Talk:Hometown

Ambiguity

So if I was born in the hospital in one town, but my parents were living and I first lived in another town, moved at least once during childhood (and lived in one of them longer than the first one), and am currently living in yet another town, which is my hometown? If someone within 40 miles of my current residence asks me the name of my hometown, what do I tell them? If someone in another part of the country or the world asks me, would it be correct to say the name of the nearest big city/metro area, since my other hometowns are not well-known places?

Watch it --- or you'll be paying taxes to all the various home towns --- your best off to only have one -- home town — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.108.194 (talk) 06:45, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Both my place of birth as the place where I grew up had city rights(even though the latter only had 3000 inhabitants). They were not towns :-)
