    grew up in spring but spent a fair amount of time in the galleria/uptown area as well (family business is located in the galleria area).

    now living in tanglewood, hopefully moving towards the montrose/hyde park area in the near future.

    On Underwood about a block north of Aberdeen. I think Dumbarton branched off of Aberdeen. I used to walk down Dumbarton home from elementary school.

    The old single story ranch house that I grew up in has been replaced by a McMansion. :(

    That reminds me of some advice my father likes to give: "Never ask a person where they are from. If he's from Texas, he'll tell you. If he isn't, don't shame him by making him admit it."

    An apartment area known as "Crescent Oaks" now, it used to be a great place to live and now it looks lame. I stayed there until I was 9 and then I moved to Barrington Place in Sugar Land.

    Mo City/Sugar Land all my life. I remember when Mo City was nothing but cows and Highway 6 had just 2 lanes. Now it's congested up the ass and always busy.

    From '87 to '88, just north of I-10 and next to the 59 Eastex, and then they made us move 'cuz of highway expansion, or some bull... and then near Lamar Fleming Middle to '91, then Fifth Ward again near I-10 and Eastex freeway. Basically Fifth Ward all my life... then moved out to Alief to live with Mrs. SwoLy and now Katy. :eek:
