ive always noticed peoples geographical identity ends up almost at neighborhood level.

i have the following geographical identities by increased geographical region:
"Byåsen punk", Trondheimer, Trønder, Norwegian, Scandinavian, European/Eurotrash :]
in norwegian:
Byåsenramp, Trondheimer/Trondhjemmer, Trønder, Nordmann (=norseman), Skandinav/Skandinaver, Europeer

could add Eurasian. "Earthling" is redundant ;)

I don't always like being that specific on the Internet. Paranoia about being stalked in real world, I guess.

I live in San Marcos, Texas, on the west side of I-35.

By which I mean the part of San Marcos that is west of I-35, not along I-35 itself, and not I-35W (which is in Fort Worth, about 200-something miles from me, and not to be confused with the same-named freeway in Minneapolis).

I'll just leave it at that.

Ah, what the hell...

Nijmegen, Arnhem-Nijmegen metro area, Gelderland, Netherlands, Benelux, Europe. Nijmegen is my city. My house is in a different neighborhood from the institution, and I've never had a neighborhood identity.

:oops:
I just jumped out the ocean onto my raft that I'm towing behind me while swimming to South Africa to find this message of you making fun of me.
Now I have a good mind to just turn around!
I could've made it by Easter, I'm sure.

I'm not going to get more specific than Edinburgh. Not that I feel any attachment to the neighbourhood I live in anyway, as Edinburgh as a whole is my community.

But there is:

Edinburgh
(Possibly Midlothian - which is only used when people feel they desperately need to put a county in the address, as by pre-1974 counties, Edinburgh stood in Midlothian)
Lothian
Scotland
UK
Europe
