Do you still live in the same general area as you grew up in?

I live in the same state, but about 165 miles away.

Update: February 12, 2012.
Thanks so much for all your answers. I really enjoyed hearing everyone's points of view.

Yes.

I was born in Kansas, but we moved here when I was 6 years old. I still live about 35 miles from where I actually grew up. I do love this area, and it is home...but I'm going to be moving to another state soon. The state that my children chose to re-locate to. I feel like I will be moving home. Family is more *home*, than an area is *home*.

I guess "Home is where your heart is", really does mean something. :)

I guess

Yes and no. I grew up only fifty miles from here. On a farm surrounded by deep forest and water. Nearest neighbor was a mile away.

Now I live in a very densely populated part of Boston. Nearest neighbor's house is 35 feet away.

So even though close by miles worlds away by environment.

Yes I do. I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, and now I live in a suburb right next to the city, about 10 - 15 mins aways. I would never live in the city again, hated it! The whole area isn't that great, but I like the location where I am now, and all my immediate family is still in the area, so I will never move away. While my description says Buffalo, I do not live in actual Buffalo, and I hate that it won't let me put the real name of the town!
