"best and worse of your state"

I'm from in MA. The best parts of living here are access to beaches, lakes, mountains, information/schools/libraries, casinos, amusement parks and skiing; very few of "acts of God" such as tornadoes, really bad hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods (recent events are rare); ability to visit the wonderful country of Canada within hours; rich American history; great Irish pubs and excellent Italian restaurants; a super Omni theater. We have a dome theater, one of two on the East coast (I understand the other one is in Washington); a city one can walk around easily.

On the flip side, people from other parts of the country are a lot friendlier. I like that a lot. Our pace of life tends to be on the faster side. Our real estate prices are horrible. We drive like maniacs. The "T", our subway system, leaves much to be desired. Boston is not bike friendly. I can't find a deep fried Twinkie at the Topsfield fair - I have to go to NH state fairs to find those.
 
...oh yes, one other thing. Our state now has winter moths as well. Somehow they found their way off of a boat or plane from Europe or emmigrated from Canada but they are here now and here to stay. Sigh. Oh well.
 
Wyoming is worst because they are soo dull and no fun! I wish i can able move to San Diego, Ca because of beach and warm but too expensive. Colorado are best or worst sometimes because colorado are nice to live and Hositpal are suck. Hositpal tell us to come at 11 am. We came in and waited for 2 to 3 hour then My son had surgry (sp?) for one hour. His case was not serious. We finally left hositpal at 7 pm. My son was outpatient. My son was doing fine but they didn't allow us leave until 7 pm. We were so angry with doctor and nurse. I think that Hositpal is so suck because Hositpal waste our time. In Utah hositpal don't do that like that. They asked us to come on time then 30 min then if we were outpaient then they will send us home after one or two hour. Utah is famous mormon.

None of state are perfect! even Noone are perfect!!!! Even All world are not perfect also.
 
I didn't grow up in South Carolina but it's where I live now.

The best things about SC are the beaches and people.

The worst things about SC are the summer humidity and traffic.
 
I was born in Connecticut and spent many years there. I visit there about every two years.

The best things about CT are my relatives that live there, the shore and beaches, historical areas, and the quaint towns.

The worst things about CT are too much government control, high housing prices, high taxes, and nouveau riche snob communities.
 
The best and worst about Kentucky:

the first state supported deaf school west of the applichaians
The City of Firsts-Danville
Total access for deaf in medical settings, i.e. interpreters, tty's, especially in Danville.
The Mall deaf socials in Louisville, Florence and Lexington
the close-knit community
And yes there are a lot to do after night hours---4th Street Live in Louisville..Bowling in Richmond with the disco lights....to name a few.

Lake Cumberland and Land betwen the Lakes are two beautiful lakes to fish and take a boat ride..
There are also plenty of ATV riding places---also camping!
The living costs are pretty cheap compared to some states.
Oh and yes MOONLITE's BBQ is the best!!! Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn - Owensboro Barbecue Restaurant, BBQ Online Store Featuring Country Ham, Mutton, Burgoo, BBQ Ribs and More
Hmmm what else??
A free college education if you go to Berea College for real!

The worst? Hmm--some places with employment issues. 4 seasons.. tho I love the 4 seasons, I have a bad allergy when the spring comes, GRRR!

Maybe you wanna include different countries, too, Philip?

The worst and best of my "state" which is defined as a whole country that is Norway if I'm not mistakened...

The best of Norway: Gorgeous fjords and beautiful nature! Love it that Norway is very conscious of environment. It's safe in a large sense compared to many other countries. Small population, close families. Great for families and small children. Some cool holidays like Midsummer day. Great food. Some laws are good. One of the richest countries in the world. Many people are salt of the earth.

The worst of Norway: We get avlanches and mudslides now and then in the wild country. Some places can be dangerous to drive in.. like zero visibility in the mountains when it's snowing and blowing strong wind, and when one is driving in complete darkness in twists and turns that aren't lighted. Don't get me started about some other laws... and Norway is one of the most expensive places to live in. If you thought Hawaii was expensive to live in, Norway is worse than Hawaii!

After having visited your country in the summer of 2006, I can support all of what you said about your country. I will never forget how safe it was in Norway, especially that it was ok to leave your bag on some chair and walk off outside to look at the sea (I mean, in a ferry boat.) But yes, Norway is jaevla expensive! 20 kr for a small bottle of soda, and 400 kr for one night in Tromsø... mein Gott!
 
Utah is the state where I live in.

Cool things about Utah: Beautiful Rocky Mountains on the egde of Salt Lake City, home of several ski resorts, many wonderful hiking opportunities, a lot of beautiful animals to see such as elks, moose, etc..., beautiful desert in the southern parts of the state, several national parks, beautiful sight of Monument Valley, etc...

Worst of Utah: monopoly of the public life by the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints, pollution trapped by the mountains in the wintertime (a.k.a. inversion layers), a red state (dominately republicans), avalanches (mostly due to people's irresponsible behaviours in the outbacks), mudslides (mostly due to developpers' unwillingness to leave mountains alone, building numerous houses on mountains), silly Salt Lake law that requires all residents to maintain green grass landscape, etc...
 
Pennsylvania :

+ The peace and the quiet

- Lack of Deaf social life

Texas :

+ Hot to warm weather year round with plenty of sunlight

- Dealing with the crime rate
 
I am not from Georgia, but I have lived here since 1994 so I feel like I am a Georgia native. :D

The best things about Georgia are: Atlanta, Savannah, girls, lower taxes, warm and hot weather.

The worst things about Georgia are: traffic in and around Atlanta, lack of mass transit system especially in the northern suburbs, illegal immigrants, ad valorem tax and smog.

------------------

I grew up in Tennessee so I will try to list some.

The best things about Tennessee are: Memphis BBQ, Chattanooga and rural life.

The worst things about Tennessee are: Tennessee Volunteers fans, hillbillies, country music, blue-collared jobs, higher sales tax and illegal immigrants.

From my own observation, most retirees prefer to live in and around Crossville/Fairfield Glade, which is located just within hours from Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nashville-Davidson. The Crossville area is pretty much rural. You can find some good retiree communities on the outlying areas of Crossville, Chattanooga and Knoxville.
 
Victoria, Australia

Good: Sightseeing, lots deaf!

Bad: Water restrictions, drought n so on
 
I live in the sunny california. :)

The best: many outdoor things u can do, sunshine almost year round, Disneyland and other amusement parks, beaches, Hollywood, palm trees. We have deserts, mountains as well. The cities are international with all races. Mexican food is good.

The worst: expensive to live--especially in cities, traffic, smog (los angeles), houses becoming unaffordable--$400,00 to $500,000 average in cities, illegal aliens. Don't move to Los Angeles cuz it have 12 million ppl in its county. :shock:
 
Alabama.


Good: Rural enough for me, yet still got the cities.

Bad: It gets cold, but it NEVER FREAKING SNOWS!!!!
