For me on the coast, New England proper (Red Sox land) begins going east from around the end of New Haven. Like maybe around Guilford, definitely by the time you hit the mouth of the CT river.

Inland wise I don't know, I'm not as familiar with those areas in terms of stuff. I just know lobster and clams starts outnumbering pizza and Jewish delis around Guilford.

Mass, NH, VT will all fold. RI is an afterthought. CT and NY are the first real conquests.

Also, Maine is filled with Berzerkers.

My first serious girlfriend’s mother lived in New Hampshire with her boyfriend in a trailer park. She didn’t work and he gambled for a living. One weekend they went to Atlantic City so he could “work” and the gf and I were gonna stay at their place and as they left the boyfriend told me if anyone came by looking for him to not open the door.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
Remember when there was a mountain cliff shaped like an old man’s face and it stood for 12,000 years right up until someone decided to make it the official symbol of New Hampshire and then it promptly collapsed lol

So I doubt it, sadly much/most/all of the paper companies have left the region.

Maine is also hosed because either Stephen King has somehow written it into existence, or it’s actually as bizarre as he makes it out to be in his writing, and I don’t know which is the worse option.

Typical Maine person is named Roscoe Prostrate and manages a backwoods no-name gas station and wears suspenders and has a brush cut and says hyuck every six words and instead of giving you your change back with benign indifference says some cheery poo poo like “Well hell, does a bear poo poo in the buckwheat?

I have an uncle who managed a gas station in Chelmsford for decades. I'm not sure what happened but a few years ago he basically gave up on life. He just stopped caring about poo poo anymore. Lost his job, his house, and I have no loving clue where he is now.

This is the god's honest truth. I live in BFE in the south/mid-atlantic now, and the Mexican food is virtually the same.
