I was born in and one live in another but went to college far from any. -- nm - spamlet Sep 5, 13:29
wait, *none* of them are in the Dakotas??!! -- nm - Reagen Sep 5, 13:28
I've got my birth county (Queens), the county in MA where I grew up, and Kings County (Brooklyn). Current county not there. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 13:24
My birth county is there and that's it. - Kim Pine Sep 5, 13:21
I've never not lived in one - znufrii Sep 5, 13:19 13
- Yeah, same here - decline Sep 5, 13:23 1
  - I didn't live in one... when I was born in Argentina. - con_carne Sep 5, 13:23
- *googles* Is each NYC borough in a different county? - con_carne Sep 5, 13:21 10
  - Yes, but they're usually not referred to by the county name. - Tim Sep 5, 13:25 1
    - I only remember hearing county names on election days. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 13:28
  - yes, and each borough has a president. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 13:22 5
    - We depend on the county for stuff like Metro transit and sherriff's dept, but I imagine each borough doesn't have its own one of those... -- nm - con_carne Sep 5, 13:27 1
      - the transit is weird because it used to be several different systems, but now all one system. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 13:27
    - And county supervisors and stuff like that? County services? -- nm - con_carne Sep 5, 13:25 2
      - I don't know how it breaks down. There is one police and one fire dept for all of them. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 13:27
      - I think it's really only relevant in the court system, everything else is handled by the city governance, iinm. -- nm - znufrii Sep 5, 13:26
  - yes -- nm - Don Homer Sep 5, 13:22
  - yup. - znufrii Sep 5, 13:22
I'm adjacent to one. - Tim Sep 5, 13:18 2
- Loser. -- nm - con_carne Sep 5, 13:19
- nice try -- nm - prayformojo Sep 5, 13:18
I have lived in 2 of them, but not now -- nm - amoxy Sep 5, 13:17
Both the place of my birth and my current location are on the list -- nm - prayformojo Sep 5, 13:17 2
- (I think it's interesting that only 1 VA county is on the list, but 5 CO counties are) -- nm - prayformojo Sep 5, 13:18 1
  - counties being smaller on the east coast is a factor. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 5, 13:21
I do -- nm - decline Sep 5, 13:15
I'm in one of them. -- nm - Jim Sep 5, 13:15
I do not. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 5, 13:15
