Nailed me from where I grew up- Philadelphia - even tho I have spent more than 1/2 my life in upstate NY - Rochester - odd.

I use Sun shower all the time Joe.....well if we have one that is.

[Alston_Neal]

I was born and raised here. But it seems I could be from S.L.C., which I drove thru once. Portland/Vancouver, where I must have been in a past life and Denver which now has legal marijuana so this quiz can predict the future.
