Answer 1

Which place did you enjoy the most? I was born in Ohio, lived in Florida from 9-18, moved hither and yon, settled in Utah for 2 years, Wisconsin for 3, and then on again. When asked, I say Florida because my best memories are there.

Answer 2

First of all it's YOU'RE as in the contraction of "you" and "are" not "your" possessive. Your Virginia "education" is showing

I say I am from the place I was born, even though I spent most of my life in a suburb of the city. I say this to northerners

To the natives of the dirty south I tell them the state in which I was born because most are too stupid to know the difference between a city, a state and a suburb.

Either way I'm not lying just having a laugh at the stupidity of southern natives

Answer 3

When I'm in Europe I say I am from Canada so I won't be embarrassed by being an American. It doesn't matter where you grew up, from what you state you are an American, (but tell people you're from Canada when out of the country).

Answer 4

Born and raised in Upstate New York and have now been living in New England for 6 years.

I live in New England but I will always be from Upstate New York.
