My dad was military, and I had spent high school in Germany. My parents had bought the house in B'ham when I was in Junior high, and that was what allowed me in-state tuition. But I learned in college and later that people made certain assumptions about me, and I started saying, "Well, my parents live in Birmingham..."

One of the delights of this international list is the use of place names 
that have a different connotation this side of the pond. Birmingham over 
here has an accent that is fairly impenetrable. Cranbrook is a rather 
desirable area of Kent.
