Love: the diversity of the outdoors, from flat to mountains, to plains, to desert, to beach. The food. I would die without proper Tex-Mex. The diversity of the people. We have a very large Spanish influence. San Antonio is awesome. The cities are diverse. Dallas is way different than Ft. Worth which is nothing like Houston which is different than San Antonio and nothing is like Austin. The friendly people. The warm winter we are having this year. I walked my dog in shorts and flip-flops many times in Jan. and Feb. The Dallas Cowboys. The cost of living is extremely low in comparison with the north and west coast. Housing is abundant and very affordable.
Hate: the summers, by far. By August I am ready to move. The big city violence. Dallas is at the top of the murder rate statistics every year. We have our share of ignorant hicks. The snobby, stuck-up rich people that infest Dallas. The ignorant way we run the state government with a powerless governor and a legislature that only meet once every couple of years. The property taxes. The fact that Texans pay higher electric rates and higher homeowner insurance rates than the other states. We are as Red State as you can possibly get.

I love so many things about my state, that I can't even name them all - it's just bottlenecking around my finger tips and I can't get it all out. :eek:
oh, LORD the beach...and the forests, and the desert, and the mountains and the cities and the crown jewel cities and *SWOON*
things I hate??
ARE YOU DAFT?! there is NOTHING to hate about my state...well, maybe I don't much care for the non-natives who knock my state...or the attitudes of entitlement that are brought by these people...oh lordy no! just NO! hahaaa I am not fond of the douche-inator.
but HATE well, I mean seriously?? I even love the way gilroy smells...I love the way Norco smells in the summer - with the horse flies and all! um, the 5 FWY is a bit sucky...don't drive it and think for a second you are seeing MY state. by the way, the state is MINE. I am queen here. you can visit if you like, but you know - you can stay only if you love it all the way to your bones...stand and squish your feets into California...do you feel it?? in your heart? well, then you can stay - you are a native in your soul...:D

Love: Close to so many great places like NYC, Boston and Philly.

Hate: You can't buy wine and liquor in the grocery store, only beer and not on Sunday.
There are a lot of benefits for people that do not work. So if I work my ass off all my life(which I will), I probably couldn't retire because I would have to work to afford my health benefits. Whereas if I was collecting from the state my whole life, I could keep NOT working, and have full health benefits. F'n crazy is what it is and it makes me INSANE. ( I know this is probably everywhere in the U.S., I want to write a book about it).
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
NY: Love: NYC is within driving distance, as is Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto, and Philly. So many good shows and interesting places to go.
Dislike: upstate feels very cut off from civilization and it is COLD. Plus we get bad lake effect snow, but slightly downstate its worse, down on I81.

Michigan - Love: All the great sports teams there (yes, including the lions!). The abundance of nature around the area. There is always something to do (hunting, hiking, fishing, camping). I love all the seasons including winter...skiing there is a blast.
Hate: The economy. There are absolutely no jobs in the state of Michigan and the area (at least around my town) seems to be turning into a resort town for the Chicagoans :mad:
Connecticut - Love: The proximity to all the cities. The diversity of the area that i'm in. It's one big melting pot here. The towns in the south/west here. They all have something unique to offer.
Hate: The fucking traffic. I generally don't mind a little traffic but it is ridiculous here. Also, the gross impatience of the population. I think I've gotten more dirty looks, car horns and fingers directed my way in 5 months than i have in my entire life haha. Settle down people!!
"Everyone is a patriot in some form or another.... i prefer the intelligent ones."
Love, the fact that I met and married a wonderful lady from this province, spring, summer, fall, I'm less than a 3 hour drive from 2 major cities in which all major bands play, surrounded by lots of fresh water lakes (mind you getting more polluted all the time), an hour drive from detroit in which I can see all the major sports teams in action.
Hate, winter ( especially about now so looking forward to spring), the fact it is getting harder to find a dr., our high taxes, the city I currently live in (moving in the spring), all proffesional sports teams (leafs, raptors, senators and so on).
I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin

Dislike: upstate feels very cut off from civilization and it is COLD. Plus we get bad lake effect snow, but slightly downstate its worse, down on I81.
snow hasn't been that bad this year, thank god. nothing like last year, that is. we had so much snow within one week last feb. that the roof on our garage collapsed.
and I81 isn't the best roadway during the winter, but I481 is worse. i travel 481 every weekday and in the winter...sometimes it feels like i'm driving on an ungroomed snowmobile trail with bald tires all around.
Some things in the dells are alright, I like the waterparks but the tourist traps there are outrageous.........have you seen the ufo and sci fi museum, corny maze, or wonder spot? They also promote crap like outlet malls, gambling, etc. which disgusts me even more.
House on the Rock is cool. And I do love Noah's Ark. But, I know that the traffic on 90/94 is a bitch b/c of all of the tourists.And for that,I feel bad for the natives.

I won't do a love/hate thread cause I have roots in 4 places (CT, MA, RI, NY)
for your upstaters...love - Dinosaur BBQ, 1,000 Islands, The Loud House, the fact that at any given 1/2 hour you can hear either Zeppelin or Floyd on the radio, Colemans (& green beer), Finger Lakes wine trail, Labatts
hate - suffercuse weather...not so much the snow, because that's what you get up there, but the gray clouds all winter long.
CT - love - my roots; love proximity to many cities - large and small; competition of many different sports teams; Huskies; the Rent!; my dream house...
hate - shoreline attitude and fairfield county snobs. fairweather fans.
RI - love - Prov culture; Fed Hill; Blackstone Blvd; good Italian and seafood joints; beach; Newport
hate - corruption and back taxes
MA - love - my house - a new beginning
hate - those accents; sports fans; more casinos; being labeled Taxachusetts
Hate: Weather (this alone is enough for me to wanna move), the jobs, the fact that so many yuppie illiniois people own land here, our poor tourist attractions

But this state is weird on some things. I really HATE the fact that it's a "mothered" state, meaning that even if you are biggest piece of sh1t loser for a mother, you can get custody over the father simply because you have a vagina. I'm not down with that and it's really unfair to good fathers.
I also cannot stand the drivers in this state. They do not know how to observe the rules of the road. LEFT LANE = FAST LANE. Everyone knows this... except in WA. I got hit by TWO semi-trucks in the 2 years I have been here! TWO! And it was their fault, 100%. The last accident could have killed us.
I love Washington for it's beauty, awesome climate (I love rain), cool people, interesting things to do and all of the water! It also has wonderful public transportation.

Hate: the economy, lack of proximity to some big cities
Pennsylvania (newly a resident here)
Love: Proximity to lots of big cities and everything that comes with it, cheesesteaks, yuengling, historical aspects, the fact that people want to come visit me

But this state is weird on some things. I really HATE the fact that it's a "mothered" state, meaning that even if you are biggest piece of sh1t loser for a mother, you can get custody over the father simply because you have a vagina. I'm not down with that and it's really unfair to good fathers.
I also cannot stand the drivers in this state. They do not know how to observe the rules of the road. LEFT LANE = FAST LANE. Everyone knows this... except in WA. I got hit by TWO semi-trucks in the 2 years I have been here! TWO! And it was their fault, 100%. The last accident could have killed us.
I love Washington for it's beauty, awesome climate (I love rain), cool people, interesting things to do and all of the water! It also has wonderful public transportation.
Oops, almost forgot... for Pearl Jam too! hehe.
LOVE: All four seasons, Every Lake and beach, beautiful nature and outdoor activities, Michigan accent, the fact you can buy beer and liquor anywhere, proximity to chicago, midwest, vernors, squirt (how come i can't find it here?!), Bells Brewery, the UP, sand dunes, inland waterways, beer tents, kalamazoo, cheboygan
Hate: the economy, lack of proximity to some big cities
Pennsylvania (newly a resident here)
Love: Proximity to lots of big cities and everything that comes with it, cheesesteaks, yuengling, historical aspects, the fact that people want to come visit me
Hate: Lack of snow, you can't buy beer and liquor anywhere nor at any time nor in the same damn place!, lack of vernors and squirt, lack of lakes/fresh clean water.......
you need to go somewhere like Lake Erie, maybe
