25. Grew up Southwestern VA, now live in Chicago
I don't think it is quite 1000 miles, but it's close.


But BOTH places are more than 1000 miles from where I was born, does that count?

And my mom wins; she grew up in North/Central-coast of Brazil (Her city is closer to western Africa than it is to North America).
