I dont hate much about NC.
It can be boring at times, but its not the states fault, its only my fault for not going to find something new and interesting to do.

The weather changes a lot, it is so bi-polar, but I dont really mind that either. its just crazy.

and I like... some things.
its pretty in most places. yeah. hahaha

[mznikki]

from New Jersey

i love how close malls are, the weather, how close we are to ny, it's never too hot all time or too cold all the time, we're close to the beach and the city, the fall is gorgeous here, its not the middle of nowhere, the suburbs (dispite what everyone says) its a nice peaceful life, close to ski resorts, close to everything in genral, and all the restaurants in my area are great

i don't hate much about new jersey, but i hate how the housing tax is insane, house prices are way too overpirced, how everything is pretty much closed on sundays, how everyone "hates" nj in general.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

NEW YORK.

Awesome:
THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. Awesomest place ever.
Central Park.
Long/Jones beach. Fire Island.
Public transportation. (Taking detours and getting lost is fun)
Best water in the US.
QC/RF Malls.
Upstate is beautiful at this time of year.
Bear Mountain/Thousand Island.
Mets. Jets. Yankees.

Not awesome:
I don't know of any observatories nearby.
LIGHT POLLUTION. Can't see any stars.
Not home to any NASA research centers.
Thunderstorms/floods.
Extreme heat or cold. (Sometimes 100+, sometimes -5)
The homeless.
High crime rate in the city.
The public school system and the fact that we don't get that many snow days anymore.
The Giants. The Knicks.
Tourists who ask you how to get to whatever place by train/bus.
Subway construction.
Delays.
CRAZY traffic.

I want to move to another state.

[pandamonium]

Aw i wanna visit canda, vancouver, and all those good places. It seems so much nicer than the US, and its only north from us. I have been to niagra falls and it was so beauitful and clean there.

but Here in NJ.

Pros
- EVERYTHING IS AROUND NJ and not IN NJ. like NY, philly, Maryland all major hit cities are all around, so easy access.
- there are upcoming suburban areas, so cheaper houses.
- NJ in my opinion is a clean state, from where i lived, its becoming better.
- asians here also. not too many which is good still.
- nothing severe or bad happens here.
- where i live i am close the the shore.
NJ i think is the only place where the beach is actually called a shore. for reasons i do not know.

Cons
-Considered America's Armpit
-There are a lot of sluts in NJ
-can be boring at times

thats about it, i dont hate NJ i love it. NJ is for lovers. lmao

Dirty Jersey , New York has more classs . boooyah


I live in New York :

Pros :
+ Soo many choices so many variety around . The Best place to discover yourself .

+ Temperate Region . Good place to live in for any Season . Summer Winter , Spring or Fall .

+ Our Retail clothing Stores usually get the first batch of clothing lines . We have more updated apparel then in any other malls in the country

+ The Beaches in Southern Long Island , Skiing up in the Adirondacks . Hiking around Syracuse Area. Sightseeing and Gambeling on the Buffalo Side

+ Our education system for public schools are a bit more over the top in standards . Most kids who went to school in New York , has a bit more knowledge in high school . because of the Accelerated programs they offer and the New York State Regents Standards . New York people can be a little bit smarter = )

+ we have some of the best colleges

+ i dont think you can ever get bored .

+ Fishing . Boatriding , the Sea Life .

+ The Metropolitan Life NYC ...buffalo somewhat .

+ We have New York . you can say its one of the best cities in the world .

+ Concerts , Shows , Gigs , Showcases , Clubs , Parties , Events . Thats what you call Entertainment at its highest , folks .

+ The People , Soo many different people.Very Enthusiastic , Fun , very Motivated , Highly Diversified

+Excellent Public programs for the needy , the disabled , the elderly , the homeless and the sick . i don`t get why some people living here doesnt know about that

+ Our State Bird and Our state Flower

+ Our License Plates kick a**


Cons :

+ Pollution .Commercial housing is destroying and manifesting itself until there arent anymore trees in Long Island or upstate anymore

+ The State Police . one of the most leniant . but that wouldnt matter in your records . Hard Fines , Harsh Punishments . Recorded

+ Its getting tooo FREAKING CROWDED i swear . NY residency just quadrupled during the decade . "and we have too keep moving east to the island " during the subway, around stores , . the MALL the beach . blame the incoming people of the traffic even in local town Roads .

+ Living here is a two-edged sword . even though we have the highest facilities and living . Education at its top . and Best of everything . It is a very expensive . Taxes around the area have soared since the past 4 years that why you see so many people selling there houses

+ The People . though being prospective and meeting new people will be rewarding, its really difficult .there is no "Southern Hospitality ". New York aren`t at all really the nicest people in public . Concerned with there individual lives 24/7 ...working and the husstling busseling environment . with fast paced socializing . it will be hard for someone who doesnt have the necessary skill to actually make real friends and have real relationships with people . you have to be smart too who your talking too . And yes highly Diversified the downside of that too many different cliques and groupies based on race and related cultural issues and specific lives that shadows on some negative points ...the point where its hard atoo assimilate in soeciety . Split friends etc.

+ Watch out during the Winter because it can get really Cold . as low as below - . During the summer it can also turn scorching hot around the 100`s where it will be hard too walk on the black asphalt pavements .

+ Gas Gas Gas .

+ with all different goods stores retails , services etc . its also expensive since we do get the 1st batch . even for immigrants who came here which is undecided ont

* for those who are interested in living in New York , its not for the easy-going slow paced relaxed ,enjoyable ,simplistic and hospitable types , if your looking for that then your should move too Californa (except LA ) , Florida , Texas , etc . If you would plan to live here alone . you would really have to be really strong mentally and physically . its for those who can fend for themselves . and where only the Strongest Survives . You would actually have to live Your life 100% , 24/7 too its fullest in order to really survive .

[*mzkandi*]

Likes:
I love the weather and the beaches. I also love the fact that most of my family is from Florida.

Dislikes:
On the flip side, there isn't much to do in Florida. Seriously, Florida isn't all some people hype it up to be. Outside of our beaches, Disney World, and MIAMI there ain't much happening down here.

We don't have much of a winter here which means no snow. *pouts*

Hurricane season.

And like some have mentioned, our public school system needs work.

[tokyo-rose]

What I like about it is that it's one of the places that everyone wants to visit and says I'm lucky to live here, which I agree. New York City pwns. It's also very diverse and the public transportation system make it very easy to get around. You almost don't need a car.

But it's just very polluted and more crime-ridden compared to other states in the US.

[kimmytree]

Aww lucky. I was in British Columbia a few years ago... its beautiful. But it seemed like once you got away from Vancouver, there's like nothing there until you hit eastern Canada.

[*Zatanna*]

Haven't been here that long (I moved to PA a little over two months ago), but so far:

Likes: There's a lot to do here. I'm sure PA natives have their doubts about the availability of things to do, but I've personally found that there's a lot of fun to be had. My son and I went to the science center (which is literally five minutes away) and had a blast. I also love the Strip District and Southside areas. Where my job is (I start Monday, YAY!) in a lovely area (Oakland) and there's a tremendous amount of energy there.

Dislikes: It's cold. Not like the California cold I'm used to, but really bitter, windy cold. I've heard it has just begun too. I'll probably wrap myself up Eskimo style eventually. The rain is been pretty constant for a couple of days now as well. (Although at posting time, it's stopped raining).

There isn't to many things about NC that are too bad

Its not that I hate NC, its mostly just the city I live in. I would love to live near where Kara and Brenden live. Which I'll probably be moving there sometime.
