    Upstate New York will always be home for me (although I'd like to check out other parts of the country to see if they compare.)
  • shan · 1 year ago
    texas (although, california feels more like home now)
  • Davis · 1 year ago
    Atlanta has truly become home for me & I didn't think it ever would. I remember feeling like that kid standing by myself in the lunchroom wanting to sit at the "cool kids table." So though I'm not from here, I can call it home now....I think the relationships that finally went deep made it home.

    I love Patty B!
  • mike brennan · 1 year ago
    Staten Island, NY will always feel like home to me, as I spent a good 30 years of my life there. Long Island, NY is home now, though. yeah I swapped one island for another, all while staying in NY.

    I consider both Michigan and Oklahoma to be home. Flesh and blood family in Michigan. Friends that feel like family in Oklahoma. Since it's summer, though...my heart hurts for Michigan. I really miss it right now. =(

    Baton Rouge, LA, baby. No place like it. I live in Florida now, but Red Stick is mine.
  • Kris Sorensen · 1 year ago
    Northern Iowa & Southern Kansas, currently East Central Indiana... I've always wished California was home... no such luck though.

    grew up in beautiful Romania. far from where i am today. as of 2000 ATL has become home and we love it!
  • Robin · 1 year ago
    I'm jealous that you stopped by the church office today. Had I known, I would've made sure to be there.
    It's been WAY too long Carlos! I seriously miss you dude.

    Next time you want In-N-Out company...I'm down. Hope you're loving your So.Cal. time.

    Oh, and 'home' for me is So.Cal. Riverside to be exact. Everytime I come back from anywhere overseas, my parents take me straight from LAX to In-N-Out. There's just something about it. :-)
  • Emily · 1 year ago
    I love the idea of home. I wrote about it a while back. There's comfort there.

    what a complex question...
  • Adam Hann · 1 year ago
    Good 'ol Pennsylvania. I did do a lot of growing during college out in Indiana, and that somewhat feels like home...
  • Jules · 1 year ago
    I rep the lovely Bluegrass state of KY and am not afraid to admit it! Pics of my folks' beautiful property is up on my blog. I've been missing it lately.

    FL never felt like home. But, Cumming, GA is certainly a lot like home and we'll be here for a long, long time!

    I think anywhere there's a beach. it must run in the family. great grams lived on the beach in newport cali, grams lives on the beach at westport, it skipped a generation with my mom, and I live at redondo beach (not ca). crazy? or is it just me?
  • Scott Fillmer · 1 year ago
    I always have a hard time answering that question, just for what you stated, it changes. So, in order:

    California
    Virginia
    Alabama
    New Jersey
    Florida
    Texas
    California
    Texas
    Kentucky
    Alabama
    Texas
    Nevada
    North Carolina
    Texas
    Colorado
    Alabama - present, and what we call home :)

    Baton Rouge Louisiana, been here since I was 17. Where I was raised, Okeechobee Florida, is the one place I never want to move back to.
  • ruthanne · 1 year ago
    oh that is such a loaded question for me. have lived in DC, VA, NC, PA then moved to Australia where I lived for 10 1/2 years then lived in DE, AL and now in Atlanta. SO i never know where to say. Home is where ever MY bed is - so i guess Atlanta is that - but i love Birmingham AL and Brisbane Australia will always hold a special place in my heart.
  • Robin · 1 year ago
    Southwest VA here too. Something about the smell of coal trucks... And the green mountains :-)
  • Jam · 1 year ago
    I've never lived in Cali but it's the only place I've ever felt at home. I live in Atlanta but I can't say I've ever felt at home here. It's just a city to me. However when I'm in Los Angeles I feel completely alive and filled with possibilities.
  • Kelly · 1 year ago
    I grew up in Lincoln, NE and moved here (Muscatine, IA) ten years ago. I still think of Lincoln as home, but Muscatine is becoming home more and more.
  • Linda Sue · 1 year ago
    Heaven is my home but until then - Texas - north central Texas just west of DFW.
  • C.C. aka LorelaiCC · 1 year ago
    we don't really have a "home". I guess we consider Texas as a state as our home, but we don't really have a particular city we call home.
  • Patrick · 1 year ago
    what was that lyric...
    "if home is where the heart is then my heart is where you are.."

    My heart is in Ohio. Which, also, is where I spent the first 20 years of my life. Now I call Missouri home. Sort of. Ohio is still what I refer to as "back home"
  • yeidy · 1 year ago
    PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!
  • Chelsea · 1 year ago
    San Antonio is home with a capital H. Go Spurs Go!
    I lived for 18 years in LA, but the only emotional connection I have to that town is In-N-Out Burger.

  • nate davis · 1 year ago
    Home is Charleston, SC, although I'm about to reside in Charlotte, NC in about 2 weeks...
  • vagabondrunn · 1 year ago
    Home has always been and still is Muncie, IN for me. However, I'm hoping I'll have that feeling you got going to California here soon, when I pack up my things and head out east to South Carolina to being a new work in my life.

    Corpus Christi, Tx. My husband and I lived here for 9 years and then we went back to our hometown for a year and it no longer felt like home. We are in CC and loving it! It is all about the relationships! Well, that and the beach.

    born in suburban NY, back east always feels like home..cape cod, etc
  • Becky · 1 year ago
    I grew up in Louisiana, but have lived in Texas and Oklahoma. There are nice things about DFW & OKC, but Louisiana will always be home to me.

    I remember my first white Christmas in OKC. I called my mom back home and said, "Mama! We've got a white Christmas!" Her response...."That's nice, dear. My azaleas bloomed this morning."

    Yep. No place like home.
  • Norma · 1 year ago
    Home is an island off the west coast of Canada. Used to be Toronto but the winters were too cold and the summers too hot. My bones will turn to dust here and I hope my children never leave.
  • Lita aka Grandma · 1 year ago
    Home is California, we lived in ATL for 18 years. We kept coming back to California every year to see the family. Born in Monterrey, Mexico but never lived anywhere longer than in Atlanta. "Home is where your heart is" someone said, well my heart is where my family is and that is California.
  • mygirlzmomma · 1 year ago
    I'm with John in CO - the mountains of NM and CO have my heart and are waiting for me to come to my senses, move away from Florida, and come back to reclaim it. For now, "stuck" on the sandy beaches of SW Florida....a short detour/extended vacation. God made the ocean, but he resides at the top of mountains over 5000ft. (I think that's in Joel, somewhere).
    Rocky mountain HI-IIIIIIGH (my lame attempt at singing John Denver through type).

    SoCal. No question.

    Especially North Orange and South LA counties.
  • Steph · 1 year ago
    I never would have thought that I would ever want to call Nashville my home ever again. It's mainly where I grew up and where a bulk of my family live, but I have been content here in Knoxville for the past 8 years. God recently called me back there and my husband there for the 1st time...and although it is a scary process for us both to leave our brand new house that we just finished and bought a year ago...as well as packing up our infant daughter...I am excited about the move and I really feel like Nashville has been mynhome all along.
  • Mark Thomas · 1 year ago
    Los,

    Hmmm . . . I aspire to make the world a footstool(home) but so far GOD has me planted in SoCal.

    They both feel like home... in that proportion.

    2570 River Oak Drive in Decatur; my parents have lived there for almost 19 years. I think I'm one of the few people for whom home is a place. Kinda cool, really. :-)

  • Kristiapplesauce · 1 year ago
    South Africa is in my blood. But when I get on US soil and hear people that sound a little like me...anywhere in the US can be called "home"...give me some Starbucks and I will sell you my soul, but just a little :)

    Anyway, home is FL now. Anytime I go anywhere else I cannot wait to get back to Florida.
  • kacie · 1 year ago
    for me, home is a fluid concept.

    home is wherever i am.
    im still not sure if that is a good thing or not...i just know that it was a long process to become comfortable with that idea.

    the only place that gives me any sort of "home" feeling is portland, or.
  • Chadwick · 1 year ago
    33 years home was Chattanooga, TN - but my little town of Dacula, GA is definitely home now.
  • clowe · 1 year ago
    Currituck, North Carolina -- population...not many! Closest major city...Norfolk, VA. Best feature...city to the north, beach to the east, farms in the middle...low taxes, open spaces, water all over the place.
