I live in North Dakota, and it gets my vote.

I think that shows you how bad it is, when its own citizen votes for it.

We do run one of the largest shipping ports in the USA.
Camp David is here.
Lots of history, too: http://www.bcplonline.org/info/history/maryland.html
- Fort McHenry saved the USA in the war of 1812.
- Star-Spangled Banner written here.
- Baltimore, City of Firsts: http://www.ci.baltimore.md.us/faq/firsts.html
- Lots of big industries headquartered here: McCormick (World's Largest Spice Producer), Northrop Grumman, T. Rowe Price, Black and Decker, etc.

That's a big 10/4!

Everyone keeps touting how the MD/DC/NVA area is good for stable business because it's a natural disaster free area. Notice the word NATURAL... :roll:

Cheers!

It's good because it's recession proof. Government employment is always propped up in bad times.

I "wisened" up and left that rat race five years ago when I realised the contractors are the ones making all the money.

Either way, its a lot more useful than whichever one of the Dakotas that doesn't have the mountain with the presidents faces on it simply because it has coast. Maybe Oklahomo.

A good half of california is completely if you consider the Bay Area as being part of the southern half. Because outside of that, there really isn't anything worth mentioning that is north of the Bay Area.

and Oklahoma, wyoming, and Arizona.

It's also nice to have the beach, the bay, cities, museums, mountains, lakes, historical places, and rivers all within a 2 hour drive.
