States! Since everyone

States! Since everyone is making threads about their home states, let's just have a place to share/talk about what state you live in. Also, for writers, if you have questions about an area, here would be a good place to ask them!

I live in Central IL. Although I'm lucky enough to live close to a small city (college town sized, I guess?) I don't really like living here. One of the reasons is because we get both extremes when it comes to temperature. The coldest day I remember experiencing was -15 degrees, it usually gets down to negatives in the winter, and in the summer, we always have at least a couple 100 degree days. Argh! A perk of living in Central IL is that I'm pretty much right in the middle of 3 big cities- Chicago, Indy, and St. Louis. So if I wanted to move to a city or go to college in one when I was older, I woulld have options, and it wouldn't be too far of a stretch.

What about you guys?

Seriously? Northern Virginia? Is it anywhere near Arlington/ the DC area? Because I have a lot of family up there.

None of you people who live in Portland, Oregon happen to have known a girl named Makea B., do you? She was my friend who moved from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon several years ago. She just moved to...North Dakota or something, but I wonder if anyone knew her?

I live in Maryland, super close to D.C.. I could walk there if I felt like it. The problem living so close is that I'm totally spoiled by the Smithsonians. The thought of having to pay for museums is utterly foreign to me.

I live in Olympia, Washington. I would say it's super rainy, but there's been surprisingly little rain for Washington. Also, I live in the capitol city of our state! Go me!

I live in Pennsylvania. I know of at least one other CBer who lives in this state. Anyone else? If any of you ever find yourselves in about the smallest country 'town' ever on the map (really, it is just a cross roads, with a gas station a hardware store.), keep your eyes open for a tall redhaired lady! ;D

I live in Kentucky, and I LOVE it here. I'm way out in the country, which is awesome, and we get fairly moderate weather. Any other Kentuckians out there? Also, @Vyolette, It's snowing where you are? Lucky! I wish it was snowing here.

On this thread, two other people live in the same state as me. Random comment about snow: the weather forecast was saying like 40% chance of snow accumulation, although I doubt it's actually going to snow.

@ Bluebird

I also live in central IL. I agree with you about the temputures - only getting one extreme wouldn't be as bad but since we have both it can get really anohnying. Aparrently we're suppossed to get a cold winter this year. I however like living here, mainly because I've lived here all my life and can't imagine living anywhere else.

I recently moved from Delaware to New Jersey, so I consider myself a Del-Jersian.
