I picked choice #4. Never lived in Mass but had relatives that did. We lived in NYC and I distinctly remember visiting my cousins in Mass several times a year. They lived a very urban area (can't quite remember which town) for many years but moved to Fitchburg later on. I truly remember thinking that this was such a change! Fitchburg was such a small, quaint, green town, compared to where they lived before. So those are the images that define Massachusetts to me.

Liberal, lapsed Catholics, Irish-Americans, the Celtics, (I'm disinterested in almost all sports now, but as a boy in the 1980s I liked basketball), prestigious colleges, Cheers, Wings, and David E. Kelley series. (Boston Public, The Practice, Ally McBeal)
Or put more in geographic terms Boston and to a lesser-extent the Cape Cod area.
