I was talking with a co-worker who's lived in 23 different locations throughout his lifetime, and I have only lived in two (technically three if you count two different cities in Minnesota). I was born in the Twin Cities, grew up in Grand Rapids MN), and lived in Las Vegas when I was 18. Now I am back in the Twin Cities.

How many places have you lived in? What are they?

uh... man, let's see:

Hollywood, CA
San Juan Capistrano, CA
Edison, NJ
Great Lakes/Waukegan, IL (x2, apt, bigger apt)
Pensacola, FL (x3, apt, apt, military housing)
Norfolk/Va beach, VA (x3, crappy apt in Norfolk, Military Housing in Newport News, House in Norfolk)
Hillsboro, OR
Vancouver, WA

so... 8 places, 13 homes. Not quite as impressive as 23 I guess, but I think I'm in the game.

Nanisivik, Baffin Island (now part of the Territory of Nunavut).
Pine Point, North West Territories. (town no longer exists).

Wow! Really?

I've been obsessed with that area, as well as Greenland, since I was a child reading about these places in the encyclopedia.

Once I find a wife and true love and make a few bucks, I intend to move to the far north of Canada, or to Greenland, or to the wilds in the Finnish Arctic.

Well, I was a kid. I really don't remember much of anything about Nanasivik. I DO have some memories of Pine Point, but, like I said, it's no longer there (the mining company owned the town. When the mine shut down, they took everything...and I mean EVERYTHING. I guess they went so far as to actually carve up all the road asphalt).

I have actually gone back up North since, just to travel. It's actually not too bad, weatherwise, if you go in the summer months, though it's not like you can EVER go in shorts and a t-shirt, or anything like that. :D

Wow...

Born in Baltimore, Maryland (technically Halethorpe, but I doubt anyone but Oriole^ has ever heard of that)
Moved to Somerville, Massachusetts at age 5
Moved to Ashland, Virginia (allegedly) at age 11
Spent six months in Federalsburg, Maryland (I wonder if even Oriole^ knows where that is) at age 17
Moved back to Ashland, Virginia after I got married
Moved to Massaponax, Virginia at age 20
Moved to Coraopolis, Pennsylvania at age 22 to finish my degree
Moved back to Massaponax for six months at age 25.
Moved to Lyells, Virginia for four years.
Moved to Montross, Virginia for a whopping six weeks.
Moved to Tappahannock, Virginia, where I have lived since 2006.

In the very near future, I will be moving to a very nice piece of riverfront property (assuming the present meteorological unpleasantness doesn't drown same) in Kennard, Virginia. Unfortunately, there's nothing but a lot of very wet pine trees on my 3 1/2 acres at the moment.

Why not Scandinavia, like Filihok? Gotta be great, he's always on about it!

I believe the Finnish Arctic is part of Scandanavia.

And Greenland is part of Denmark, technically a Scandanavian country.

Didn't know that it was a competition, Rick...if it was, I think that the "victory" might go to a Military brat ...or to an aged immigrant, maybe...
