That is an interesting question. I called it my place of power because I had friends and networks there, I knew the city, and I knew what the culture was like. Those things are a literal source of "power" in a community. In a broader sense, I think it is a place where one can be happy and prosper. One may need to find it or it may be their home to begin with. It is, ultimately, up to the individual to find his or her place.
