If it helps, the east coast of the US thinks you were right.

Do they read Eragon in Oregon, and did oregano have its origin in Oregon, or was that in Aragon? Is there mineral depletion in Oregon, and if not, where has all the ore gone?

Sorry, too much coffee today.

I'm from Milwaukee, at uni in Madison, and have a tree farm in the middle of nowhere.

And there's a lot more we have to offer than dairy products. Hills, for instance (unlike some states to the south of us *coughIllinoiscough*).

I love Madison and Milwaukee isn't half bad.

And as for hills, psh. My parents (and I until college) lived half an hour from Chicago, we have no need for hills. Give me the rolling L-train and that immense Sears Tower. So keep your squeaky cheese and State Street...on second thought I'd like State Street.

Really? What areas? I spent my early childhood just north of Mitchell Field, moved out with my family to Greendale until I got married (after uni at UW-M), then lived in an assortment of apartments until we bought our condo in Muskego. One side of the family has dairy farms up in the Green Bay area, and I've seen most of the middle-of-nowheres the state has to offer (preferring them to more crowded regions). Just curious, mind you. I also appreciate what the state has to offer (though even Illinois and Iowa seem hilly to me after a trip through Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle ).

*Old post alert!* Why was I so unpatriotic?

Have any Downers moved since they joined? I moved (to be with a certain other, more secretive, Downer) and am no longer in my earlier-specified "Where are you from?"-location.

It's made the connection with my homeland (Aberdeen, Scotland) even stronger. Though the love I bear for my second home (the Netherlands) is significant.

I can't recommend it highly enough: travel, see new places.

I'm from the half-way point between the North Pole and the Equator. I don't really want to get more specific then that, other than my area has Starbucks and Dutch Bros. coffee "houses" (here we use the term very liberally.)

Not a chance. State Street is staying just outside my apartment where it should be.

My home is on the west edge of Wauwatosa, while the tree farm is in Wautoma.

I'm actually down in Muskego fairly often. I worked there for the last half of summer and some good friends live out there. So that's cool.
