My Home Town - The Grand World Tour!
Howdy, Bubba! Hey, if you're new around these parts, I just want to say how much I appreciate you dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!
A while back I started a meme called My Home Town, to help us and our readers celebrate their roots, and in the process, take us on a sortof “world tour”.
Well, although it’s not exactly burning up the blogosphere (I’m afraid it rivals the infamous “turtle meme” for speed!), there are now enough participants to start the Grand World Tour list!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Hi Robert, we might be going slowly but it’s a great way to find out more about each other and where we live. Makes the world seem smaller somehow…
Here’s one more to add your list - Yvonne in Brisbane

PS Yes I’d love to see the places on a world map but sadly don’t even know what a mashup is never mind how to make one!
Robert, I was going to write a press release for a client this morning, but instead, I’ve been reading these incredible submissions to your project. These stories are fascinating and fun - what a great idea for a project. Thank you!
Thanks Robert…wow, you sure have a worldwide audience…way to go!
~best, GL HOFFMAN, now in Minneapolis
Thanks Robert for the grand world tour. It was nice reading about the hometown of other writers.
Sorry, I don’t know anything about a mashup?
Joanna: Thanks! It’s on the list now.
Brad: I’ll tell you what I told them: it’s not my fault! And you’re welcome!
GL: Thanks, I’m looking forward to see where we go next!
Edith: A mashup is where two sets of data get smashed together into one application. Like all these places (the data) getting popped into a Google World map. I know it’s easy - once you know how…
Robert & Joanna - Thanks for adding me to the list. Sorry, I clean forgot to link back to Robert’s post. This was a fun meme.
Hey Yvonne, it’s nice when someone is looking out for you, isn’t it? Thanks, Joanna!
Thanks Robert for educating me about a mashup. Sounds interesting…I’ll look forward to the outcome.
