David,

I'm from Tennessee and work in Huntsville, AL now.  Lisa (BB Stacker) & I are R/L friends - we bonded over beers and trivia a few years ago (3?).  (She said it was OK to tell people that.)  The home of my heart, however, is Boston, MA where I lived for 8 years.  When circumstances permit, I'll be moving on -- I just feel too out-of-step with most of the people around me.  It can be tiresome and lonely.

You should go check out our frappr map and add yourself, if you haven't already done so:

I see we U.S. Midwesterners are in the majority. (All three of us, as of this writing.)

I have lived in the Chicago area since January, but am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and lived there most of my life. I also lived in New Orleans for seven years. (I also lived very briefly in Ketchum, Idaho, and in New York.) I have never seen a BetterMost member from either Minnesota or Louisiana, but if there are any, drop me a line, say if your there!

And Stephanie and David, who you callin conservative? Minnesota was the only state in the union to vote for Walter Mondale against Ronald Reagan in 1984 (course, Mondale is from Minnesota). Actually, though, Minnesota has voted for Democrats in every presidential election. So has Illinois, I believe (well, I guess not in 1984). Politically, at least, not all of the Midwest is conservative.

Socially, it may be a different story ...

I chose U.S. Northeast/East even though I'm more technically in the South (Boca Raton, Florida - on the east coast between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale).  I think of Florida more as the East Coast than as the South because most people here, at least in this part of Florida, are from New York anyway.

Good idea for a poll, David!  And welcome.  :)

Welcome to BetterMost David!

   It is so much nicer here than IMDB.   And we have all these great pictures too!

I am a true blue Connecticut Yankee.   But as of late, I have been adding alot of "Y'alls, sure enoughs, and tell you whats" to my dialog!   LOL.     I think my next collector car will actually be an old Jack Twist type of pick up truck.  This way I can wear my Black cowbot hat in it!     :)

Welcome to BetterMost David, I'm sure you'll love it here.

I was born in Arizona, but we moved to Illinois when I was 9 months old, so I'm definitely a midwesterner. Home is in southern IL but I go to college in the Chicago suburbs.
