Where Y'at CSC!?
In todays society fads and trends Swiffer the nation on a regular basis. And as an ever growing part of that society, the wild frontier that is the blogosphere is no different. It would seem the cool thing for bloggers here on SB Nation to do these days is to find out where all their readers live. Arrowhead Pride, Mile High Report and The Falcoholic have all taken a demographic inventory and as my regular viewing of American Idol would prove, I am not too cool to follow the crowd.
You all know where I live so it's time to find out where all of our CSC readers come from. Consider this a roll call of sorts. In the comments section please put your city/state, or for our international readers put your city/country, in the subject line. Then feel free to give us any other details or info you'd like to share in the subject portion of your comment. Keeping it in this format will make it easy for me to calculate the responses. I'm also hoping this will spark some discussion among our members and allow everyone to get to know each other better. Finally, I'd like to point out that this is a great chance for long-time lurkers to finally speak up and let us all know your out there.
So CSC...where y'at!?

Virginia Beach, VA
Born in Lafayette,when I was three we moved to Fort Walton Beach, FL. Still visited LA all the time to see the family in NO and Lafayette. I joined the navy and moved to Virginia Beach (which isn’t near as cool as Fort Walton Beach even though it says “beach” in it’s name too) in 2000.
looking forward to 2010
Asheville, NC
Imagine if you lifted Berkeley bodily out of the Bay Area, and set it down on the set of Deliverance. Voila: Asheville. “This transgendered corn is special.”
Oh when the Saints...Start kicking ass...You don't want to be in that number...
Long Beach, MS
Hi everyone, I comment from time to time so I guess I would be more of a lurker. Lot’s of saints fan in Mississippi!!!!!
Wichita, KS
Former Saint Jumpy Geathers played football in the now defunct program at The Wichita State University, as did Bill Parcells. Mickey Loomis earned his master’s degree in sports administration at WSU. The first Learjet was built here followed by many others. Neil Young is having his 1959 Lincoln Continental converted to electric here. Otherwise, it’s a cowtown. WIthout the cows.
So many provocations, so little time.
Ingalls, KS
In the country…and we do have cows.

Oh my God. You are a brave man, sir, to make your life and your living in “the great American desert”. I grew up farming in Geary County, south of Junction City. I escaped at age 18 but went out to help harvest wheat some years later after my brothers bought a place in Ford County, south of Dodge City. That is a difficult, damned dirty and depressing existence in western Kansas, I couldn’t do it.

Fun, it ain’t. But I’m actually a brave woman. My husband is the farmer in the family. I’m a die-hard farm wife. If we don’t get some rain or snow soon, “difficult, dirty, and depressing” will be a goal to achieve. Cool google view. I found my son’s school!

But only temporarily! Wife is here for Grad school, she is originally from Baton Rouge and I am from New Orleans East.
Baton Rouge, LA
Also known as The 225, Jigga City, or even Be Raggity. Where I’m living for now…. Hopefully once i’m done with LSU in like 10 years i’ll gtfo of this town lol.
My cousin is a native of the Red Stick. She says it like this: BATTin ROOJ

On our first trip to Louisiana, we saw Bossier City. I was calling it boss-SEE-A. Then we heard BOE-zhur on the radio. Perverted.
If you should come to Wichita, do not refer to it as the ARcunSAW River. It is the arr-KANSAS River until it reaches state line.
So many provocations, so little time.
Lockport, LA
Little small town in the Houma/Thibodaux region. Just up the road from the hometown of Bobby Hebert, same area that produced Tommy Hodson and Ben Bordelon.
Thibodaux, LA
Representing Nicholls State, wurd up!
Montreal,Canada
Home of the Montreal Canadiens hockey club (24 Stanley Cups!), beautiful french women, incredible night life and awesome dining. We also take (for most of us) much pride on our distinct cultural scenery.

Greenwood, MS
I have been a Saints fan all my life. I was raised going to at least a few games every year. Sounds like a small thing, my Dad taking me to Saints games,but it has made me a lifelong fan. I have already started that tradition with my son and recommend others spend time with your sons and daughters. Start them off right. Who Dat?
Berlin, Germany, Europe
Cool I´m the first International… Canada don´t count…HAHAHA!
I´m an Army brat and live in Berin the last 11yrs. before that Munich- 7yrs.
Grew up in LA and lived and worked in NO several yrs
oh
you got a PROBLEM getting ingredients, I can order most of my stuff. Or just ask grandma to send it. Hell Yeah Steen’s syrup.
looking forward to 2010
yeah Berlin is not reknown as a bastion of cajun culture
but thanks for the offer might come back on that sometime..just shipping is usually twice as expensive as the goods shipped. I have a few buds in LA but if they dont pan out I´ll come back on your offer. Thanks

Canada doesnt count eh? They why did they ask for my passport last time i crossed?
Course I didnt have it.. I was too exicted to be going to the Saints game in Detroit and forgot both on the counter. 4 hours from home the border guy is like…. " you telling me you have no ID? "
Lucky me he was a football fan lol
MT
SEE!! That´s why Canada dont count! Eh!
If I showed up at the border w/o a Passport they´d throw my ass on the next plane out- after my interrogation of course. :-)
Houston currently. Born in Lafayette, La.
I’m also curious as to how many people are native Louisianians. That’s the only reason I can fathom that someone would be a Saints fan. You’re kinda born into it. It’s in your blood. But or those of you guys not native Louisianians, Why in the heck would you want to be a Saints fan?!
I’m amazed at how many Saints fans do not reside in Louisiana…
Alright...I'm cool with Harper. Bullocks must go!
Born in New Orleans (birth to age 5)
grew up in Covington (age 5 to age 18)
then on to Danville, KY for Centre College (age 18-age 24), (4 years schooling then two years working in Student Life Office)
moved to Louisville KY in 1995 (age 24-age 37)
Saints fan through and through through all the years
The Detroit Lions are on the clock!
Ponchatoula, LA via St.Rose
by the way, Middendorf’s now that its under new ownership isn’t near as good as it usd to be… to much like Don’s Seafood (old people’s food with no flavor or spice) Best seafood I’ve ever had Deanie’s on the lake in Bucktown… Also a big fan of Mr. Eds out there… maybe just a fan of all Bucktown seafood.

We had some friends say they were taking us to Arnaud's
Well, they really said R&O’s.
Man, is Deanie’s still there?
Oh when the Saints...Start kicking ass...You don't want to be in that number...
Mobile, AL
Born in VA in ’70, moved to Slidell LA in ’76, then Diamondhead MS in ’79. Been in Mobile since ’88 when I started college.
Already know you that which you need.
You are the only person I've ever...well, sorta met
who actually lived in Diamondhead.
Oh when the Saints...Start kicking ass...You don't want to be in that number...
I thought
It was just the half-way exit between Fort Walton Beach Fl and Lafayette, people live there?
looking forward to 2010
Location
Richmond, Indiana
Lived in Louisiana most of my life, came to Indiana for a job when IU was in the Final Four in New Orleans; people had basketballs on their heads here! It’s so nice to go to New Orleans and walk en mass to the Superdome with other people wearing the same kind of jerseys, not Bengals, Colts, or Browns. Go home to Natchitoches and Shreveport three or four times a year.
Birmingham, Alabama
The 205, where the dirty be found.

Manahawkin, NJ
Born and raised in N’Awlins, moved to NJ 20 years ago. Still have most of my family in New Orleans and the surrounding area. You may be surprised how many people respect and like the Saints up here.

My funny little story: I was exclusively a college football fan when I was a kid and I loved Rickey Williams. I just happened to move onto the NFL when the saints drafted him #1 overall in 1999 and the Saints have been my favorite team ever since.

Frankfurt , Germany
I’m Irish , live in germany , and am a saints fan… not connected to US military here in germany except that i have done some serious drinking with them!
Football is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom.

Winnipeg, Manitoba - Canada
Also known as “Winterpeg”. Come here to freeze in the winter if you arent the hardy sort. We used to have the Winnipeg Jets. They are now the Phoenix Coyotes. Boo.
"Situated at the junction of the Red River and the Assiniboine River, Winnipeg is at the heart of Canada and close to the geographic centre of North America.
The name Winnipeg comes from the Cree words meaning muddy water, referring to Lake Winnipeg 40 miles to the north."

Summer in Winnipeg
Yes its cold in the winter but dont lie Grumps.. your summers rock! If you dont mind the skeeters.
MT
Skeeters?!
You never spend a night outside in New Orleans East. Anopheles, Aedes, Culex…they sound like exits off of I-10.
Oh when the Saints...Start kicking ass...You don't want to be in that number...
Very true...
It is true…our summers rock…
Mosquito’s are an issue, i haven’t been to “outside in New Orleans East. Anopheles, Aedes, Culex” but i would bet dollars to doughnuts that our Winnipeg version would tame them and make them their bitches…
The Winnipeg version has been known to drag off small children and Buc’s fans…

Mobile, AL
where else?
Season Ticketholder since 2006. Good timing, right?
Being a Saints fan will take years off your life
Dallas, TX
I was born in New Orleans and moved from there when I was 6. I went back to visit family though. I actually live in a small town just south of Dallas called Waxahachie, but nobody knows where the hell that is!
Bwahaha, I'll add that to my WhereIs.
Full disclosure!

Earlysville, VA
Was the only one of the four of us not born in NOLA. Parents had two, then moved to Spartanburg, SC, long enough to shoot me out, then back to NOLA when I was 9 months old for my little sister. I felt cheated growing up, but now I’m the only one who follows the Saints. It’s my cross; I’ll carry it myself, thank you very much.
Spent 17 years in the Air Force and the last 12 hovering close to the she-devil that took my children to Maryland. (Officially both our names were on the same marriage license at one time, but I swear I thought it said “Sign here for free food and beer.”)
If anyone knows of a need for an engineering manager in NOLA, let me know. I am so there.
Seattle
Since Day 1, Game 1, Kickoff #1.
First game ever (vs Los angeles Rams) — Al Hirt, Pete Fountain playing “When Saints Go Marching In” (pre-game).
5 Minutes later — First regular season play in Saints history 94 yard kickoff returned for TD by John Gilliam. (Sitting in North End Zone @ 7 yrs old). Tulane Stadium went nuts — we all said this is “EASY” and fell in love on the spot!!!
Like all lasting marriages/relationships, divorce crosses your mind at times then you remember all the emotions and common moments (good and bad) that attracted you in the first place!!!
