To me, being from a place means you were born there.

    I'd be more inclined to say it's the place you spent your formative years, if that's not the same place. I was born in Virginia, but moved to Ohio before I turned 2 and grew up there. I always say I'm from Ohio. I have no memories of Virginia.
