What does your hometown mean to you?

Do you still live in your hometown? Proud to be raising your family in the place where you grew up?
Did you high tail it out of there at the first possibility and never looked back?
Do you return often and experience nostalgia?
What makes something a "hometown" to you? I have lived in the area I'm in for longer than I've ever lived anywhere, but it hasn't begun to feel like my hometown, even though it will be my child's. In fact, the location I consider my "hometown" is the place I lived for the shortest amount of time. To me, hometown means heart connections.

I have not been to my hometown since I was young. It is too expensive to live there now that I am grown, I can't afford it.

Yes, it would be expensive for me to live where I would want to in my hometown.

I can understand that. I might end up living in my current town for 45 years and I still would never call it my hometown. Happy to be here, but it just isn't 'home'.

I have lived in my home town all of my life. Well, for seven years I lived in Pocatello but came back here every summer. I have traveled over most of the US except for the eastern and deeper southern states and haven't found any place I would like better. I now live just a few blocks from where I was brought up. I can look out my window and see that area. That is nostalgic because of my grandparents. Memories are where it's at I think.

I moved around so much growing up that I didn't even know what hometown meant. But I guess hometown means where you consider the place that means the most to you. I've lived here for 25 years now and it's all I remember, so I'm going to say this is my hometown
