Were you born near the sea or far inland?

I voted 500 to 1000 miles to the ocean. It was just a guess. Born in southern Ohio.

landlubber!

 

Do rivers count?

 

Not even big rivers?

 

You coastal snob, you!

Either it's the coast or it's inland it can't be both can it?

I currently live by the ocean. I was born approximately 60 miles inland from here!

[workingcinderellaman]

500-1000 miles away.

 

I love the ocean and I would fit in very nicely as a beach bum. But I love the mountains as well.

I was born in Spokane, about 200 miles from Puget Sound, as the crow flies. I lived in Tacoma and, later, Shelton (just north of Olympia), which are right on the water. I also lived in San Diego, CA and Veracruz, Mexico, both port cities.

 

Familiar map. I live about where the "m" in Bellingham is. Been in Washington since '79.

Are we talking actual ocean? I the actual ocean since we went there every summer, but I was born near Chicago, where many people go to the "beach" of Lake Michigan.

No Lake Michigan doesn't count that's a landlocked body of water. It has to at least be a channel connected to the sea to count.

You can indeed travel from Lake Michigan to the ocean via water.

Yeah but a lake isn't like the ocean, a lake is a lake.

It's weird that the Black Sea is a sea and not a lake and Lake Michigan/superior are lakes and not seas.

The Black Sea is not a lake because it's linked to the Mediterranean Sea (which empties into the Atlantic Ocean) via the Bosporus Strait. The Great Lakes are all technically one giant lake linked to the Atlantic by the St. Lawrence River.

You're making my point. One is a sea even though it is linked to the ocean through a strait and yet another sea. The other is a lake even though it is linked to the sea via a waterway. Funny thing is it's 2,250 miles from Chicago to the Atlantic and 2,100 miles from the Bosporus to Gibraltar. Inconsistent water names are inconsistent.

Iron Man is trying too hard, Human Torch looks like Saved By The Bell's Zach Morris, and Hulk is Frankenstein's cousin.

I like bloated Thing though!
