kingtermite Posted July 29, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2015 Much, much better. Economically it's much better. Temperature/Weather-wise it's much more comfortable. Activity-wise there is a LOT more to do (and more mild temps makes it easier to do them more often). I'll take Washington over Florida any day.

Road Runner Posted July 29, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I was born in North Carolina but moved to Virginia when I was nine. Except for two years in Florida, I've been here ever since. I like it here fine. I just wish we were like Florida and didn't have state income tax.Also, hurricane season sucks big time.

Former member Posted July 29, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2015 Massachusetts is a great place to visit, but it's too crowded and the weather sucks. I'm much happier living in the Southwest(NV or AZ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted July 29, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 29, 2015 I've lived in NJ since 1994 and that's where I've lived my entire rent/mortgage-paying adult life. I'm not sure I still have a viable perspective on what life was like in the other states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted July 29, 2015 Share #13 Posted July 29, 2015 Having lived in Texas for all but 6 years of my life that I can remember, I cannot really answer this. The six years in Oklahoma were incredible, but that was because I have great parents and I was in elementary school.Also lived in Lafayette Indiana for a year when I was a baby jsharr. I do not remember it at all. My brother does though, because his dog got out and a deer hunter shot it. Apparently little beagle dogs look just like fucking deer!

The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted July 29, 2015 Share #14 Posted July 29, 2015 I like the people here in NY. Rather, I like the people here in Rochester, I haven't met many people outside of the city.I really miss Pittsburgh and PA. It's just a better state; there are not as many Statist Goons in PA.#Something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted July 29, 2015 Share #15 Posted July 29, 2015 I really miss Pittsburgh and PA. I really enjoyed the time I spent in the Pittsburgh area (on an extended work assignment).

Great town, great food and interesting geography.When I lived in PA there were not many people saying that. Actually, I never heard anyone say that back then. This was the 70's - The City of Champions. But a lousy city. This was before the revitalization. It was Detroit before Detroit. Shuttered steel mills, closed businesses and long unemployment lines. Nothing about a great town or great food (unless you considered Iron City Beer - NOT). It has always had interesting geography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a similar story from many people - twenty years prior no one thought Pittsburgh was a nice place.Plus I thought the morning show guys on WDVE were hilarious. I have a couple of their CDs.

Ralphie ★ Posted July 29, 2015 Share #22 Posted July 29, 2015 NJ is not a bad state, it just does some bad things, like tax us poor bastards to death. PA has lots of good points, but sometimes all that nothingness gets to be too much. Southren NJ has much mo' better biking roads, surprisingly. Southeastern PA's just have no shoulders at all, so they are death traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
