Why do you do it?  Is it shame about your hometown?  Wishing you could have grown up in someplace more sophisticated?  [/quote]

I can't imagine what this looks like when some native New Yorker says something like, "cool. I grew up on the Upper West Side, how about you?"

Mega embarrassing for Provo. [/quote]

Yep or "what high school did you go to?"

Major, major L.  And way less embarrassing than just calmly saying "I'm from Kentucky" from the jump.[/quote]

Conversation in DC between people who are just meeting:

"So, James, where are you from?"

"New York."

"cool. I grew up on the Upper West Side, how about you?"

"Oh, I grew up in Kentucky. I moved to New York after college. Do you get back there often?"

How is that embarrassing?
