Childhood:
New York (mainly Queens and nearby Nassau County)
Miami ( mainly West Palm Beach in Palm Beach County, then Stuart in Martin County)
Atlanta ( Marietta and mainly Austell in nearby Cobb County)
New York again ( Flatbush, Brooklyn and surrounding neighborhoods)
Teenage/ College years:
Miami again ( West Palm Beach, Royal Palm Beach, and eventually Stuart again)
Chattanooga, Tennessee ( Collegedale, which was 20-30 minutes from Downtown and 2 hours from Atlanta)
Miami again (Stuart to live with family for half a gap year)
Med School/ Early Adult years:
Los Angeles ( Loma Linda in nearby San Bernardino County)
Except for NYC, I have only really lived in the metros around the principal city. The best urban experience was of course NYC, but I was too young to really experience it. Atlanta, LA, and Miami all have their strengths and weaknesses.
