years. Never really wanted to be there :grimacing:. Grass always greener on other side. Think I would’ve fit in more at my cousins school for example. Always have this image of me being a sweet little boy in an inner city playing dodgeball and four square and everyone liked me. It’s just a fantasy image.
