Hey Hockey,
I was not born in Brooklyn but my wife and I love NYC, in fact we plan on retiring there in about 15 years or so, imagine that moving to the city instead away from it....., of course I've always been bass ackwards  My grandfather was born and raised in Queens and I am also of Italian decent. Now let's see, I'm only short by about $2.5 million for that penthouse overlooking Central Park that we want.....I am accepting donations to the tpolitz retirement fund if anyone is interested?

Well not Brooklyn, but I was born on Long Island (Rockville Centre) and lived there until I was 17. Found out just a couple years ago that Eddie Money is an alumni of my high school. Ah yes, Long Island -- also the birthplace of a couple hotshot guitarists you may have heard of: Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.

a place, sort of....
Although it may embarass some foks to admit it, (on a public forum, yet), I am from the great state of Montana, tucked remotely into the northwest corner of the US. I lived elsewhere after college, but the place called me home, so I left the military and came back to raise our children here, where their roots are deep. I love this place like it was family.

I'm from DeSoto County, Mississippi. It's in the northern part of the state and borders Memphis, Tennessee. Yes, it's the home of Elvis and no, I haven't visited Graceland.

I love the northwest, especially the Yellowstone area, the most beautiful countryside I've ever seen. But I will stick to the south during the winter months

Great idea. Be somewhere else during hurricane season, huh? Funny what a guy gets used to. I was stationed in the southern US and the Phillipines after college. I don't think I minded the heat, but I always found my mind wandering towards snow when I was sweating.
But, here's a pretty good story. Several years ago, I was driving towards kalispell, MT on business. It was a COLD day, maybe -20 with some killing wind. I slowed when I saw a car on the side of the road, hood up, to see if anyone needed help. no one was in the car, so I kept driving, soon finding a really old fellow, carrying a gas can, just walking through the cold. (We were, maybe 10 miles from anything). I stop and get the fellow in my car. I start to lecture the guy about how damn easy it is to get oneself killed in these conditions, and that he should stay with the car, keep warm, etc. Then, realizing I'm lecturing an old-timer, I start to feel pretty silly being such a damn nanny. So, I just say "you know, it's colder then hell out there, today"
The old guy grins and says (no kidding) "Well, at least there's no 'skeeters".

Hey IC man, I grew up just across the Virginia line from Kentucky (little coal mining place called Grundy). What area in KY are
you from??
Dallas Tx here by the way.
P.S. I'm just taking notes from all the posts for when vacation time rolls around.  What are the accomodations like?
