Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3994566, member: 199"] Born and raised in Storrs, CT, left for college in NJ worked in NYC (150 miles) and outside Albany (170 miles), Montego Bay (1700 miles), London (3300 miles), Miami (1400 miles), TN (1000 miles), and now live about 20 feet from my first bedroom back in the house I was born into. My siblings live in HI (5000 miles), LA (3000 miles) and NH (200 miles) It is an interesting issue and I am sure has changed fairly drastically over the course of the history of the US and changes quite dramatically by state, and rural vs urban, and level of education. I know in small northeastern towns the street names are often associated with generations of families still living in the town, but less so than when I was growing up (or those families have become 'diluted' by newer arrivals as towns expand.)
