US states visited and lived

[eestlinc]

Where in the US have you been, lived, or flown through. Here are the fifty states (plus the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands for fun). By each, put lived, visited, airport, or nothing. Then you can count up each category at the bottom if you like. If you have visited and been to the airport, just put visited. Even if you don't live in the US you can play along if you have visited or flown through!

Alabama - visited
Alaska - lived (well, moving there in two weeks)
Arizona - nothing
Arkansas - nothing
California - visited

I've only lived in Ohio.

[Fujiko]

I have never been to the US.

[Bunny]

I've lived in North Carolina, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Mississippi, Maryland, and Colorado.

I've visited Arizona, Idaho, Washington D.C., Nebraska, Kansas, and Hawaii.

I've sat in airports in Missouri, New York, and Georgia.

I'm not entirely sure if I've covered them all.

[Rye]

I've lived in New York and Rhode Island. I don't recommend living in Rhode Island unless you like poverty & dejection (most of Providence), farms (everywhere in Rhode Island sans Providence and Newport), or are a millionaire and can afford property in one of the most beautiful places in New England that makes RI a redeemable spot to visit (Newport~ <3 I love seaport towns).

I've visited: Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, (very very northern) Virginia. I've not done very much US traveling. I wasn't taken by most of these states, to be honest.

Delaware had nothing in it, in the part I drove through, so I didn't get to form a proper opinion.

Virginia was downright frighteningly bare to the point where it gave me goosebumps because there was nothing for maybe 20 or 30 miles except one collapsing house with a rocker chair in front of it. I'm sure there's something in other parts of it, but this part I was in formed a very bad impression on me. xD

The part of Massachusetts I was in was practically Rhode Island since it was just at the border, though I'm dying to visit Boston because it seems really nice clean city. The part of Mass I was in was pretty nice though, despite being kind of bare like the rest of RI.

Maryland kind of freaked me out because I thought it was supposed to be really pretty and clean, especially in DC, but it was actually really ghetto in the parts I visited and I was chased by the homeless there. :| I've heard there are pretty parts of it though, so I'll have to visit again.

Connecticut & NJ were nothing that seemed very different from New York. I wouldn't mind living in Connecticut or NJ, as long as they're Manhattan centralized. I wouldn't live in Newark though.

I did like Philly though, when I visited in Pennsylvania. I wouldn't mind living in Penn for the most part. :greenie:

I want to visit California, Hawaii (Rye goes somewhere west past an East Coast state for the first time in her life - I've only traveled east before!) and Charlotte, in North Carolina (Rye visits the deep South!) North Carolina sounds really pretty from what my parents have told me.

[Del Murder]

I have been to Nevada, Washington, Arizona, and New York to visit.
I have been only to airports in Ohio, Massachusetts, and Georgia.
I have lived in California.

[Psychotic]

Been to New Jersey (fuck New Jersey), Florida and California.

[Rye]

Been to New Jersey (smurf New Jersey), Florida and California.

You were in Newark right?

You were in the durtttiest of the durtttyyy jersssssey in that case. God rest your soul.

I was stranded there for 48 hours because of storms messing up planes. I think I wanted to kill myself by hour 17.

Oh dear god.

For those who don't know, Newark is like... how to describe it... what people in the other parts of the country incorrectly picture NYC to look like - a cesspool of crime, sex and drugs, like NYC was decades ago before it got cleaned up and was made into a generally clean, nice, cultured place, except smelling like an armpit on top of that, in true New Jersey fashion!

Oh Newark. :greenie:

You were in Newark right?


You mean hell?

[Denmark]

North Carolina is totally the Deep South!
:nonono:

Also, there is not one nice part of New Jersey and if you think there is you are WRONG. Newark is the worst part though.

PS Rye: the rest of Delaware is just more nothing. And the southernmost of the three counties in Delaware, Sussex County, was described by one of my relatives who lives there as "the northernmost county in Alabama". If you want a taste of the Deep South, go there. :p

[Rye]

Since when were the Carolinas not deep south?! =O

[Raistlin]

Southern Delaware (and the near border areas of Maryland) is definitely redneck central. Northern Delaware (Newark, Wilmington, etc.) are the better areas.

EDIT: Also, the "Deep South" doesn't really start until South Carolina. At least North Carolina has largely gotten over the Civil War.

[Denmark]

Rye: Ever since they've been north of Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama.

[Kirobaito]

North Carolina is not the Deep South. The Deep South is Louisiana to South Carolina, and even South Carolina is iffy. North Carolina has always been kind of an outcast state.

[Darkswordofchaos]

i wouldent say that NC is the deep south but its defanitaly the south

[eestlinc]

The airport is the nicest part of Newark.

South Carolina is definitely deep south, being the origin of the Civil War. North Carolina is borderline.

[Denmark]

You've got a point with the Civil War thing, eest. North Carolina's definitely not Deep South though, at least in my opinion. We should really ask foa about that one though.

I wish family reunions were actually fun. It would have made visiting these states so much better!

Virginia is a pretty nice state, at least the more eastern areas I've visited. And in a couple of weeks it will change from a "visited" to "lived" (at least for the next few years).

Your NC people must live in the northern parts of Charlotte if your parents think it's pretty. Probably around Gastonia. Charlotte the city is just an awful place. I hate it, but I've also only been in the bad parts of it according to former Charlottonians.

Yes you should. ;)

Deep South, as far as I've always reckoned, consists of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and south Georgia. Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia are all considered Old South. Arkansas and Kentucky are also part of the South Florida, as we all know, is part of New England.

Some historians consider the Deep South to extend far, far north of that, however, stretching up the VA coastline... but mysteriously excluding the Appalachians.


I don't consider NC part of the Deep South. I don't even really consider SC to be Deep South, nor northern GA. Southern GA and anything with a Gulf Coast is Deep South for me.

EDIT: Except Texas. Texas is Southwest.

[Marshall Banana]

I live in Kentucky, and I've stayed in southern California for weeks at a time. I'll move to California, eventually.

I've visited Dollywood in Tennessee, drove through Indiana (and hated it), and visited a town near Chicago in Illinois. I've been in various airports throughout the midwest!

[Kirobaito]

You :bou::bou::bou::bou:talkin my state?
Actually, no, quite the opposite. It's never really fit in with the rest of the South, with its large antebellum population of free blacks, general reluctance to secede, and really happenin' little cities like Asheville. Even with the geographical challenges, it's for reasons like these that I didn't include it in the Deep South.

In this case, not fitting in with your neighbors is a compliment.

[Raistlin]

I don't consider NC part of the Deep South. I don't even really consider SC to be Deep South, nor northern GA. Southern GA and anything with a Gulf Coast is Deep South for me.

EDIT: Except Texas. Texas is Southwest.

I consider South Carolina part of the Deep South largely from a historical perspective. It and Georgia were the two major slave states post-Revolution which forced a bunch of pro-slavery compromises in the Constitution. South Carolina continued to be a major slave state and was the most radical pro-secession state leading up to the Civil War. It continues to be the state where you see the most Confederate flags, hence my facetious comment that "at least North Carolina has largely gotten over the Civil War." Except for the coastal areas (the only places I've been), it is my understanding that the state is still very culturally south, more similar to other Deep South states than states with a bit more northern influence like Virginia.

I concur. For the 15 years i lived in Charlotte it was mostly nothing but Trafick crack heads and gang violence. In my middle school you were NOT allowed to were a plain t-shirt cause no matter what color it was it was a gang color. There are nice parts all along the edge of charlotte though not just the north side. on the south side is ballentine witch is probably the richest nicest part of the whole city

yeap thats it theres the deep south and then just the south NC and SC are just the south Also might add that central SC is the hottest area in the whole of America exluding dead vally. in the summer Its usally between 90-110 degrees every day and that is befor you include the 85-100% hummidity levels. If youve ever experinced 100% humidity you know how god awful it is. The air is completely saturated so your sweat just stays sweat and it dosent evaparate away to cool you. The air practicly chokes and crushes you

Edit: WTF is wrong with states not in the south? Havent you people ever heard of sweet tea?
Stayin in AZ i cant get a glass no were i ask for it and they look at me like im crazy or bring me plain tea with sugger packs. Then if i put in the suger packs they look like "ewww thats nasty.
And i say "No that :bou::bou::bou::bou: you gave me is nasty"
