How far are you from the nearest state line? (home, live)

[pch1013]

Let's see how many of us live close to a state line (or international border, if that's the shortest way out of your state). Use the most direct road distance from your home to the nearest border of your state.

In my case, the distance is 188 miles (San Francisco to South Lake Tahoe, NV).

Downtown Los Angeles to San Ysidro, CA (border with Mexico) - 133 miles.

To another US state:

Downtown Los Angeles to Primm, NV (stateline) - 227 miles
Downtown Los Angeles to Ehrenberg, AZ (stateline) - 227 miles

Depending on where you are in Pittsburgh, it is between 25-40 miles to the WV and OH state line near Weirton/Steubenville(the northern tip of the panhandle). Just to go deeper it is ~85 miles to Friendsville Maryland (closest town that I could punch into google maps), and 146 miles to Ripley NY, 297 miles to Wilmington DE and 308 miles to Camden NJ. I just thought that it would be interesting to provide distances to all the states surrounding to give a better idea of the location

Edit: I just realized that technically PA shares a border with Canada via lake Erie so Ontario is fair game. Pittsburgh to Niagara Falls ON is 241 miles

Fair enough. My 'other' states are:

Oregon - 334 miles
Arizona - 555 miles

Distance to Mexico - 517 miles

I believe I am virtually equidistant to both Illinois and Ohio.

But the border between MD and DC is a "state line," is it not? MD is a state.

Inner Loop Houston to the western edge of Cameron Parish, Louisiana is ~100 miles.
