B&R in South Dakota. Heard it's the only state in the lower 48 that has a place that you can travel in any direction for 100 miles and not see a McDonalds. Still only 1 area code for the whole state.

Born and lived in Ohio for 18 years. Left in 1969. Nice place to be FROM and haven't looked back. Just lucky, I guess since others have taken a lot longer to leave.

Go Bucks.

Maybe that's what was "raised."

The born & raised expression has been around for a long time. No, it shouldn't be "reared." Raised in a very common term regarding children. Here are a few examples:

ONLY in Cincinnati is three-way and cornhole part of wholesome family events that are smiled upon.

I was born in Seattle, Washington with the mountains and a corn field in my back yard. We used to play hide and seek among the stalks. We've lived all over the country, in 11 different states, but Ohio has been my home for the last 8 years. I just love it and it will be greatly missed when we leave to come to TV. We live in Findlay, near Toledo. I was just thinking the other day how great Ohio and its people are. My husband edged all the neighbors yards on our block Saturday. Didn't mention it to any of them. The very next day, our next door neighbor cut our grass. Ohio is the friendliest state I have ever lived in and when we flood in Findlay (as we tend to do quite a bit) everyone pitches in and helps out. Honestly, however, the Farmer's Almanac is forecasting another cold winter: 2015 Long-Range Weather Forecast for Toledo, Ohio

pretty sure not many posts will be about my home state, wyoming. the values learned there are still in me. many say how beautiful it is, but they have not endured the many miles between nowhere, throw in a lot of snow blowing sideways, with wind temps well below 0, 4-5 months out of the year. good place to grow up and raise a family, not so much to play golf in.

I grew up in Secaucus, NJ. I don't know exactly why but many Catholics in my home town went to the University of Dayton. I hung out with the same 4 guys all through high school. Two of them graduated from Dayton and so did their older and younger sisters. They were very proud of their college.
I remember the first Christmas, freshman year we reunited. We dressed like college students in high school or thought we did; wearing navy blue blazers, grey wool trousers with cuffs and oxblood penny loafers [sans pennies]. At the reunion we all had long hair, bell bottoms and beards.
So much for the "preppy" look in the all boys Catholic High School we attended.
I also remember they told me that when you order a sandwich in Ohio and you ask for it on a roll, no one asks if you want Kaiser or Italian. They said in Ohio they make sandwiches on a hamburger buns and call them rolls. And if you want a soda you have to ask for "pop". We were shocked! Unbelievable!
