You're Not From Around Here, Are Ya?

PhatBoy · July 30th, 2006, 06:55 PM

When and where did you grow up/graduate?

What city,state
what high school
what year
Are you still there?

The thread about Kennedy got me thinking......
I'm originally from Dallas and was in school the day Kennedy was assassinated.
So my question is "where ya from and what high school did ya graduate from (for those in large cities) and when type thingy......

From Cromwell, CT and went to the public schools. It was an isolated small town in the center of the state between Hartford and New Haven. I left the day after I graduated from high school in 1993. I guess you could say I couldn't wait to get out.

You actually escaped the Coastal/Pee Dee area of SC. My dad is from Marion County (Brittons Neck). He escaped too but ended up in Greenville, MS...not much better.
I played the Loris Bog-Off once but that was a long time ago.

It's funny because the big question everyone in STL always asks you is what high school you went to. The public schools here suck so bad that almost noone uses them. So basically everyone associates a person with whatever parochial school they went to. It's as common as asking what you do for a living.
