Happiest states listFollow

Actually, where I live it's not so bad. Oak Ridge imports people from all over the world to build nukes to kill other people and create chemical weapons and stuff (I mean research ways to make life better). So we have a pretty diverse group here and it's a nice little town.

But yeah, there's lots of scary stuff outside of here.

theoretically you can, but you'd have to report the alpha value along with your findings. (probably an alpha = .1, but that would be silly)

lolno

Also, if Texas secedes, **** you, other southern states.

Maine was tenth because it is the way life should be. New York is near last because of Weltschmerz. As far as the rest of the urban Northeastern States, the pressure comes from having to financially support such states like Tennessee who can't financially stand up on their own.

You'll make a great climatologist yet!

My state isn't on the list =(

Michigan is almost last...

I blame Canada. For our Governor and her letting them use us as a Landfill. And Chicago for the pollution.

Nor does it have to if it's glowing in the dark.

I hate Knoxville. Luckily I rarely have to go there. Nashville is great, though.

Yep, right as usual varrus. ur so smrt!

I haven't been to Knoxville in a few years, either. The town was a pretty dirty place, when I last visited. I did go to Memphis not too long ago, that was a pretty fun place. Just wish the NBA team there didn't suck. I love Nashville...though parking is a pain in the ***.

If I was going to compare the two, I would have said "Memphis is much cleaner than Knoxville". But I didn't, so no.

So no.

Never been to Knoxville, but from living outside Memphis, I can say it's the 2nd cleanest city I've been too in the US. Cleveland wins that contest from a one day visit when we had one day to kill while my dad pick up a van for the State of Maryland Dept of Aviation where he worked. We went downtown to the shopping district and it look like no one lived there it was so clean outside of May Co. D.C comes in 3th only due to the fact that large parts of it is made all shiny for Congress and tourists.

If I had my choice of any where to live in the US, it would be Columbia, Md.

Not quite a city, looks like an interior designer went a muck with it's color coordinated sheet lights and signs.and near enough to Wash D.C, that the utilities all figure any customer they have may have influence in the hall of government. I found that farther I live from DC the less friendly the phone and electric companies were to their customers. Well except for Millington Tenn., were the phone company was a very small, one town Company and it cost me less then $40 to have my phone turn on.

Only downside was the streets were lay out so it could take you 10 minutes to drive to a friend's who lived a stone throw from your back yard. It's has some of the best schools in the State now and Rouse tried to make sure it was mixed racially and had some low income housing from the start. It also was had one of the first HMO's, before they became a dirty word for consumers of health care. Back in the early 70's it was actually a good way to save money for medical care. Then they actually did pay decent amount and didn't limit how much time a doctor had to see patients. (Plus when I needed the pill at 16, I didn't have to worry about my parents knowing and $2 every few months was easy to afford on by babysitting salary. Md teens even then could see a doctor about unplanned pregnancies without parents notification. Thank you Mom, for lobbying through out the state for that.)

Most places back in the 80's wanted over $75 dollars for a deposit and then another $75 to $100 to have it turn on. On a enlisted E4 salary, that meant we would sometimes go without a phone for months.
