Looking over the driving thread got me to wondering where everyone is from. If thing has been done before then ignore it. It is my first visit to the Officer's Forum. I usually hang out in Starships. Anyway, I am in Salt Lake City, home of the Buy-Your-Own Olympics. Feel free to list your own home towns.

I am from an almost totally inconsequential, one-stoplight town in southwest Pennsylvania known as Perryopolis. Besides myself, the town's only claim to fame is the fact that it's original plans were laid out by George Washington himself, who owned a great deal of land in the area (later sold and/or given away), and hoped that it might be considered as a site for the capitol of the new nation. It wasn't, unfortunately, as the nearest river proved to be unnavigable at the time. Washington later granted a large slice of land near Perryopolis to my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, who helped survey the boundary between Virginia and Pennsylvania, as payment. Parts of the family still live there. Oh, and it's name used to be Washington's Bottoms, until a victorious Commodore Perry stopped by on his way back from Lake Erie, and the honored local yokels renamed the place. *end history lesson: Thanks, Grandma*

I reside not too far away from Baloo, actually. Lubbock, Texas, the city in the middle of nowhere. Only thing around our city is farmland, and the occasional tumbleweed.
