    What defines "hometown"?

    If its where I was born -
    Restaurant: None... I think there MIGHT be a tiny bar there.
    Tourist Spot: The trailer where I was born.
    You'd be in Gaston, Oregon... and I have no idea what you're doing there because there is NOTHING to do there. LOL! Population is 777 people. ;o)

    If its where I grew up -
    Restaurant: Gordito's Healthy Mexican Food. Its my favorite place to eat!
    Tourist Spot: Pike Place Market
    You'd be in Seattle

    If its where I currently live -
    Restaurant: The Counter Burger... its a realyl yummy place where you build your own burger and best of all it has my favorite... Sweet Potato Fries!
    Tourist Spot: The Fender factory for a tour
    You'd be in Corona, Ca... again... I'm not sure why you're visiting there. You should drive the extra 20 minutes and go to Disneyland. LOL!

    There are few nice places to eat, but I'd probably take you to Veritas which serves a good mix of UK/Euro style dishes and has an impressive drinks selection. Or we could just split a bucket from KFC?!

    I live in Banbury, UK!!!

    I was wondering that, too. I haven't lived in my hometown in several years.

    If you visited me in my hometown I would take you to Palisades Park, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. (<a href="http://flickr.com/search/?q=Palisades%20Park%20Santa%20Monica&w=all" target="_blank">http://flickr.com/search/?q=Pa...ca&w=all</a>)

    Then I guess we'd go see if Maya is still there. It was a cheap, greasy Japanese fast food restaurant in my neighborhood that got horrible reviews, but I always liked it.

    You'd be in Santa Monica, CA.

    You'd be in Emmett, Idaho & like Tiggirl said - I'd have no idea why!

    Tourist/Camera Spot: We have lots of tourist/camera spots, like Lodo, the Botanical Gardens, the Molly Brown House but to really experience the Rockies you would need to get out of town and go skiing or hiking.

    You would be in Denver, Colorado

    You'd be in a teensy village near Tamworth UK.
