Current stats show that there are now over 20,000 PB members, with guests estimated at 5x that number.

With such a large audience I thought it would be interesting to get an idea of the reach PB has both nationally and internationally.

So where are you from, where are you now, and where have you lived?

Me:

Torresdale--OC, NY--Mainz, GE--Baghdad--El Paso--OC, CA--Sydney--CC

This should be an interesting study if everybody joins in.

Austin -> Boston -> Milwaukee -> Philly

Here's my list:

1. Philly

Damn, I need to get out more.

(At least I've traveled a lot for work and vacation, but never lived anywhere else.)

Rochester --> New York City --> Rochester ---> Buffalo ----> Philly

(I did live in St. Etienne in France for a month but just as an exchange student so that didn't really count in my mind. That would have been after the first Rochester.)

Thats ok. It'll give us an idea of natives vs transplants. But what neighborhood?

Cleveland --> South Jersey --> Soufilly

Havertown, PA--Moorestown, NJ--New Brunswick, NJ--East Windsor, NJ--Yardville, NJ--East North West South Philly

What can I say, home is home. I only got as far as N. Jersey and then started to head back.

Have you been back to France after your first study abroad? My study abroad was in St. Emilion, Bordeaux, Saintes, and Paris. Southwest of France is so lovely, I'd love to go back there sometime but haven't been yet. Incidentally, I'd looked into going to RIT but decided not to.


Okay, as for rest of the answer:


Mumbai (India) --> Franconia (New Hampshire) --> Houston --> College Station, TX --> Houston --> Dallas. And in the very near future, Phila, hopefully.

In Phila, I'd try and find something nice in CC or thereabouts but as I learn more about other areas of town, I wouldn't mind other places either. I just haven't yet lived in a lively downtown yet and would love to try that out, specially since many streets just around CC are so residential and tree-lined.

5/22, because i'm feeling punny:
As the great Jedi English teacher was quoted in saying, "metaphors be with you."

Brooklyn, NY -> Nutley, NJ -> Clifton, NJ -> Rutherford, NJ -> Princeton, NJ -> East Windsor, NJ -> London, England -> East Windsor, NJ -> Philadelphia.
