For example, the Facebook info page asks for your hometown. A high school classmate and I both said the place we grew up - in South Carolina, although she is now in Florida and I'm in Georgia. What is hometown? (Result) The place you were born. The place you grew up. The place you live now.

My parents lived in a small country town, married there, and raised their family. Mum had fertility problems and was trialling a new drug when she fell pregnant with me, so I was born in a major hospital in Sydney. I'd never even consider calling that my hometown. I guess I'd define it as your childhood memories. Not sure how someone would go if they moved town on a regular basis.

Like Sandra, I was born in a hospital in Sydney but my parents lived so far out they might as well have been in the country. I was only a few months old when we moved to Perth. I've lived here ever since and it's definitely my hometown. S, were you born at Crown St Womens Hospital? ( I was )

Because I only stayed in my birth place, for 6 months. We moved to Washington (Oly) and been there ever since, but now we live in the east side of the mountains. ~ Love it here!
