[quote=Anonymous]Op here. I do wonder if it’s a product of being second or third generation American and descended from ancestors who left their country because life was so miserable there, they they never went back. Maybe the idea of a “hometown” where you still have deep roots is mostly for those who have a history there? My grandparents were very attached to their ethic neighborhood. They never left, not even briefly for work. My parents left that neighborhood wanting a stand-alone house in a nice suburb where everyone came from somewhere else and then retired to Florida if they didn’t stay there. I had a nice childhood there but all my friends are gone or scattered throughout the region. I don’t feel I could happily restart a life there if I even wanted to.

I guess hearing others talk about “home” just gets me thinking because at this point,  home is where my spouse and kids are whether it he DC or Idaho or Key Largo or Fairbanks, Alaska. But others have a real sense of physical place and exactly where they want to or need to be.[/quote]
