Your hometown?

I might have posted this before but anyway. 

I was born here:

The streets in that city are so wide you can turn a truck around easily, no problem. 

I grew up here:

Trust an African to have two home towns instead of one.

Nothing much here. You can walk from one end of town to the other in about 15 minutes.
We do have some pretty bars,though!

I was born in East Orange, NJ (now, a shambles, maybe better than it was when I lived there decades ago).  I live in Monmouth County, very near the sea.

Those small houses are Bierkeller (beer cellar). That's where people keep their beer (in the cellar!). Bierkeller are privat, and are meant as a weekend getaway (to get drunk). Some have bedrooms and there's usually a kitchen and a bigger room for parties or for Brotzeit (traditional German "time for a savory snack")

The Hilltop Steakhouse (no longer in existence . . . but I think it was the biggest money-making independently-owned restaurant in the United States at one time).

The Adventure Car Hop (long gone)





The Kowloon Restaurant - Still in business. We had our 35 year high-school reunion there last November.

They tore down the restaurant, but the sign is still there. Sort of like a local landmark. They also tore down the Ship restaurant in Lynnfield.

My hometown is Louisville, KY. I was born here but moved away as a child and grew up all over, in Texas (a couple of tours), North Carolina, Delaware/Pennsylvania (a couple of tours). Back now, though it will never truly feel like "home."

We're famous for a horse race and baseball bats. Also as the birthplace of Muhammad Ali (and Hunter S. Thompson, and Jennifer Lawrence). More importantly, we're the capital city of bourbon country.
