On the Yank and Northener deal, well, I'm prefer to call myself a Yank. My dad's side is from Jaw-jah so whether we like it or not, we get called Yanks.

Well, I tell one thing, football is friggin' awesome "up" here

I love it in the fall and freezing my butt off in the stands w/the smell of hot chocolate and popcorn in the air, hehe

Plus, we have some big ole boys

Hmm let's see...I also dig the..

..country..weenie roasts, bonfires, mud running, festivals (where else do you have a fair centering around a really bad onion?, and the food!! True, we may not have the jumbo of the south and the texmex of the west but dag on, where else is frog/deer/turtle (sorry DZ's), and etc good eatin'?

Oh, love the VARIOUS accents

Heck, I think Ohio (or as I say "Ahh-hii-ya" ) has easily 6 different versions.

Now, that's the BEST thing about being a New Yorker.

And yes, I know, I live in Boston - but I was born and raised in CT, and was born and raised a Yankee fan.

Now my home sweet home NEW YORK CITY is segregated in some areas and not in others, but NYC has diversity like no other place I know of.

That's true about New York City.

I love New York!

New York Yankees

The North is also home to the greatest Baseball team (Yankees) and the most awful disgusting team (Red Sox) ever.

Well, the Red Sox are winning this series so far, so they are obviously not an "awful disgusting team."

I lived in southern RI for 24 years, and I thought it was not diverse at all. I moved up to Boston (Somerville to be exact), and it was such a shock. There were people of all different cultures, which was a nice change, but it was certainly weird at first. But the neighborhood I live in is mostly Irish it seems, not very diverse here either.

I've gotta agree with you on that one.

Born in Connecticut, living in Boston, but from birth till death I'll be a Yankees fan.

(and I'm a true Yankees fan - been one since the 80s, when Don Mattingly, Rickey Henderson, Willie Randolph and Dave Winfield were on the team).

I was born and raised in the Northeast (New York and Connecticut) and now live in the Southwest. I miss the variety that the seasons offered most of all.

Hey!
You don't call living in Maine "The way life should be" for any reason! And its also not called VacationLand for any other reason!!!!!! I love it here! Except for the State Bird... LOL The BlackFly!!!
