The Best State In America?

Texas tallest mountain is a glorified Hill

What’s your favorite state, if you have one? As a native Maine-Ah (where I currently live), I have also lived in Connecticut, Georgia and Florida. I really don’t have a favorite place, as there are were pluses to living in all those other states. I loved the culture, people, food, girls, music and weather down South and think that if I ever move somewhere else? Probably somewhere around Nashville, Tennessee or Austin, Texas (I’m a musician and kick butt music is my passion).

I also want to see Montana and the Midwest, before I leave this planet.

Do you have a favorite state?

Favorite for what? Weather? GOVT? Taxes? jobs? Safety? Cost of living?

Yep. For skiing, in Eastern South Dakota, they installed a lift on the tallest hill in Sioux Falls. This is it:

I have been in all of the contiguous states. They all have good points. The saddest is California. What democrats have done to California is criminal. I would be happy in my beach condo to this day if California had not become so ugly and dangerous.

I wanted a Mountain Home up north and a Jeep and an old Lady and a few dogs ( When I was a senior in HS in Culver City / Beverly Hills ) and retired early at 38 into that life , now 64 I’m still up here )

Anything goes, my friend.

I can't take the winter cold/ice/snow up north anymore, so I'm staying in San Antonio. Yeah, it gets pretty hot here in the summer but no place is perfect. I guess California is close but hey, it's California. And the Big One could be any day now.

Texas ... hands down the friendliest and most helpful folks in all the world ... prejudiced rednecks for sure, but otherwise sweet as anything ... Oregon's the worst, God awful bad here, no police, drugs are legal, rains every day all day long ... just a hateful place ...

... only the tourists are safe ...

I lived (and worked) near the peoples republic of Eugene, OR for a few years. Strangley I did not mind the constant drizzle, I would not call it rain. Hard rains.......seemed few and far between. Womens skin was white and not sun-wrinkled. I almost say it was perfect or so it seemed. I long for those days. I did more there than anywhere as it is never 95+++ with 75% humidity. It was almost always tolerable. Even played a lot of pool in the bars, got a good excuse to go in if its' alway raining.

and an old Lady

No, I meant "Does SHE still run"?

sorry it was a joke.

Favorite state to live in is the Free State of Florida. I also like the desert Southwest; Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, western Colorado, but only for the scenery.

Never lived there, but when visited Hawaii was quite nice.

The Southwest is hot and was hot back in the 70s' too. Dusty Chaps used to sing "its' a hundred and ten in Gila bend, in Buckey its' 102"

LOL, a glorified hill. TX has many great places, all kidding aside.

Still I have good memories

Which is more than you can say about California. Tourist is just another spelling for target.

Bullets with Keys

Reminds me of what Dave Barry wrote as a mock advertisement for the Miami Tourists Bureau: "Please come back to Miami. We weren't shooting at you."
