Where are you from?

Yes, hello everyone here at NJS4E prior we had an unfortunate event the deleted a similar post to the one I'm presenting today.

The nature of this topic is to learn where everyone is from, I know usually we post this in our profile or first time welcome but alot of us don't or we either forget, so if you want to say other things in that spot instead we can use this as a reference

And to get to know more about each other I feel its a good thing to state where we are from, therefore it may be someone near you that can inform you of information of whats going on in your area. also this will be useful for meet-ups as well

I know when I did this before it was a pretty good number of responses so lets see how many will contribute this time around

Also if my memory serves me right I know Mello also done something that was remarkable by asking members to post the flags of the countries to where they were from or born I dont quite remember so hopefully she will bring that back I'll leave that to her of course

Also thanks to prettygrey_eyes for bringing this up as I forgot so it just reminded me to repost this topic thanks

I come from Antioch, California like I said before, which is in the Bay Area.

Edit: By the way, I have been to Sacramento. I visit cousins up there every now and then where the regular homes are (near a bowling alley, Toys R Us, Best Buy, Red Robbin, etc. if that helps), and go there every year for the Cal Expo fair.

Apeldoorn is between Arnhem and Zwolle.

I am originally from the North of The Netherlands though, from Friesland.

Cool Jada, I like this topic.

I'm from Newport News, Virginia. 45 minutes away from Virginia Beach (TR's studio and home headquarters), about 30 minutes away from Portsmouth (Missy's hometown), and 15-20 minutes from Hampton (Allen Iverson went to Hampton schools). Michael Vick went to Warwick High which is in the same city where I'm from. It's a little boring here but I guess it's all good.

Great thread & idea, Jada and PGE!

I am from Twickenham, which is West of London. I have lived in Southall, Middlesex for 5 years. I lived in Kensington for 17 years and have lived in Twickenham ever since. I was born a Londoner and am very proud to be a part of this great city.

I'm from Lewisham borough which is in South London. I have lived in the borough all my life and have only briefly moved out of the borough into Southwark (which is also in South London!) for about a year. So I am what ya call a 'Right propa Saff Londoner through n through mate!

Where I'm located is great for travelling into central London as Tower Bridge is only about 15 minutes drive away. The famous Greenwich which houses the Millennium Dome and the Cutty Sark Boat ( the world's only surviving tea clipper) is only 5 minutes drive away too.

Hey, Jada thanks for mentioning that flag post I did. I've been meaning to put that one back up at some point!

Representing Copenhagen! That's the capitol of Denmark, otherwise known for Lego, Maersk and a complete lack of NJS fans

Copenhagen has around 1 mio citizens and was founded by Bishop Absalon back in the viking age.
I've been living here since 1998.

Did the Danes invent LEGO? I had no idea

Oh BTW -

otherwise known for Lego

I hate those things!!

When you accidently step on one it's bloody murder on the feet. Hmm, I see I've got the Danes to blame for that heh?
