How big was the town you grew up in?

[Hunter]

My town has 161(up 10 from the last census taken) people but we were only like 30 minutes out from a decent sized town.

[T_Own]

14,779 as of 2000. 5.5 sq miles, philly suburb. also ranked 15th best place to live by cnnmoney.

[WARMachine]

There is about 6 or 7 million people in Rio.

So more than most people

[RuhlFreak55]

round about 600.....i think it was 647 and then the 2000 census put it up a bit

our town only has one cop.....so do you even have one?

[CSAR]

Estimated 20 million people in the Tokyo metropolitan area. And they all hate foreigners.

[CHAP]

I moved from the town I grew up in about 16 years ago. They didn't have a stop light then and still don't. We had 1 cop inthe town also . Now he works as a volenteer they can't afford to pay him anything.

[*RAGE*]

not sure around 5000, i think then moved to a bigger town but still has the small time feel now living in the city and hate it...trying to move back to the country....

[Hunter]

We just had a state trooper that drove through every now and then we had a town of about 6,000 about 20 minutes away so if we had problems there cops would come out. Really it was understand as long as you didnt take your hell raising to town(esp highschoolers) they left you alone.

We used to pack the trucks just full of people and tear off to the nearest party lol. We had alot of fun and as long as nobody went into town and started raising hell the cops left us alone. We still give directions by who's house you go by and what dead in the ditch.

Our school did not count any days missed during deer season. The teachers just understood no one would be in class so they prepared most of the work as take home. Same with harvest, I wasnt really in class for the first 2-3 weeks of harvest.

[Tigershark]

4,000 where I lived at in Caseyville, IL.

[Dukkit]

my one school was that way.

it was funny cuz we didnt get any jewish holidays off but we got deer hunting season off. lol

but when i moved to suburbs of philly... every school had jew holidays off.

cool to see how areas are so different even if they are only a few hundered miles apart

The drawbacks of growing up and living in a small town is the few times I visted larger cities I get like anxiety attacks. I was in Chicago and asked for directions and by then end was like ok just give it to me in north south east or west. The guy had no idea what I was talking about and had to lay it out like how many blocks north how many blocks east etc. Turns out he didnt know his directions everything was by the streets. I am never going back to a city that size again.

[Dukkit]

Rota, Spain - 24,198 (back in 95 when i lived there)

Harrisburg, PA - 48,950, (in 2000 when i was there)

Jacksonville, FL - 0.82 million (now but i was there a few years ago)

Virginia Beach, VA - 434,743 (2007)

Carlisle, PA - 18,351 (2007)
thats just a few of the places ive lived

[Hunter]

umm I lived in my hometown and then another much larger city for 3 months. Guess not the most traveled by I have hunted alot of different states. It sucks tho like a 45 minute drive each way to my college.

seriously? 63 people? i had more than 63 people on one street in my neighborhood

[CSAR]

I didnt know you grew up in tokyo. Were your parents members of the armed forces?

Well, technically no - I didn't grow up in Tokyo. But I did get 2 cm taller and I gained 40 pounds over the last 10 years, so perhaps I should say I GREW in Tokyo.

My original hometown? 131 people. Our nearest neighbor lived over 2 miles away. We had to ride the bus 90 minutes to school, one-way.

Our school bus driver was also the town barber and local landscaper. I think he had one other job to.
