It’s a dream come true. I get to play for my hometown team, the team I grew up rooting for.

To win in my hometown is just a whole ‘nother level.

I have been a fan of Forty Five Ten since my first visit to Dallas in 2010, when I was working with the hometown competitor.
Between acting jobs, I’d go visit my hometown and college town to see family and friends. But I would also teach acting, dance, singing, and audition techniques in high schools and colleges. I take great pride in all the survival jobs I worked, because I learned so much from them.
I’m a secret interior decorator. There’s a mural on my dining room wall of the railroad tracks at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. I love having my hometown with me out here in California.
I just want my hometown talking about where I’m going – like, ‘He’s killin’ it right now,’ and, ‘I’m so glad he’s doin’ well,’ and I want them to know I’ll always come back, every chance I get. I’m not one of those people who’ll just leave.
It’s always a little different, racing on your hometown track. It makes it more special.
I chose to support Purpose Prep because it is important for every child to have the opportunity to receive a great education, and the Purpose Prep programs are designed for underprivileged children in my hometown to have access to those services.
Writing ‘Native Guard,’ I didn’t know I was working on a single book. I began writing that book because I was interested in the lesser-known history of these black soldiers stationed off the coast of my hometown.

I really love my hometown. I carry that with me.
There are two phone calls parents don’t ever want to get from their children. No. 1 is, ‘I’m in prison. Come fetch me.’ And No. 2 is, ‘I’ve written a novel… and it’s set in your hometown.’
I didn’t start writing so that I could more deeply know myself. I was bored of myself, my life, my childhood, my hometown. I started writing as a way to know others, to get away from myself.
I grew up in Montpelier, Indiana. It’s a little town in the northeast corner of Indiana. It’s a rural community; about two thousand people, a very much hometown U.S.A. kind of thing.
I don’t think there’s any extra pressure fighting in my hometown. It’s just added motivation. Real pressure was fighting against 30,000 fans in the champion’s hometown for my first title against Kell Brook.
There is pretty much nothing more fear-inducing for a Bachelor than finally making it to hometown dates.
I arranged ‘DT Suga,’ which I previously used in lyrics, backwards. ‘DT’ is D Town and refers to my hometown. I like the meaning, and it sounds cool when I say it, so I think I’ll continue using this name when I work externally. I also like how the mixtape came out in August.
I’ve been a Lakers fan since growing up in Oklahoma. My hometown’s finally got the Thunder, which is really exciting, but I’ve still got to stick with the Lakers.
I would say one of the most romantic things I’ve done is I’ve taken a girlfriend back to her hometown when she hadn’t been back for years. It was in Puerto Rico, and we stayed there for about a week and a half. She showed me the different places she grew up around.
The first television show I did was a production called ‘The Pacific,’ which was this huge HBO series with an insane budget and 300 extras and a crew of 150. We were filming out in the middle of the wilderness in my hometown. I was so green. I didn’t understand anything that was happening.
I do think of Bombay as my hometown. Those are the streets I walked when I was learning to walk. And it’s the place that my imagination has returned to more than anywhere else.
I was forced to leave my hometown, and Napoli sold me to Juventus.
When I was 13 years old, my mom had me start getting facials in my hometown of Los Angeles.
I do think of Bombay as my hometown. Those are the streets I walked when I was learning to walk. And it’s the place that my imagination has returned to more than anywhere else.

I know this is my hometown of Toronto, but I’m going to treat ‘TakeOver: Toronto’ like it’s another night at the office. I’m going to prove why I am one of the best in the world.

I’m a professional cook. I’ve worked with other cooks from all over the world, but my family is not that way – they’re always lived within 25 miles of my hometown!
It’s always so nerve-wracking being up there on stage. It’s even harder playing in your hometown – and I have a couple of home towns – but, you’re playing for all the people you knew in high school, so it causes no small degree of panic in my mind.
I developed my training routine going into my senior year at Jackson State. I found this sandbank by the Pearl River near my hometown, Columbia, Miss. I laid out a course of 65 yards or so. Sixty-five yards on sand is like 120 on turf, but running on sand helps you make your cuts at full speed.
In my hometown there is a pub named after me – The Frome Flyer on Jenson Avenue. How cool is that?!
I love showcasing my talents – not only to my hometown fans and my own team but to the world.
I am hated in my hometown.

At 25, I found myself anchoring coverage of President Clinton’s impeachment trial from Capitol Hill for WTVH-TV in my hometown of Syracuse, New York. I then covered Hillary Clinton’s first Senate run.

I’m the same Nina Turner, whether I’m on MSNBC or talking to my hometown newspaper or CNN.
New York is my, you know, second hometown.
I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year’s Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.
My perfect beach town isn’t a fancy resort or glitzy planned community. It’s a place with a hometown grocery that has decent meat, seafood, and a deli; a couple of ice cream shops; and a handful of good restaurants – where the island-wide dress code is ‘no shoes, no shirt, no problem.’
Chicago is my hometown and will always have a special place in my heart.
My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons.
It was like a cliche for the parents in my hometown to let their kids watch ‘Friends.’ I had no interest at first, because I could not understand a word.
I’d say street skating is the most fun of the six skateboarding events for me personally. It’s also because you can do it anywhere. You don’t need a specific ramp or competition; you can just go shred anywhere around your hometown and have a blast with it. That’s the best part about street skating.
Many of the novelists I admire never left their hometown. Look at Flannery O’Connor. So many of the great Russians never left Russia. Shakespeare never left England. The list goes on.
