Did any of you guys ever move from one city to another?

[SabresRule]

Some of us probably remember moving from a city we used to live in to another.

As most of you guys know, I was originally born and raised in Buffalo, New York.

My family lived there until we moved in the summer of 1994.

Believe it or not, the day we moved from frigid Buffalo to also-frigid Kenosha, Wisconsin was on July 13, 1994- a day AFTER the MLB All-Star Game (That was the extra-inning thriller in Pittsburgh, if anyone remembers).

Fittingly, my last memories of living in Buffalo involved sports, though not football or hockey (I never truly embraced baseball in my soul- I never had a team I could truly follow like the Bills or Sabres)

That's my story.

Any of you guys ever recall doing so?

Feel free to go the whole nine yards- why, where, sob stories, final goodbyes, etc.

Let's see, 5 or 6 cities growing up, 3 different places in the last city before moving out. And then, for me & ----8ball & others- service. Yeah, I think we've moved to a few cities/countries.

Guam is a wonderful place. 60 million Japanese honeymooners can't be wrong.

 

[Van]

Born in Pickney Michigan, moved to Ypsilanti Michigan a few years later then to Belleville Michigan for a few then back to Ypsilanti for a long while. Around 19 I moved to Athens Georgia for a year then out to Kansas city wich was a big mistake for 6 months then back to Athens for 5 months then back to Ypsilanti for the next 15 years then back to Athens for the last two years. During some of the above it was good while others were bad and two were to basicly save my life.

 

[LER]

I moved to Detroit in 1966 to go to work for the IRS and my family staid in Cincinnati until I could fine a place to live.
So after two weeks of being in Detroit I drove home over I75 on the weekend to see my family and what did I hear on the Cincinnati radio?
That my brother, who was the SDS president was arrested for assaulting a federal marshal I about drove off the road for I did not know how this would affect me but, of course, nothing happened to me. But is was a shock.

I moved from the Houston area to the Dallas-Forth Worth area in 1991 when I graduated from college. After 17 years, I still take joy in the loss of the Cowboys, Mavericks and Rangers. I don't give a hoot about hockey.

[riffjim4069]

Born in Detroit and live all over the metro area, joined the Marine Corps in '81, traveled to all 7-continents and lived in probably 23 states, retired in '01 and lived/worked in the Northern Virginia until last spring, company moved me to the Dallas area last year (like the area, but work is personally rewarding), may move back to VA since our house hasn't sold and my wife is making a whopping 28K with her two graduate degrees. I will be turning 46 this year and I would love to move back to Michigan (even with the crappy weather) since I really miss my family now that I am getting older....too bad the Michigan economy is in the toilet.

 

[navychop]

I suspect MI will be the last to recover. VA is hurting, but apparently not as badly as most other places. Our competitors are laying off people. Good for us, I suppose. Or a warning of what's to come.

I've stayed pretty much in the same county in KY most of my life, went to Lexington, KY to do some of my schooling at UK. But I've done temporary work and have traveled out of state and the US. I'm probably the only one in my neighborhood or town, to have "The Hockey Song" as a ringtone on my cell phone. When people hear it, they think it's cute. When I tell them what it's about... they're like "Oookayy... she must have been born up north."
