Post a picture of the city where you're from !

Hey guys! Let's all post a photo of the city your from/live in. or if you were born and raised somewhere and than moved, post a photo of the city you came from. Let's see how far this goes!

For those who live in the same city that was already posted by someone, lets try to find different shots and perspectives of the city!

I'll start:

Born in San Francisco.

Moved out in November 2004.

We're one of the few cities that built a monument to the people who left! :D

Yup, G.W. Hosp. Did Denver in the 80s, then here.

No town around here, but this is where I'm from and will always be. I took this from the porch.

I never thought of taking her picture before (that's what tourists do), but the dark clouds in the distance compelled me to stop and get this shot. Greetings from Jersey City.
