Where Is Everyone Originally From?

[Brody]

I started thinking about this when I realized that we have at least 4 people here from PA.

I'll start:

I am from Florida and LaDawn is a native. Her family were some of the original homesteaders back in the day. I think the original homestead cabin is still standing on a piece of property owned by her mom.

[Heather]

I'm originally from a village in SE Michigan (about 45 minutes west of Detroit). We moved to Boulder in the summer of '87, and I went to high school in Boulder for my Jr/Sr year. Talk about culture shock... Later, I reluctantly spent 5 years in Maryland ('04 to '08), found my husband, and we decided to move back here. Then we idiotically moved to Kansas in about '06, but only made it 10 months before we came screaming home to CO.

[Tom]

[ColoJeeper]

Colorado native as well...

[Java]

Born in the center of the universe- Brooklyn, NY, also lived in Staten Island and went to school in Buffalo; went to Miami Beach on spring break from UB and fell in love with florida, transfered schools and stayed a few years. I took a vacation to Telluride, it was life changing, I had never seen anything like Colorado before. I was a PM at MCI then, and when my contract came up for renewal I passed, moved to Denver instead and love it! This is a great city, great state. The only thing missing is a beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I envy the natives! (Actually, I wouldn't change growing up summering on the lakes, but hey - you guys have it great to grow up here, too!)

[Chris]

I'm glad I'm not a native! I know a bunch who've never been to 10% of the places I have and take it all for granted. Better growing up in the flatland to really appreciate the mountains here.

We moved to Sidney Nebraska when I was six, to a little craphole called Pleasanton when I was 12. When I graduated high school in '86, I bailed and moved to the greater Orlando area.

[Hypoid]

Born at St. Joe's in Denver, lived in an unincorporated area between Denver and Aurora.

When I was 19, I moved to Grand Island, Nebraska. Two weeks later, G.I. was hit by tornados. Six years later, I was married and divorced (three children :frown:), jobless, on the brink of homeless, and way too interesting to the local P.D. The mountians were calling my name. I have lived in the Denver-Metro area since.

I remember when being a Colorado native got to be something notable. I never thought it was special, I had dinner with nine other natives, every night. :D

[KnuckleHead]

doesn't that make you native'ish:D

I guess it would. I still see myself as a southern boy though.....
