In what state were you born?
 
Is "The Villages" a state?

Was anybody born in "The Villages?"

Anyhow, I wonder which birth state is most represented among our TOTV members.

I was born in Steubenville, Ohio, but my family actually lived across the river in Weirton, West Virginia. I have the hospital bill that was given to my dad after my birth. $5

Ohio Valley Hospital, or Gill Hospital?

redwitch 07-18-2010 11:03 AM

Born in Nuremberg, Germany. First U.S. state was California. After more international stuff, lived up and down the eastern seaboard at various military bases. Then to the Far East, back to U.S. and the Midwest. Back to Europe, back to U.S. (Kentucky). And so on. The states lived in the longest were New Jersey (8 mos.), Kentucky (3 yrs.), California (too long to count). If pushed, I'd guess I would say I was a California gal with a touch of the East Coast and the South in my heart. Sorry, was never a fan of the Midwest.

Born in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. That's to differentiate between the City and the County, which are different entities.

The hospital still stands, but functions now only as a clinic, the bigger entity having moved west, into the County, some 30 or more years ago!

Parents took me to Massachusetts at age 9 months, where I stayed until returning to St. Louis when I married. Both my children were born in the same hospital, at that time the same building!

Goodness me, how long ago all that was! :wave:
