What state have you lived the longest amount of time in?
Edited on Wed May-02-07 12:36 PM by mvd
If you haven't lived in a state, you can pick an equivalent.

I have lived in my current state, Pennsylvania, for 16 years
I lived in Maryland for 14 years

So, PA is the answer.

10. Illinois for several decades
then I saw the light and moved to Wisconsin, where I've been for 7 years. WI is wonderful.

Deep inside I never really felt like I belonged in Illinois, but I couldn't tell my parents that I only felt normal when we went to the Dells or the Fourth of July parade in Milwaukee...

35. The Evergreen State, baby!
I've lived here probably four times as long as in my home-state of Texas. The weather is better; after all, 100% humidity manifests itself better as rain rather than as a hot wet wall of cotton like it does in Texas.

41. Indiana and Tennessee are practically a draw for me.
Although I was raised in Indiana, I really prefer Nashville as a place to live- more variety. More "character". I wouldn't mind moving back there one day.

42. Connecticut wins! 15-11!
At least Maryland can hold its heads up high...

Also in the tournament: upstart Hawai'i takes third at 6 1/2, followed by Illinois at 3, New York, New Jersey and Louisiana at 2, and California earns the top draft pick with 1.
