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.

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.
