Alert | | I'm from here but we were in Oregon for 18 months. I miss the rain, the clouds, the green, trees, grass, being an hour from the ocean, an hour from Mt. Hood, 5 minutes from Forest Park (I miss running in forest park), 8 hours from most of our family. I miss hiking and picking wild berries, going to the farms and getting other berries. I miss the elk that went through the land around us, the beautiful fluffy coyotes and the hawks, ospery, eagles...but the desert is nice too... | | | |

Alert | I'm from Eastchester, NY (and Patchogue, LI, NY) and I miss
Chinese food,
bagels with big kosher salt,
the ocean and picnics at the beach,
having tons of family (in small doses  ) that surround my children with love and time,
late nights at the chinese restaurant with my long time friends, telling secrets, and laughing until my stomach hurts. | |

Alert | Hey Sherm,
I'm from Philly and my family hailed from Reading, so I miss all those things, too. I have purchased TastyKakes and birch beer from PaPantry.com.
What I miss the most is actually what once annoyed me. I miss generations of people living in the same neighborhood. You knew people by their families. I miss having friends that stay around for longer than two years. My life has been a revolving door of friends since I left Philly.
I also miss the hustle of the city. There was an energy there that I didn't recognize until I left. | |

That's a bummer. I have found the complete opposite, here. People are much more friendlier here than where I am from! | |
