All the mom and pop restaurants I grew up with that have since closed.

Also knowing all the short cuts it took through the neighbor's yards to get home.

Moved from a mega metropolis and got shuffled around a lot

Might be an oddity here but... I basically missed nothing. I grew up pretty sheltered, and on top of that my hometown didn't really have much going for it despite its size. Probably the only redeeming quality is the high-quality public transit... which isn't remotely as good as it seems if you actually live there

I think now that I've grown up & have more defined interests, my hometown is starting to feel a bit more exciting since there are all kinds of hobby groups & such... But still feels mostly soulless to me IMO

Being next to my servers all the time.

Family and the memories, I think. And the hills, and maybe some of the architecture. Otherwise, every time I go back, I’m glad that I left.

Definitely the curry - cheap and really tasty. Also the moors are great to wander in a Wuthering Heights kinda way.

I'm from Ft. Worth, TX and have lived in CT for 20 years and I couldn't put my finger on what exactly it was that I missed most about it until I went down there last year. It's the balmy evening breeze. Gets me every time.

The bicyclability

I miss being able to hear my own thoughts when I go out in nature.

Honestly, not much.

I went from the west coast (Nevada) to the Chicago area. I miss a couple of friends, fast commutes, and good Mexican food. That’s about it. Chicago has so much more opportunity and access to a ton of things.

Mountains.

The slim chance I'll see one of my school friends while it and about. There is not no way I'll see anyone I grew up with unless we plan to.

We had a small restraunt similar to chipotle but like, way, way better. Nothing away from home even comes close, I miss that place.

The food variety

Air quality. I moved from eastern Canada to southeast Asia. It's always hazy here by comparison. And you can see like half the stars. There has been a little improvement in recent years. Maybe China is getting its shit together.

Honestly? Not much.

I grew up in the countryside, there was maybe like 50 kids in my entire school. Somehow I became the main bully victim. Later I spent a few summers at the grocery store which doubled as a cafe in the weekends, and honestly it showed me the adults weren't any better with their constant gossiping and rumour spreading.

I got out of there as fast as I could afford it. It took a few tries in different places both big and small, but I eventually landed on my feet in a small city.

Still close enough to nature that the countryside of me doesnt feel cramped. Found my crowd, made friends, and discovered passions I never knew I had. Life is pretty good right about now. Bought an apartment with my partner a few years ago. Now we're gonna be parents soon!

I've reestablished connection with my family too. We've talked it all through, and now I go home to visit and spend time with them once or twice a year, so I guess that's the answer to your question. Anyone else there I couldn't care less for.

The food, the city, pretty much everything... Except the people

Moved away from a small rural village. Except for a couple of friends/relatives that are still living there am not missing a single thing.

I grew up in a small town in rural Scotland and now live in a city in England. So I miss the fields, the sea, the hills, the forests, the food, the people, the closeness, the pace of life, the community.

I'm from a what was a little town in Western North Carolina and a kind of missed the smallness of it but now it's just turned into and Asheville suburb.

I used to live in a dense mega-city. Traffic and pollution aside, I miss how most things were reachable by walking or a short public transportation ride. A convenience store on every other corner, grocery store 5-10 min ride/drive away, and everything you need within a 4 mile radius.

Home.

Feeling superior to everyone.

One dozen warm, salty panisses rolled in a paper and an anisette to slide them down peacefully. Yes I'm a walking cliché so what

I grew up in the Okanagan, and moved to a rural coastal community.

I miss the seasons, coldy snowy winter's, asphalt melting summers.

I also miss the fruit and veggies, while I have blackberries here, I don't have the apples, peaches, strawberries, and endless veggies.

Zestos and Polly's Freeze and that's about it.

I miss their malts, they were always the best.

• shelf-stable spinach
• quiet and splash-free porous asphalt
• as well as non-car infrastructure
• not needing to book a train 4 months ahead to get a fair price. I didn't even know it was abnormal that I could show up to any station, tap my card, and board any train that goes to my destination
