What says "Home" to you?

[pomba gira]

When you go back to the place you grew up... wherever you consider your hometown... what is the one sight (or sound, or smell... whatever!) that really makes you think, "Here I am... home again."? For me it's the Lodge freeway... driving between the walls from 8 mile to Wyoming. I have a crazy love-hate thing for Detroit, but when I hit that stretch of road... that's home.

home is where the bills are.

Driving down Interstate 470, and seeing the hills of Ohio turn into the mountains of West Virgina.

Taquerias, Mexican ice cream vendors in the neighborhood, Vernor traffic, Duly's Coney Island....

[Nate Kriepp]

Parky's Hotdogs (Oak Park, Illinois). If ever I die of a heart attack, it better be after eating at Parky's. Any other heart attack would be lame.

honestly, this town has never felt like home to me, so i can't answer this question.

[AstralCrux]

I dunno.... This is the first time I've had, what I consider a stable home environment. But, the housefire 2 years ago throws the sense of home out the window for me. Eventually, it will seem more like home, I hope.

Anywhere Spook wraps his arms around me feels like home.

I guess anorexics, drunks and people screaming at each other remind me of where I grew up.

Where I'm living now is the only place that has ever felt like home.

i was wrong - i did think of one thing - the smell (and eating thereof) of my grandmother's cooking!

Warm, sandy beaches, the sound of surf, and the feel of sun against my skin. Middle of the Pacific.

Also, where all types of sushi are available. Including Spam sushi.

Smog.

MOUNTAINS.

Wearing a tank top and flip flops on Christmas.

King Taco - In and Out - Bakers!! (though I have to go inland for that that but its SO GOOD!!!)

Gum on the side walks.

The wonderful, peaceful, majestic sounds of in the Santa Anas while lying in bed during fall/winter. (sometimes walking in them if they aren't that crazy).

The smell sound and taste of the beach in the early morning - when I say taste I mean the slight salt taste constantly present on you lips when breathing in the ocean air.

My Grandmothers MENUDO!!!! (and good mexican food in general, without having to drive an hour to Mexican Town).

Coming home to all the boys gathered on our porch/front yard, being silly, joking, laughing and just being loving towards eacht other- I am grateful for seeing a part of that world that allows me to view things in a different light - they are loving, they are compassionate, they are like brothers, they are, underneath all that damage, GOOD PEOPLE.

The LOUD sound of the the #762 buses that would often wake me up in the morning.

The smell of Gravity- at one point all the guys wore it - they smelled like a bunch of french whores LOL.

[Msterbeau]

Where my bed and my stuff is.. is home.

I dont really have a hometown... I grew up in a semi truck. 46 states by the time I was 9 and canada. So I guess you can say I do miss the travel and good greasyspoon truckstop food.

...damn...someone DID move more than me...

[Raev]

When I find home, I'll let you know.

[Shade Everdark]

Rolling hills.

Endless cornfields.

Hundreds of cows.

Badly-accented, backwoods, closed-minded, self-important rubes.

Ah, Bonduel.

[Lillylu29]

[Gauge]

The smell of whiskey brewing in the morning.

That's where I live now! For a while, maybe a year or so, I went to Duly's every single day for lunch.

Ah...I went to high school on Scotten.

Hah! Me too!! Well, originally I was at Chadsey.

And for what I call home, I guess anything between Livernois and Addison, around Mcgraw St.

More specifically between Lonyo and Addison, that's where I grew up for the majority of my life, unfortunately.

Also, I suppose I would consider Chadsey home, although I never really felt safe there, it's a very familiar place.
