Huh, I don't know what hospital I was born in.  Pretty sure I haven't been back since I was 5.

The hospital I was born in way back when was a rather big, proper hospital.
I don't know what the deal with it these days but it is all very spotty, much of it is closed and it is only used for certain things. I went for an x-ray there last year.

I was born in St Louis Missouri, no idea which hospital I was too young to remember.  My mom's side of the family is still there so I have been back many times, used to be every summer growing up, now just for weddings and funerals.

The only impact has been my choice in pro sports teams.

Where are you from in St. Louis?

My family is in South St Louis County and have lived there as long as I can remember.  My cousins went to Oakville High School.

Most of my family lives in North County.  Back in the old days they lived in places like Dago Hill and god knows where else.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Dago hill.  :lol:

Reminds me of the nigger camp in harlan county.

They just call it the Hill now.

Yes. My kid was born there too.

From the outside it looks the same.

The hospital was St. Michael's, I believe, in Texarkana, TX. 



I haven't even been back to Texarkana, except to drive through one time, let alone been a patient or anything in the hospital there.

Was born in some hospital in Irving, Texas. My folks and I lived in some crummy apartment the DFW area until I was a few months old, whereupon we moved to San Antonio.

In my three years living in St. Louis area I never once visited the Hill. Did I miss out? :huh:

Same place Neil was, I suspect. I was back for a ER visit 8 or so years later, just weeks before it was torn down.

Scipio

I was back at the very hospital wherein I was born, about 10 years ago, when my uncle was dying of lung cancer.

Bemusing.

He was a hell of a guy.  He was, for about 20 years, the top-rated music DJ in Milwaukee.  He made it to his late fifties, smoking two packs a day.

Not a one of his kids smoke.

Yeah, so, depressing.

But, you know, shit happens.

Still a very good hospital.

I think I was back in the same hospital I was born in when I broke my leg a few years later, but I am not quite sure which hospital I was born in as there is another close by which is specialized for childbirth.

Born at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.  Had a health scare when I was about 13, was in the same hospital at the time.

I wonder what little Timmy will say about this question.  He was born in Yukon, I fully plan to bring him back at some point (to do the Whitehorse to Dawson City canoe trip if nothing else), but beyond having a Yukon birth certificate I wonder what he'll think of the place I love so much.
