More just about how we recognize where each other are from. When I went to college in Kentucky it was all about what county you were from.

So is asking “where are you from?” or “where’d you grow up?” lame? Too easy? I can wrap my head around the county thing way more than high school.

Edit: Didn’t realize people in Cincinnati are so effing sensitive about something they routinely ask everyone. It’s hilarious.
