Born in a Minneapolis suburb, raised in a different Minneapolis suburb and currently live in a different Minneapolis suburb. I have never lived outside of the metro area except the 3.5 years I was in college out in the middle of the prairies of western Minnesota.
I spent about 1 year living in Bend, Oregon and 1 year at college in northern California, but otherwise have always lived in Denver or the suburbs of Denver.
Originally from Florida ( and I am extremely happy I am not there now!). Been in New England for 30 plus years and suppose I have become a yankee. Still love my southern food though.
