Answer 1

I'm from the state of Canada. What I dislike about this state is that no one has given us a star on the flag yet. There are still only 50. What I do like is hockey! Go Oilers!

Answer 2

I am from Illinois (St. Louis, Missouri area) originally.

I've lived in Normal, Illinois -- yes, that's really the name of the town -- Illinois State University is there.

I also lived in:
Killeen, Texas
Columbia, South Carolina
Jefferson City, Missouri
St. Louis, Missouri
Chicago, Illinois
Huntsville, Alabama
Peoria, Illinois
Des Moines, Iowa

I've been lucky enough to do some traveling all over the country to LA (California), Washington (DC), Alexandria-VA, Florida, Kentucky, Indianna, Ohio, Colorado ... it's a long list !

Now I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Arkansas is a beautiful state. We would visit Mountain Home, Arkansas (right in the center on the boarder near Missouri) quite frequently ... it was beautiful. Great hunting, better fishing and the camping is wonderful.

The people in Arkansas can be SO friendly !

Answer 3

I live in central Kentucky. I HATE IT!!! Sure, the land is beautiful and it's very close to Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati. However, the cost of living here is vastly overrated given the slow rate of growth and lack of job opportunities. It's actually cheaper to live in, say, Nashville, Houston, or San Antonio than here. Furthermore, I can't stand the people in these small towns that are full of themselves, think they run the world, and will not talk to anybody outside of their clique. In Kentucky, it's not how nice and generous, or how well educated you are; it's about who you know. If you're not in the "town clique" or related to a prominent family, people will literally not even speak to you. People won't even say "thank you" when you hold a door open for them. Sure, there are nice and mean people everywhere, but the nicest people in Kentucky are the ones who are native to there.

I've done my fair share of traveling throughout the country. I even thought New Yorkers (NYC, that is) were in some ways more polite than Kentuckians. I really like Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, they all have very nice people. Florida and Indiana can be rude and crude, but aren't much different than Kentucky. Texas...now that's a cool state! Great weather, lots of job opportunities, beautiful scenery, and great people! That's where I intend to move in two years once I get my Bachelor's degree.

Dang, I went on longer than I expected.

Answer 4

I'm originally from California (26 years!). I loved the entertainment, great weather year round and the beaches. I disliked the traffic, smog and housing prices. I now live in Idaho. I like the natural beauty, the outdoor recreation and the lakes. I dislike the fact that there are not enough good jobs to keep up with the growth and the winter weather.

Answer 5

Another Arkie! Pulaski county, the capitol of Arkansas. Lots to do, friendly people, and best of all in the middle of the state. Can be anywhere in the state in a matter of hours. Nothing like the Ozark foothills in the fall.

Answer 6

Washington State: The natural environment is great: We have praries, mountains, deserts, beaches, rainforests, rivers, lakes, glaciers, hot springs, wheat fields, rolling hills, mesas, you name it. We have tons of wildlife. The people are generally well-educated and open-minded.

Legally speaking, it's turning into California: The smoking ban is RIDICULOUS, housing prices are nuts, people are whiny about bears in their backyards, and you're more likely to get sued in this state than any other. I started a business two years ago and sorting through the tax code has been an absolute nightmare.

Answer 7

Right now I'm living in central Pennsylvania and I can't think of a single thing I like about it. I hate the winters, the taxes, the arrogant people in my town, and just about everything else about it.


Living in the northeast really stinks and I wish I was back home in western Kentucky with the nice girls and beautiful weather.

Answer 8

Hey neighbor I am from Tennessee. I live just 30 minutes north of memphis. I like this state because I grew up here and know everyone but hate it that most of the needy people can not get health insurance. I am sure you heard about that.

Answer 9

I'm from Florida and I love it except for the weather on occasion and the fact that some parts of the state are overpopulated with low-lifes.. but I think you'll find that pretty much anywhere.

Overall, I love the state!

Answer 10

I am from New Jersey.
Like it because I am close to Manhattan. Can go there anytime.
Hate New Jersey because for a state like this, it is as expensive to live out here. And car insurance? Forget about it! Way too much to live here.
