Which N.E. state best represents New England? (beach, associations)

[jp646]

Out of the six New England states, which one best fits the description of the associations you personally make with the region as a whole?

This is a hard one.. But I'll say CT.

[Infamous92]

Massachusetts .

[ReluctantGardenStater]

I classify New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine as "northern New England".

Some areas of Connecticut seem to be the perfect representation of New England. For example, Mystic.

Ma. followed by Ct. Just as the poll results show.

I think Mass epitomizes New England the best because it has everything New England is known for- something of a microcosim (sp?). the ocean (classic resort beach towns and rocky shored fishing towns); ancient wooded mountains; typical New England towns with commons and white steeples along with medium-sized mill cities. Farms, cities, wilderness, the sea- it's all represented well.

It is in southern New England but the most central of the 6 states. It is also the most populated and has the un-official capital of New England- Boston.

I realize no 1 state can represent New England but Massachusetts is the closest IMO.

[Boston14]

Massachusetts biggest one
