I'm from Strasburg, PA...in Lancaster County...home of the Amish! I miss Tastycakes, whoopie pies, shoo fly pie, friends and family, and the tourists who come to gawk at the Amish. Seriously, they were always funny to watch.

I'm from Illinois, there really isn't anything I miss. I don't miss the following: farms endless cornfields black ice fat, corn fed women

Just the good ol' boys, Never meanin' no harm, Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. Straight'nin' the curve, Flat'nin' the hills. Someday the moutain might get 'em, but the law never will. Makin' their way, The only way they know how, That's just a little bit more than the law will allow. Just good ol' boys, Wouldn't change if they could, Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood.

So Indiana. I don't miss much, I hate it there, but I do love the smell of freshly cut grass that seems to eminate from everywhere. I also miss fall foliage. I also miss all of the Germans, they celebrate everything with beer gardens and cheap booze all summer long!

Ukiah (Mendocino County), CA. I miss the 100 foot tall Redwood tree we had in our backyard, and I miss the Mendocino coast. But mostly, I miss my boys who all chose to stay in CA.

My husband and I are originally from L.A., CA but we moved here from the bay area, where my son was born. I don’t miss anything about Northern CA, and the only thing I miss about L.A. is my friends. I love it here in Maricopa.

New Jersey I miss the sight of " lightning bugs" ( aka fire flies ) and the change of seasons from fall to winter. The different colors on the trees. Bay Area, Ca. I miss the sight of the fog rolling over the mountains from the pacific ocean and entering the bay through the Golden Gate Bridge. The sounds of seagulls, the smell of ocean water. The sounds of waves crashing onto the rocks and shoreline. The taste of good Itallian & Chinese food.

Wow, so many from the Coastal areas. I am from beautiful wonderful Flagstaff, Arizona. I miss the NAU campus, Pinon picking, driving across town in 10 minutes, the seasons, and family! I dont miss shoveling the snow or scrapping my windshield, or the high cost of living, and I dont miss some of that family!

Oh my gosh, someone who know about Ski-soda. My grandmother is from Breese, IL and every summer when I visited we would load-up on Ski. I've been to highland many times. My grandmother is 92 and has lived in Breese all her life.
