Title: They call me the wanderer
Post by: Rev. Powell on April 17, 2019, 07:41:53 AM
The "where were you born?" post made me want to make a list of all the places I've lived in my life. Lots of people stay in one place their whole lives, but not me!

Born: Louisville KY

As a child/teen I lived in:

Victoria, TX
Fayetteville, NC
Wilmington, DE
Orange, TX
West Chester, PA

College in Dallas, TX
College summers in Parkersburg, WV
Semester in Rome, Italy

After college:

Williamsburg, VA
Las Vegas, NV

Now back to where I started in Louisville, KY.

I'd probably like to retire in Mexico.

Anyone else move around a lot?

I've moved house on average more than every three years of my life.

Scotland.
Started in Glasgow, in a place called Maryhill (Parkhouse Gardens and then Maryhill Road).
Around 3 or 4 we moved to Cumbernauld.
8 or 9 we moved to Ardeer where we stayed until I was 12 when we moved to Hayocks (which involved 3 different houses), but that would then be my home area until I was 27 at which point I joined up and spent two years living in...

England.
Down there we had Halton in Cheshire, followed by Cosford in the Midlands, before I managed to escape back north of the border where pubs had longer opening hours. This brought me back up to...

Scotland
Lossiemouth (where I have had 9 different addresses), which was interrupted by 6 months living down the...

Falkland Isles.
The land of three colours and none of them interesting. After getting home we then went on a holiday and lived the states for two months (Utah).

Lemme see- Bronx NY, Wappinger Falls NY, Marlboro NY, Middleton, NY, some orphange in upstate NY, some foster homes in upstate NY.
Some town in Indiana-I can't recall the name.
Paw Paw Michigan, Lawton MI (which I consider home), Decuater MI, and Marcellus Mi.
Oh yeah, Liberty NY in 1979 (and the Bronx again!) and Shirley Long Island in 1984.
I live in Lawton, where I have been most of my life.

Funny, I've been to high school in Sulphur Springs, Texas, with a student exchange programme for 7 months when I was around 16 years old. I think that is around the corner from Commerce. Must have been around 1992.
