Re: How many states in the Union have you lived in ?
Orange County, Irvine, CA. Gorgeous place South of LA, Huntington Beach
Philadelphia, PA. I've been a student at Penn, the city isn't beautiful but has some great history. The thing I couldn't get is that they build a statue of Rocky in front of the Museum, that was insane.
Englewood, Port Charlotte, FL. Beautiful sunny Florida, small seaside towns with nice beaches, I met warm and friendly people, and my girlfriend there.

Re: How many states in the Union have you lived in ?
Twelve (Based on 3 Months or more)
Arizona - x2 94-95, and 08-13 . It's OK, great weather but miss the snow best year of my life was 94-95 met the Mrs. (Likely will end up retired here but not really my top choice).
Louisiana - 2010 March through May. Lucked out wierd weather for the area resulted in little to no humidity when I was there so I thought it was pleasent, but can see why everyone else hated living in the Ft Polk area due to the humidity (I missed) and the isolation.
New Mexico - 2000-2003 Loved it Lived in Albuquerque fantastic weather yet had four seasons
Kansas Feb-May 2005. It was ok but isolated and cold.
Texas -x 3 1971-1972, 1984-1986 and 2003-2008, Lorado l liked it but then I was only 6 and liked everything, El Paso was dirty and poorly run, a very ugly city and dusty didn't like it. Sugarland (Houston AO) very good housing but Summer sucked due to humidity. One thing though, as a whole, Texans are the best people I've come across.
Hawaii -1996-2000 Absolutely loved it, favorite place in the world was always outdoors doing something. I'd retire there if my wife would let me. One draw back is the attitued of the population - relatively unfriendly and bigoted.
Alabama - 1991-1994 It was Ok bit isolated at FT Rucker.
Maryland - X4 1972-1974 PG, 1976-1977, 1980-1982, 1986-1989 Born there; graduated HS (Gaithersburg, Undergrad Western Maryland College) I liked it but it has been a long time.
Virginia 1977-1980 Warrenton Liked it.
Kentucky 1989 -1990, Had a lot of fun at OBC.
Florida 1989 June-Sep. St Pete. Family lives/lived there I like the beaches and people, sad memories now (Family passing on)
Washington DC. 1964-1966. Had a blast I think Prettty sure the Washington DC I lived in doesn't exist anymore but heck I wouldn't know anyway but it does have my earlies memory (major Snow storm 1966).
Other locations I've lived include
England, Scotland, Germany, Korea and Iraq.

Re: How many states in the Union have you lived in ?
VA
DC
TX
My dream is to get a 2nd home in Colorado and then summer in Denver, CO and winter in Austin, TX.
Re: How many states in the Union have you lived in ?
That was the intention of the thread but my threads historically seems to sink or go sideways more often than not. Would love to hear some feedback on HI and other states I've visited but never lived in. I'll contribute this about California: plenty of people say they're California "natives" even though there's no such animal, every last person's a transplant.I'm kind of more interested in what people thought of the places that they lived, not just the bare lists.

Re: How many states in the Union have you lived in ?
NC - small mountain/foothills town, Charlotte and now right outside of Charlotte
Almost moved to VA Beach or Chesapeake Bay back in 2000, wife could have moved for her job and after talking to another couple (close friends of ours) we all were looking for a change and my philosophy was **** it, I can work in a grocery store and live in an apartment anywhere in the US. Might as well move somewhere cool while Im young and without kids. Never happened, cant really remember why now lol.
Looked and pondered moving to Houston, TX a while back for my wifes work as now I work from home and can move anywhere in the US with my job if I need too. After further thought and with a 4 year old daughter, we decided to remain here. We are in Cabarrius Co. now, school system is good, and my daughter will be starting kindergarten in August and her elementry school will only be 2 blocks away.

Re: How many states in the Union have you lived in ?
I'll add this: the whole Midwestern hospitality thing is for real (and especially noticeable after you've lived on the coasts). People in TX/KS/IL have a very genuine nature/approach overall then the snobbery you'll find in abundance in California. There are of course many exceptions to this but it's more true than not.
