-Lots of great authors too

-many really good bands in certain genres

-hot lobster rolls

-freedom

-the sox

-the Hartford convention

-bussing

-fife and drum corps

-seafaring and poo poo

Edit: please note that this in depth op ('the big dig' as I call it) is a WIP (work in progress) and will be updated as I think of more cool things

Can't believe I forgot chowder in the op, just goes to show you how much great stuff there is in New England. Adding it now, and clear broth is cool with me but if anyone posts manhattan style chowder itt so help me I'll gut you like a bluefish

Hey sect buddy! Ever go to universal foods in noank? They had the best pizza in the mystic area imo, though it's now an artisanal bakery or some poo poo.

MA has:

The Patriots
The Red Sox
The Bruins
The Celtics

I've lived here all my life so I don't know what it's like having teams of losers as the home team. We also have:

-those cape cod chips that are good
-free healthcare with no copays if you don't make much money or are a college student thanks to Mitt Romney of all people
-hellish winters
-hellish summers for a month or two mostly due to the humidity
-really great springs and falls unless you think 45-50f is cold at night then it's a little less great I guess but you're a pussy
-the ocean on multiple sides of the state kind of unless you live in western mass which isn't really mass at all
-logan, the airport, could be and has been worse
-cheap seafood
-cheap eggs and stuff
-mcdonalds and walmart and poo poo pay around $15/hr even though our state minimum wage is $11/hr officially
-you can get 2-3 bedroom apartments cheap as long as it's not near boston and is in an old city
-our drivers are alright
-rotaries (roundabouts) that out of state drivers always gently caress up and then beep at you for not loving up
-NYC, Providence, and Boston are all an hour or three away from you
-lots of state troopers and local police don't care and let you off with warnings or don't even bother pulling you over
-surprising amount of lakes, ponds, and wildlife stuff to do, varied terrain, lots of decent wilderness stuff plus NH/VT/ME are close

Some cons:
-our liquor stores aren't open on sundays
-grocery stores don't sell liquor, I don't drink alcohol so these two don't matter to me
-you have to deal with RI drivers in a lot of the state, a fate worse than death, they drive roughly 20 under the speed limit and 50 under traffic
-we have a lot of shithole cities that used to be mill cities but are now just places where people sell and buy drugs perpetually in $500/mo 2 bedroom apartments that were built in 1905
-houses cost a lot but not SF a lot
-taxes are higher than other states and our state government will imprison and fine the gently caress out of you if you don't pay swiftly

I feel that the West Coast will get hit by global warming much harder than the East.

probably for a good reason, too.
