As the title states, which part of the U.S. do you live in? How is it where you live? Exciting? Boring? Extravagant? Simple? Populous? Deserted? Busy? Slow? Hot 24/7? Cold 24/7?

littledinosaurs · 9th Jan 2010, 11:25 PM

I assume North actually means New England & Mid-Atlantic?

biisme · 9th Jan 2010, 11:25 PM

What happened to "East" in this poll?

Southeast...Northeast...or just plan East?

I live in New England...which is Northeast...

Zach1992 · 9th Jan 2010, 11:58 PM

Northeast & it's boring as hell here! I want to be in NYC!!

**Gerry** · 10th Jan 2010, 12:01 AM

West... at least I guess that's what Nevada would be considered.

Étoile · 10th Jan 2010, 12:22 AM

There're technically only 4 U.S. Census regions: North, South, Midwest, and West. I wasn't sure if to include the others, so I narrowed it down to these 4 plus the Southwest.

biisme, wouldn't the East be everything east of the Mississippi River aka the North and the South?

mattypants · 10th Jan 2010, 12:49 AM

i thought southwest=west? New Mexico isnt considered the 'south' by anyone is it?

answering topic in order:
which part of the U.S. do you live in? west side!

How is it where you live? pretty cool
Exciting? Boring? a crazy kind of exciting i guess
Extravagant? Simple? both depending on how close you are to the major cities
Populous? Deserted? very populous!
Busy? Slow? busy and FAST. the speed limit is considered 'slow'
Hot 24/7? Cold 24/7? um....inbetween i guess.

midwest? minnesota where we have snow up to your waist.

Courtneyyy · 10th Jan 2010, 03:08 AM

Southwest.

I <3 the southwest desert of Arizona!

xballetxbeautyx · 10th Jan 2010, 06:09 AM

Courtneyyy- I'm so jealous. My grandparents have a house in Aizona and I get to gonout once or twice a year, and it's my favorite place to be!

I'm from the Midwest, where it's boring and we have over a foot of snow piled up.

Katherine · 10th Jan 2010, 07:21 AM

Whoops, I accidentally clicked "North." Couldn't be further from the truth.

I live in the suburbs of Georgia about half an hour outside of Atlanta. I like to say that I live right in the buckle of the Bible Belt. But there's a HUGE difference between the social climate of the suburbs/more rural areas and the actual city.

It's not entirely interesting. I mean, Atlanta is interesting when I go there, but the suburbs around it are pretty damn boring, haha. In Atlanta it's VERY busy (traffic is absolutely insane and it can take an hour to get somewhere that's 8 miles away). It gets REALLY hot here in the summers, around 90 F every day, and snows very rarely in the winter (maybe once or twice a year, and even then it's usually not more than half an inch).

But yeah, I'd rather live somewhere else, to be honest. There's too many deer-shooting, beer-guzzling gun-toting rednecks around here for my taste.

Wait a minute, I just realized I typed out this whole reply to a thread created by someone who also lives in Georgia. Haha, I guess you already knew all that, huh?

^^is "First day of Deer Season" a school holiday down there too?

SshhhSTFU · 10th Jan 2010, 07:45 AM

Well thats pretty dumb because Florida would be considered east because it's on the east coast, and it is very much different from Massachusetts weather and culture wise...

ANightDude · 10th Jan 2010, 08:10 AM

I live in Texas.

But Texas is really the only "South" state. Georgia, Mississippi, Lousiana, etc. are Southeast, so... just saying.

Joe622 · 10th Jan 2010, 08:15 AM

Born and raised in the Northeast!

kettleoffish · 10th Jan 2010, 09:07 AM

The Regions are as follows

Northeast- Which divides into New England (MA,ME,NH,VE,RI,CT) and Mid-Atlantic (NY,PN,NJ,MD*,DE*,DC*,VA*,WV*)

Midwest- Which divides into East North Central (WI,MI,IL,IN,OH) and West North Central (MO,ND,SD,NE,KA,MN,IA)

South- Which divides into South Atlantic (MD*,DE*,DC*,VA*,WV*,NC,SC,GA,FL), East South Central (KY,TN,MS,AL) and West South Central (OK,TX,AR,LA)

West- Which divides into Mountain (ID,MT,WY,NV,UT,CO,AZ,NM) and Pacific (AK,CA,OR,WA)

I also think all the subregions are very important. I mean I don't really know the other ones that well(so correct me if I misplaced a state), but I sure as hell Know New England vs Mid-Atlantic cause I live in the area.

*These states are sometimes put in different ones, but I'd call them Mid-Atlantic.

Yep, I already know about all of that.

xCrazyInsanity, we aren't THAT country. LOL littledinosaurus, you're right but I thought narrowing it down would make it easier.
