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?

I live in NYC! I've actually been all over, though. I have family near Horseheads, NY, friends in New Jersey, family in Virginia (we sightsaw around Richmond once!), used to have family in Maryland, I've been to North Carolina once (to visit family - seeing a trend yet?), and I've been in quite a few places in Cali, but mostly near Sacramento as my grandparents live in the mountains near there. It would be funny if I'd ever come across a CBer and not known it!

Oh, and @coyotedomino - Brooklyn is not "outside New York City"! We're the heart of NYC. As a friend of mine once said, "I feel like New York's boroughs are sort of ranked in terms of how city-like they are: Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island, in that order." Brooklyn is very, very much NYC.

Yeah, I know, but what I meant is it's not Manhattan.

@Kitten- Where do you live?

Oh, yeah. Guess what? It rained all of last night, so no more snow! :( There are just the melting ruins of a snow fort, and rotten leaves. Lovely.

Sorry, I don't know Makea. I may have seen her somewhere though, but without a photo I can't really tell, and I think it's unlikely. Clockwork Sparrow; if you see a tall girl with unruly light brown hair going down just to the nape of her neck with a green streak, freckles, and tan skin,that's me!
