UPDATE- ***I cannot believe that so many people here are rating the state based on one man, John Kerry. And if you think everyone in Massachusetts is liberal, it simply shows that you have never been here. ***I was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. Its about 20 miles northwest of Boston, right near the New Hampshire border. Massachusetts is a wonderful state to live in as well as visit. Its one of the only states in the world where you can actually experience the total four seasons. In winter, we can have up to 40 inches of snow in a single storm, which is nice New England weather! In Spring, it rains often, sunny other times with mild temperatures. In summer, the temp. can exceed 100 degrees- perfect for the multiple beautiful beaches nearby. In fall, you can experience the cooling off and the beauty of the color in the trees. Lowell is a very historical city. Its the first city in the America's where the first mill was built. Some are still standing today, turned into museums. Lowell has also been rated as The Most Diverse City in America. Its pretty funny that people here call me a rasict, but I live in the most diverse city. Anyway, the rest of Massachusetts has much to offer. There are plenty of beaches available. Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are the perfect vacation resorts. Even the Clinton family visited us every year! Massachusetts is a very historical state. The American Revolution began here, at Lexington and Concord. The Battle of Bunker's Hill is also around the Boston area. Boston itself is a joy to be in. There is plenty of shops, restraunts, and historical spots, such as the Freedom Trail. The USS Constitution, our first navy boat, can be visited in Boston. Out west, you'll find the mountains, good for hiking, biking, skiing, or just plain to look at. The four major cities in Mass. are Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and Lowell. The governor is Mitt Romney, a Republican. There are plenty of jobs available up here, even though we are in a budget deficet. The Big Dig has spoiled some of the fun of Boston, but when it is completed, it will be one of the greatest road systems in the world. Overall, Massachusetts is full of friendly, but there is definetely more liberals than conservatives. Massachusetts is wonderful state that is very fun to live in.
