Writer's Block: Places to Lay Your Head

Let's see, a relatively short list I think.
Sixth Street in Dover, NH 1961 to 1978
Sherwood Glen in Somersworth, NH 1978 to 1982
Springfield, MA with friends for two months in 1981
Londonderry, NH with my brother's family one month in 1981
Nahua, NH two weeks in my first apartment in 1981
Sixth Street in Dover (a block away from the earlier place) 1982 to 1985
Green Street in Somersworth 1985 to 1993
Green Street in Somersworth (across the street) 1993 to 1995
Green Street in Somersworth (two blocks up the street) 1995 to present.
My favorite? Probably my first home on Sixth Street in Dover. I had a nearly idyllic childhood there. Nice, friendly neighborhood, lots of kids around, close to the center of town for material needs but with woods and fields and big yards with few fences so kids games could range wide.
Least favorite? Middle one of the Green Street places. Too many of us in a too small apartment with white trash neighbors. Not all bad folks, mind you, but my ex and I had both been brought up - differently.
