"Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego destroy anything the east coast has to offer. "

This is a terrible post so I'm going to break it down.

Seattle - I enjoy seeing the sun. Many other people would agree with me. Seattle isn't even a top 5 West Coast city.
San Francisco - Great scenic city. But LOL @ living IN that city if you aren't super liberal.
San Diego - Basically a tourist place or an area for beach bums. Not a legit top city.

New York, Philly, D.C., Miami. I just listed 4 cities that are undoubtedly better. San Francisco is probably on par with Philly. D.C., NY, and Miami are all better than any WC city. And I didn't even include Boston which many people would put up with those cities. Nor Atlanta, Charlotte, or Baltimore.

@hatersunite: Lol, I know! I was kinda acting like a jerk, but was trying to be funny

"I live in NC, sorry for posting late. I'll post on the South thread, if it comes around"

North Carolina belongs in the East Coast thread. You might have southern accents, southern food, etc. However, when I think of the south I think Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana.

I'll jump in as another person from MA, lol. It's great that we have four seasons and such variety. There is a lot of history around here, but you get used to it if you live here. I live in the city where John Adams and John Quincy Adams were born, as well as Dorothy and John Hancock's house. We do have great sport teams as well, Red Sox just won the last two games ;D. It is also very cool to be surrounded by such awesome colleges as well. Another great thing is the mass transit, as you literally never have to drive anywhere. The MBTA (in MA) brings you between Quincy, Boston, and Cambridge, which is also pretty awesome.

"Living in the East Coast is quite interesting if you ask me. Well at least in NY it is. (NYC that is) the people here are diverse and you’ll never get bored. Sadly I must say you’ll have to get used to the weird hobos on the street (and trains), the horrifying yet capricious weather and the gangs/ or people you wouldn’t normally associate with. Many people say us NYers are rude and insolent. The truth is we’re not. But in the mornings you generally won’t see a loquacious NYer. If you warmly greet us and we don’t know you, we’ll think you’re a psychotic predator. And oh if you ever plan to travel around here don’t make it obvious you’re a tourist. But to sum it all up, I wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else either. Its chaotic, and we are literally the city that never sleeps, but its worth living here."

You just described every major city. That's not just a NYC thing. San Francsico's homeless make NYC's look insignificant.

Uhhhm, allright. That ship has sailed, my friend. We were only the largest prodcer of tobacco, famous for textiles, and are the furniture capital of the world. Most people associate those things with the South lol. Besides, people from Texas, Virginia, etc. are posting there, so it doesn't matter

"^^ Driving in Manhattan is a suicide mission. I tried once, (not mentioning I don't even have a license) and almost got into repeated accidents from other people driving insane.

The other day, I was walking near Columbus and 60th and three people were crossing the street just as the light turned green and the cars were like "Dude, lights green, we're hitting you." and seriously started driving while these people ran out of the street."

This is why I love Manhattan. Just such a clusterfu$$.

True. But IMO a true southern state would never go blue. NC has even banned smoking in bars.

"Common mistake... it actually rains more in NYC and Boston, just to name a few."

This actually is not true. The total rainfall is indeed greater in NYC and Boston however on average NYC gets rain 118 days a year. Boston averages 126 days a year. Seattle averages 154 days a year with rain. It is also important to consider that a large portion of that rain in the northeast is a quick thunderstorm or summer shower. There is no doubt that Seattle is a dreary city.

^Well, I support no smoking in bars, but we must to agree to disagree I guess. I mean it is very counter-intuitive to believe that the state famous for tabacco would ban smoking in bars, but it does make the air cleaner, cuts down on second-hand smoke, and may (long shot, but people have hope) cut down cigarette consumption/purchases.

Could you be more of a bandwagon fan?

im so glad nj has banned smoking in all public buildings ... well except for AC.

Uhm, please read all of my posts before you act macho behind your desk where we don't know who you are. Please try reading what I wrote instead of only using select parts out of context. Sheesh. You like to be blunt, don't you? If you are going to act like, at least know what you are accusing others of being, please?

So basically you just reiterated that you're a bandwagon fan. Kobe went to my HS and lived a few houses away from me, but I still hate the Lakers.

big dreamer

Did you read my post? Sounds like you are doing anything to irk me over the internet. Wow *look of surprise* Haha, that's too good. I said that I was a bandwagon fan as a 5 year old, and grew to geniunely love those teams. Did I switch to being a Giants fan because they won? No. Did I become a die hard fan of the Celtics for winning? No. Did I suddenly love the Red Sox when the Yanks sucked? No.

Please read and think before responding. Cool fact about Kobe, if it is even true. Geographic location does not instantly make one a fan of the local club. That's why I don't root for the Bobcats, even though they're the NBA team in my state. Elaborate more if you are going to attack me, okay?
