What city did you grow up in and where would you have wanted to grow up in?

[a blinkin]

Thought you were born and raised in/around your current location only for about a decade now.

nah.

I’ve been living in Atlanta long enough to damn well be “from here”. But I moved here in high school when my moms got a job transfer. Moved at 14; I’m 30 now. This year officially made it so that I’ve lived in Georiga longer than I lived in NY.

Atlanta is dope IMO. I'd rather live there than in charlotte (where I am now).

 

[boxer15]

Arlington, VA.

Within DC proper or NYC would’ve been cool within the states.

Outside of the states, would’ve been cool to grow up in Bangkok.

 

[kicks2024]

Where: Metro ATL
Where I wanted: If you asked when i was younger, prob somewhere in Cali.

Glad i grew up where I did. Wouldnt change it

Facts. Took me a while to appreciate Atlanta. Was trying to convince my mom to let me move back with my family back home. But I’ve grown to love this place. The culture, the black community, the job opportunities, the cost of living... yeah, man. Not mad at my mom at all for moving us down here.

I try to visit NY twice a year. As much as I miss the place, I couldn’t fathom going back to live there.

DC is too embedded in me, I couldn't imagine actually living anywhere else.

MAYBE Miami... But aside from tropical weather, there's nothing anywhere else can offer that the district area can't. (besides cheaper housing)

Born in The Bronx, raised in The Bronx. I wouldn't want to grow up anywhere else.

 

[xxpizzo]

born and raised in South Philly

[hennessy beach]

Grew up in westchester county (suburbs of NY)

Always wanted to live in harlem, which is where I live now.

 

[Mark Antony]

Houston. Wouldn't change that.

Was born and spent my formative years in Queens, NY. LeFrak City. Spider-Man became my favorite superhero the minute I could read and put two and two together and still is to this day because of Queens. I can probably tell you every episode of The Nanny because of Queens. I’ll put War Report, Illmatic or Get Rich or Die Trying in any conversation of top 10 hip hop albums because of Queens....

But then me and my family moved down to Atlanta during my pre teen years all the way til now where I’m still at. I experienced life in Atlanta. The current epicenter of pop culture. Never wanted to be anywhere else. Blessed.

I haven't traveled much. Vice City Miami seems like heaven though.

 

[dexterwiggle]

Bronx , tremont/west farms
Would not change it, lived in a good building surroundings were crazy tho

 

[jville819]

Born in Jacksonville, raised in the surrounding suburbs. Still trash

Went to college in Asheville NC, I love that place . Outside of growing up there I’d love to have grown up anywhere on the east side of the Sierra’s. Belize would be a dream, mainly for the fishing

Vallejo, CA

hmmm. Love the Bay. Maybe would have been nice to grow up in Oakland. Outside of that NY would've been cool

I am moving back To Ac in 2 weeks.

Mpls. Great place to grow up. Grew up by a park so it was hockey all winter and soccer, basketball and baseball otherwise.

High school was the ****. Parties on smash every weekend.

Living in Orlando after college was also the ****. Dimes everywhere.
