Actually I know a few people I went to high school with who still live in their parent's houses.KCMax wrote: Did you get the Homer Simpson award at your HS reunion for "Fewest Miles Moved Since High School"?
Born in Detroit. In the not so good part of town. Lived in Independence briefly, then Blue Springs for all of childhood. Moved to Overland Park for high school. Have lived in Columbus, OH, Lawrence, KS, and Washington DC before moving to Roeland Park.
By the way, I don't like the condescending way you phrased your reply. I choose to live where I currently live. This doesn't make me some kind of moronic Homer Simpson type.

Re: Where are You From?
Good Lord! I'm glad y'all read and travel and are a fairly broad-minded bunch, because based simply on where you were born and have lived, one could make the judgement that this could be the most narrow-minded group of people in respect to your world view because it seems that most of you have never lived outside of the Midwest/Greater Kansas City Area! Nothing wrong with liking and staying in the region in which you were born. Kudos.
