I've done a fair bit of traveling in my time. I've been to South America, Europe, Africa and other such destinations. But I live on the coast in the U.S. and it occured to me that while I've been to LA and NY and other large cities along the coasts, I've never been to any places inbetween (aside from some layovers, which probably don't count).
Which one would you rather live in and why? Which do you think is better in terms of housing, food, culture, lifestyle and just overall aesthetics?
PA has a tidal river, that should make it count as coastal, but people insist it's not. I dunno. It's certainly not flyover country, but then again neither is Illinois or Ohio.

Sounds like you ought to know your own country better so you can better compare the US to other lands. Coastal cities are a small part of what makes up the 50 states.
I think coastal vs non-coastal is a bad way to sort places. The two groups are not culturally cohesive. Most of the places I would prefer to live in are cities on the coast, not because they are on the coast but because they have a particular type of culture. The city I live in has the same culture but is in the middle of the continent, there are other interior places that are similar. On the other hand there coastal places that I would never want to live in.
In short there are redneck places on the coasts and sophisticated cities in "flyover country".
If an state's lowest point is sea Level, then it is coastal. That makes Pennsylvania coastal.
