Where are you from?

In Locations, we get to see fabulous, funky, icky, creepy, quaint places everyday.  The anthropology labs at the American Museum of Natural History?  Seen 'em.  The most expensive townhouse in Manhattan?  Seen it.  The freaky-deaky cool Dyckman Marina?  Frank found it.  We're a department of explorers.  Very few of us actually grew up in Manhattan; maybe that's precisely why we're good at exploring it.  Lately, though, I've been wishing I saw pictures of where everyone from "L & O" came from.  Hearing about Manny's trip to Greece every summer, or Cat's St. Louis, Bridget's Minnesota, or Kat's Catholic school in Queens...I mean, we weren't always eating Bottino. 

I don't know if I've ever said this (ha!) but I grew up in Texas.  I went back over hiatus, and I just recently found these pictures.  Here's my favorite thing in the world -- the Blue Bell Ice Cream truck -- at the Country Store outside my family's ranch.  And here's me next to my oil well (I own 1/158th of it, and it brings me about $20 per year, hollah!).
