Comparing Massachusetts to Every Other State

While I haven’t been to EVERY state, I’m lucky to say that I have visited a few. Our country has some wonderful states. I got engaged in Florida. I saw my first Red Rock Mountain in Arizona.

We skated during Christmas at the Rockefeller Rink.

But, every time I leave on a vacation, I really can’t wait to come home.

Education: We have some of the best schools on the planet.

Hospitals: When Ringo Starr’s daughter Lee needed brain surgery, he came to Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Sports: Well, you know the story there!

Culture: For the arts, music, and history, there is no better state!

Food: Food, from the North End, to the Seaport, to the Back Bay, our five star restaurants are nationally famous!

Employment: People from all over the globe, look here for the best jobs.

The Beach! Is there anywhere better than the Cape, Vineyard, and Nantucket?

Radio Stations: Too far?
