Not an easy choice, but I chose Massachusetts, with Vermont a close second, New Hampshire third.

What, it makes sense to me. I like all the New England states but those are my least favorite. Is that actually really stupid sounding when I thought it sounded normal? lol Is it? I literally turned red when I saw you said my post made you rofl for real.

My favorite state is Massachusetts, always loved Boston, always loved Springfield.

Then distantly on my list are (please note, these are solely based off of personal opinion, not trying to offend anyone!)

New Hampshire- Isn't this where Mr. Deeds is from? Lol.
Maine- Portland is a very pretty city, and I once saw this picture of a lighthouse and it looked cool near the coast!!
Rhode Island- Peter Griffin's neck of the woods!
Vermont- Hey, it was it's own country for a limit period time, just like toys in a cereal box!
Connecticut- Because Adam West doesn't go there, because, "If he were to enter Connecticut, he would be entering every state Connecticut has ever been with"

I've been to all of them except for Vermont. My favorite one is Maine though. I went to Bar Harbor; there's a street there with restaurants, shops, and hotels that was really cute. Massachusetts is #2 because of Cambridge.

I was referring to Southern New England being vastly inferior. I just prefer the landscape (much less urbanized), people, and culture of Northern New England. The only places I would live in the Northeast, if not for the weather, are Maine, and some parts of Vermont and New Hampshire.

Haha, it's ok, it happens.
He was referring to how you said Vermont and New Hampshire are better than Maine, when at the same time you said Maine is your least favorite out of them all.
