An abiding curiosity of mine is this: where are people from? Myself, I currently live in the Midwest of the United States, though I've also spent time abroad in China and in the southwestern United States.

Hey! My significant other is from California, and I hear no end of how great it is. (Which is probably true.) I should say, I'm grateful for your wine country, and I hope you guys survived the forest fires. Have a good one.

I hail from Eastern Pennsylvania, and while I've resided in this area all my life, I am decently traveled as well, and have moved around the area some 13 or 14 times.

Hello! I have a friend who also hails from Pennsylvania (though the Western portion), and another who is pursuing his doctorate there; I've therefore been in the state a few times, and happen to find it among the most beautiful in the country. The word "sylvan" (as per the name) barely begins to describe it. My friend's family is part of the Pennsylvania Dutch community, and so he is fascinated by the traditional aspects of that cultural group. Perhaps you're familiar with it, as well?

Glad to have you back on the forums after the move, Wombat!

Nice! That's a state I've always wanted to go to, but haven't yet.

Wisconsin is also a beautiful state, with plenty of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture :D
