Hrm... home town... I've got three when I think about it.
I was born in Newberry, Michigan which is way the hell up north in the UP (which makes me a Yooper by birth).
Then my folks moved around a whole bunch until I was 7 and we landed in East Lansing, Michigan. This is the town that did most of the formative damage to me while growing up. There was a great deal of counter-culture stuff available to me because of MSU being right down the street. But it's also an agricultural university so I had lots of farmland to run around in.
Much more recently, I've moved to Hamilton, Ontario and I fell as much at home here as I have anywhere else I've lived.
So which is my home town?
The town I was born in?
The town I grew up in?
Or the town I currently call home?
