Other forms: hometowns
A hometown is the place where you grew up. My hometown, a hometown crowd, back in his hometown.
It is where you grew up rather than where you were born or where you live, which is why people who moved as children often cannot name one. A hometown crowd is the friendly one, and hometown hero is the fixed American phrase.
