My hometown where I grew up, Lehighton, Pennsylvania.

What I like about it, it reminds me of the small towns that John Mellencamp sings about. I like that it's small town, and people know people and smile and talk to you. I don't have a lot of that in Allentown, where I live now.

Lehighton is also where my parents live, so I love to go back to see them, and in the future, their home will be my home, and I'm glad of that.

I love my hometown.

Since I grew up as a military dependent, I never had a home town because we moved every few years. So I guess my hometown is where I live right now I like my little home town because it is small but close to a big city. I like that we have a "downtown" that is safe to walk in and still has business owners that were here 30+ years ago and longer. I like that our little town has a wonderful old fashioned 4th of July parade. I like that we are right next to a large AF base. Also, the name of my little hometown is unique in that NO OTHER American town has this name

My hometown was a cowtown (Swift Packing PLant) South of St Paul, Minnesota. The Mississippi River runs along the bluffs below the house my dad & uncle built. We had the most fun as kids growing up roller skating on the tennis court, sledding down the hills, digging in the sandpit across the road for agates, there was Fleming Field airport a great place to go look at the old WWII fighter planes full of bullet holes & stories. I grew up with two boy cousins about the same age was & am a tomboy. We played softball with all the kids in the neighborhood & played by our own rules. It was a fun place to grow up. The biggest change was when I got my first job in St. Paul at a publishing company & it was a melting pot. There was every race, color, & creed working at that place. Everyone there was nuts & it was like a big family soap opera. Then I decided to get married & moved south of the border ( it is a little warmer in the winters) Iowaway. I still have my Minnesotaian accent too, yah, you betcha etc.
