    Born and raised in a very small town in South Jersey for eighteen years. The Army moved me to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma for two years, then college on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, then to Towson, Maryland for work.

    I also was lucky enough to have lived in London, England for six months while in school (Here's a secret: The EPL sucks. So does English support :eek:).

    Damnit - Can't someone from Rockland County just say what town, village, hamlet they are from?

    This is how a typical conversation goes:

    I am from Rockland County.

    Where is that?

    About 30 minutes north of NYC.

    Is that Westchester?

    Other side of the river.

    New Jersey?

    Above that. Ever hear of the Palisades Center (when I was a kid, the Nanuet Mall was the reference point)?

    Yes.

    I am about XX minutes/miles from there.

    Oh. I think I have cousins from there.
