Your Home Town and Where You Live Now

[Terry L. Wildcat]

Newport/Lexington, Kentucky (30 years) and Louisville, Colorado (31 years) and much to the locals dismay I remain a Kentuckian since birth.

[surveyor]

Hmmm

Born in Leitchfield, raised in Louisville (16 years) and Mt. Washington (8 years).
After having bumped around Elizabethtown and Louisville for a few years, I've called Mt. Washington home now for the past 14 years.

[capcat]

Born in Paris Kentucky, and lived there for just a couple of weeks short of 12 years. I've lived in Austin, Texas since then.

[BowlingGreenUKGrad]

The hometown is a little spot called Mouth Card, Kentucky. Lived there for 18 years until I went away to UK. I've lived several places in between, but am currently residing in beautiful Russellville, Kentucky since just before Thanksgiving.

[UK78ALUM]

Born in Birmingham. Family originally from Wilsonville Alabama in the early 1800's.

I've lived in every time zone in the US twice, Eastern and Central three times.

I've lived in Lexington off and on (more on than off) since 1969 when IBM moved my Dad here but still don't consider it home. Our current house in Lexington is my 18th house (5 with my wife, 13 with my parents).

[Ukosumu]

Born in Fort Wayne, IN
Grew up in Payne, OH (Home of the Wayne Trace Raiders)
Currently reside in New Haven, IN
Mom and Dad were both raised in Red Bird, KY.

Put all the above together and I believe that makes me a true HooBuckabilly!!!! :icon_biggrin:

[cumberlandredskin]

I was raised just outside of Cumberland in Harlan County. I now live in Sterling,Va, a suburb of DC. My 18th anniversary of living up here is coming up the end of this month. I can't believe I have been here this long.

[UKcat]

I was born in Boston, Kentucky in Nelson County. I moved to Bardstown when we married and lived here almost 35 years. I didn't stray too far though; the towns are only 13 miles apart!

[matt colvin]

My hometown is Paintsville, Ky. I currently live in Lexington the majority of the year as a student at UK.

[BOURBON TOWN CAT FAN]

I was born in Lexington and lived there through college.
I also lived in Uinjongbu, S. Korea; Toko-Ri, S. Korea; Schweinfurt, Germany; Columbia, SC; Sierra Vista, AZ and currently Bardstown, KY.

[Matt Dillon]

I spent the first seven years of my life in Harlan Co., Ky. We then moved to Corbin, Ky. where I've lived all the time since then. I'm 63, so Corbin is home to me.

[trublu]

I grew up in a little community called Gatliff. It was once a mining town, between Williamsburg and Middlesboro, Ky. For those of you old enough to remember Patricia Neal-she is from this tiny place.
I spent four wonderful years in Richmond at EKU. I had a professor that used to call Madison County 'God's Country'. I'm inclined to agree with him.
After school, I lived a couple of years in Dayton, OH. I have a lot of relatives there. Then, I got homesick and moved to Corbin for a couple of years, then I moved to Lexington and was there for eight years. I miss Lexington. I loved living there. I had some great friends and thought it was so beautiful. I got a promotion and moved to Carrollton, Ky.
Then life brought me to Bowling Green, where I eventually got married and had my daughter. I have been here ever since-around 18 years now.
It seems that there are always little interesting tidbits of information about every place that one lives, and there are good people everywhere. The best boxed chocolates that I have ever had are made in Dayton, OH. I still order a box of Esther Price every now and then online-absolutely delicious..
I didn't know until I moved to Bowling Green that it is home to Duncan Hines and John Carpenter. I have met John Carpenter a couple of times. He is pretty much a very private person. He does tend to bring up names of towns and places around this area in his movies.

[DenCat]

Born and raised in Louisville, left for 11 years, been back for 13. Even thought I live here, and was raised here, I'm not sure I would call it home. I haven't found a place yet where I would like to call home.

[Blue Heaven]

Born in Louisville. I grew up around the Okolona/Fairdale area. I now have lived in Mt. Washington for going on 6 years.

[HOMEYCAT]

Born at Old St. Joe's on Second Street, Lexington. St. Paul's Grade School, first graduating 8th grade class at Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, Lexington Catholic High class of '67. On to Xavier here in Cincinnati...
Then to Manhattan, to Brmingham, to Anchorage, to L.A. for 16 years and back to Cincinnati.

Go Knights ...Go Muskies, but mostly GO BIG BLUE! :thumbup:

[justacatsfan]

Born in Farmville, VA because Appomattox didn't have a hospital. Early years were in Grundy, VA, latter teens in South Boston VA.

After UK lived all over the southeast but call Louisville home again.

[catman4life]

I was born in Quantico, VA...lived in NC & SC until I was about 6...then the parents got divorced and we moved to Harlan(community of Cawood, actually)...lived there until I graduated...joined the USAF which took me to San Antonio & Dayton...then civil service took me from Somerset(where Mom moved to when I graduated) to TN and now to Jamestown, KY.

Hooplehead.

[justacatsfan]

When were you in Grundy? I went to junior high and high school there. I graduated in 94.

I lived in Buchanon Co from 81-88. Dad was head football coach at Garden and then Principal at Grundy Sr.

Was there when Greg Rowe was the FB coach and Jack Rasnick, I think thats his last name, was baseball coach.

Knew most of the football players and wrestlers from about 86-88.

[jkeller]

I was born in Cynthiana, grew up halfway between Cynthiana and Paris, went to Bourbon County high school. Then to Lexington to go to UK. I spent last summer in Florence, Italy for a Study Abroad program and am now back in Lexington.

[RxRusty]

Born in Paducah, KY. Lived there (actually Lone Oak) for 20 years.
Then on to Lexington, KY for 6 years.
Next, Augusta, GA for 24 years then moved across the Savannah River to North Augusta, SC for the last 2 years. I'm hoping to move back to Lone Oak when I retire in about 3 years. I love Western KY.

[Terry L. Wildcat]

Born in Paris Kentucky, and lived there for just a couple of weeks short of 12 years. I've lived in Austin, Texas since then.

Did you ever see or meet Kinky Friedman...two summers ago I was in Lake City, Colorado which is very popular with Texans and saw a Texas bumpersticker: He Ain't Kinky, He's My Govenor...and they ain't makin'...:icon_mrgreen:

[Jeff Craddock]

Jeff, when did you live in Montgomery?

When I was a kid--my dad was career Air Force and was stationed at Maxwell AFB. I was probably five or six at the time.

Jim, when did you live in Maceo?

[jwade]

Jim, when did you live in Maceo?

Oh.....many, many moons ago. Approx. 1958-1962 +/-. I was a baby. My father pastored the Baptist Church there. I'd not been back until 4 years ago. The Church celebrated its 100th anniversary in the spring of 2004 and I took my mother and sister back to reconnect with some very old, dear friends.

[Littlemeyer]

Born in Madisonville, KY.

Moved to Marion, KY at an early age and grew up there.

Went on a scholastic tour of the great state of Kentucky, which included stops in Campbellsville, Murray, and finally Lexington.

Ended up living in Lexington for a few years, then on to Birmingham, AL, for a few years.

Back in Marion now and will probably be here for a while considering my wife just opened an optometry practice. It's a small town (read: nothing to do), but it's a great little town and a good place to raise a family.

Matt, When I began carrying mail in Louisville, Colorado in 1980 I delivered to an old rascal miner from Harlan, Ansel Garrett...what a hoot he was even thought he was on oxygen. He would always ask me if I drank "scab beer" meaning Coors since they busted their union in the late 70's and he was always pleased to know I was in the National Association of Letter Carriers.
