Hey - Where's all the Yanks? Born and raised in Pennsylvania - now living in

the City of Brotherly Love, home of the hoagie, cheesesteak and Tasty Kake.

 

I am originally from Ohio... right next door!!! Live in SC now.

 

What more could you ask for?

 

A real summer?? LOL

 

Seriously though, PA is a nice state. My parents were married there... I used to

vacation there all the time... half of my family lived there as they immigrated

from Europe. And I LOVE the Hoagies and Cheesesteaks!!!!

 

Amazing I am a 73% Dixie. )

I was born in Rochester, NY. Went to 13

different schools during my formative years in 5

different states (Chicago IL, Drakesboro KY,

Jeffersonville IN, E. Rochester, Fairport and

Hammondsport NY, and Huntington WV) then I lived

in VA & OH before I joined the Army in 1979. I

was stationed in Ft McClellan, Anniston Army

Depot, & FT Rucker AL, Ft Hood TX, Barbers Point

NAS, Hawaii, West Point NY and Seoul Korea then

back to NY and finally to Alaska.

 

The plan is to stay here until we retire once

again and then move to the lower 48 where ever we

can play golf year round!

 

I don't consider myself a Yankee or Dixie. I am

an all around American....my home is where I hang

my hat.

I'm definetly a southern girl even though I wouldn't consider Fla. a

southern state any longer. I had to go to speech theraphy in grade school

because of my draw. Now I speak " normally " if that's what they call it and the

way

I was raised when I'm tired or tipping the bottle.

Hey Lynette,

 

As I have told you before .. I worked in Philly two years .. 67-69 ..

teaching ROTC at Drexel Institute of Technology (now Drexel University)

and I can say that I enjoyed a lot of things about Philly.

Especially I enjoyed the roast beef sandwiches and pickles with a

Schmidts or three in the little Irish pubs around the area of 32d &

Lancaster .. and a few up on Market. Got to like Scrapple and dang sure

liked that Lebanon Bologna. Never could get used to the idea of Boiler

Makers and I think that is a cultural thing common to the Nawth .. we

just tip the jug down home .. no mixing it up and such.

 

My neighbors were friendly and we associated a lot .. had Polish on one

side and Ukrainian on the other .. but the area was primarily Italian.

 

Frank Rizzo was Top Cop then .. I'm sure you could tell a zillion

stories about that feller. ;-)

 

> What more could you ask for?

 

Fried catfeesh, hush puppies, pit bar-be-qued whole hawg .. mebbe?

I've lived all over the US, too, Cheryl. Growing up, I never had a sense of

the Mason/Dixon division, or, heck, for that matter, East/West of the

Mississippi, LOL. It was all just America, with regional differnces. As an

adult, i celebrate our unity as a nation.

Hey Butch & y'all -

Tippin' the jug, huh? Picture this, a long, slow, hot, humid summer day in

Philadelphia. No air to speak of let alone breathe. Air conditioner on the way

to the trash heap. Go to visit my friend Robert, who had recently bought a small

retreat in the hills of West Virginia. His air conditioning was working, but I

was parched from the walk over. He was getting ready to go out and suggested I

help myself to a cold drink. I open the fridge and find a clear jug of what

looks like ice cold water. Feeding my thirst, I drink copiously. I immediately

find myself ON MY KNEES with a fire consuming first my mouth then throat and

finally my gut. I would cry out in pain, if I could find my voice. The burning

fire is so intense I am frozen in anguish. This was my introduction to good ole

south of the border corn liquor. Now I'm no stick in the mud (and neither are

most of my Yankee friends), but can you imagine my reaction to this liquid fire

when I recuperated somewhat later? I don't know how, but Robert talked me into

visiting his place in Hinton, West Virginia. We camped out literally on the

side of a mountain. There was a turkey shoot or something going on and these

home boys with big, long guns in one hand and a jug of what I KNEW was that same

white lightnen' were all over the hills making lots of noise and trying to bag

turkeys! I remember distinctly one guy comin' down the hill on what looked like

one leg, with a big grin on his face, a jug in hand, babbling something

unintelligible to my northern ears. He finally made it over to where we were

(he never did fall) and simply held out the jug to us.

The next morning, I awoke somewhere on the ground on the side of the mountain,

with something very wet and determined pushing my face back and forth. This big

ole' horse found me near some shrubbery and was nudging me awake. Imagine this

northern city girl's absolute delight in her south of the border mini-vacation.

Yeah, it was somethin' to write home about.

PS - I used to live in St. Augustine (briefly) - but that's another story.

 

Namaste,

Lynette

Well you certainly have been around the country with having lived in all those

places!! I just consider myself a human being (no matter what the tests say!)

and try to like everyone in spite of them selves.

Some days it is a real challenge! The worst thing in the world is someone with

no sense of humor (this was not a personal remark!).

Hi Mandie - I had a wild orange tree in my front yard, loved the Spanish moss

and chameleons (sp.), many shark's teeth on the beaches, the old city, the fort

AND the many, many dialects I heard. When I came back north, I brought some of

them with me. A friend has moved there recently and I miss her and the city's

beauty.

Namaste,

Lynette
