As everyone knows The 80's Rewind attracts people from around the world. So I thought it would be cool for each of us to post where we live and see exactly how diverse a group we have on The Rewind...
I'll start ...
I'm originally from Lexington, Kentucky....but currently live in Cincinnati, Ohio USA
Posted by LoverswithCassie (Member # 7794) on :
I live in the coastal town of Ocean Grove in Victoria, Australia.
I originally resided in a country city in the same state, Bendigo.
Posted by Stitch Groover (Member # 2895) on :
I'm also in Victoria, Australia, in a rural city called Wangaratta Wangaratta means "meeting of the rivers" in the local indigenous language of the Meriwa people... or alternative "the gateway to everywhere interesting" as there is absolutely nothing interesting here!

I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada. Me and my wife bought a house on the street I grew up on, so essentially...I've lived on the same street for my entire life. Most may find that boring, however, I'm very happy to be raising my son here.
Posted by Veronica Sawyer (Member # 2221) on :
Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs...Also, lived in Alabama briefly when I was a kid and in Vegas a few years ago.
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Born and raised in Odense, third largest city in Denmark, but that ain't saying much! A real zhithole, if you ask me. Ridiculous crime rates for a city with only 180.000 people. But then again, we are also the city with the largest population of foreign immigrants and refugees. And I don't mean that in a racist way, that is just pure facts and statistics.
Some of you people may complain that you live in a boring town. But trust me, I would rather live in a boring town or neighbourhood, than having to barricade my door with my mountainbike at night, and having the baseball bat handy at all times.

I live in Southampton on the south coast of England.Have lived there all my life,never had the need to leave.
Posted by P a u l (Member # 1022) on :
Born in London a few too many years ago, and all my life I have slowly moved westwards. In 44 years, I've made it around 25 miles.
My speed is therefore just over half a miler per year, and by the example set by tortoises (who crawl along but never seem to die) I should outlive the lot of you!
Posted by Stitch Groover (Member # 2895) on :
Paul, I have you beat, I was born in the hospital around the corner from the house I now own, a distance of no more than 500 metres.

I was born in Hampshire, and I still live in Farnborough, Hampshire.
Posted by I'm Simon and I am a NOMS adddict (Member # 2688) on :
I was born in Halifax, England but currently live in Detmold, Germany. In a few months I'll be moving to Belfast; Northern Ireland which is interestingly where I lived when I first joined the Rewind all those years ago...

What are your thoughts on movies like "North Shore" and "Aloha Summer"?
Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
I was born in Birmingham, England, but moved to London when I was about 2 years old.
I still live & work in London.
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Has anyone read through this thread and noticed how diverse this group is.. kinda cool. We need to mark a globe to see how many continents were are representing.
Of course.. if EJ keeps moving we might have to get a seperate globe for just her adventures.
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
We're like eighties sleeper cells waiting to rise up and take over! Yeah... today The Rewind... tomorrow the world!

Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
Born in Hammersmith, London in 1981. Do I get any Rewind points for that? Huh? Anyone?
You can call me the Hammersmith Hardman, the Hammersmith Crumpet Radar or call me Bernie, I mean my father is Mr. Lomax, right?
Lived in South Australia most of my life. I wouldn't recommend it.
Where's JAY LEE BTW? I miss his quirky humour.

OK, lets try this, see if it works....
I've dropped location flags for everyone who has put a location on this thread on the following map:
Anyone who wants to be added, just PM me a location. Anyone who wants to be either removed or edited, do the same.
Let's see just how diverse we are.....
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Paul .. I really like your idea.. but the link won't work for me. It only goes to my own google map for some reason.
