Childhood hometown , would you ever go back?
Many of us have moved away from where we grew up.
Would you ever move back to your hometown; assuming you ever left and why or why not? This was my backyard and I was a short drive from the Chesapeake bay, but still the answer is no. (Sorry Donn~E) |

My home town of Baltimore..............hell no, even in some of the surrounding counties............hell no.
I go back as little as possible, only when I have to, which now is usually a viewing/funeral.

Also a no, too cold and poor economic area.
Came close a few years ago as wife was trying to get a promotion and a transfer so she could be close to her mom and dad but glad it didn't work out. Not saying I won't be there taking care of elderly family but I won't be selling this place. |

Small town of Sulphur Springs Tex. I go back to visit my Mom and what relatives are still around, but hell no ! Growing up there is the reason I joined the USN. To escape.

Shit hole and I have never been back for more than 3 days at a time to see Mom. Central Illinois is horrible unless you are a meth dealer. |

No, primarily because it's located in Illinois (Bloomington/Normal) and Illinois sucks ass. Completely ruined by the Chicago machine politicians.

I never left. I liked where I was raised. Not a lot of people. And for the most part they are good, friendly, hard working people. Open spaces. Traffic isn't bad. Although there are a bunch of them that can't drive.
Also in the middle of the country, so it quick and easy to go other places. |

I would, it was a nice village to grow up in....I know the demographics have changed there but there are still nice areas,most homes 100 to 150 years old.......I think the taxes have gotten a bit out of control like just about everywhere else but.....yeah I would look into it.....

I grew up mostly in West Orange, NJ. Nice enough that I wouldn't mind living there again (several of my HS classmates still do), but the taxes are outrageous now.

Grew up in Draper Va. A wide spot in the road in the mountains of SW Virginia. Will never go back there to live. I barely go visit anymore now that my Mom is gone.

I did.
After HS, took off for Upstate NY to attend College. Stayed for 10 years. 36 years ago, got an opportunity to re-locate back in the hometown area, and took it. Not exactly to the city I grew up in, but a suburb of it. |

To my birth town NFW. I go back to where the parents live every fall to visit family and hunt... once my parents pass I probably won't go every year but there are still relatives there I would want to see.
