GTKY: Since everyone is asking ... Where are you from?

I've noticed a lot of posts recently asking where everyone is from. We might have done this awhile ago but now that we have a full board, I thought we could ask again.
So...
Where are you from?
What is your favorite thing about your city/state?
Re: GTKY: Since everyone is asking ... Where are you from?
Where are you from? I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah.
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? We are so blessed to have the most beautiful mountains ever!! I love to be able to hike. camp and sit by a warm fire. Not only that, we have the best red rock!! Moab is one of the coolest places in Utah.
Where are you from? Minnesota
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? While I hate driving in the snow, I love that we have all four seasons. I love our lakes and our scenery. I also love how everyone here embraces and encourages being outdoors. We're pretty laid back up here too which is awesome.
What is you favorite thing about your city/state? The people. They are the best and worst thing about our community. Everyone knows everybody and thier parents and grandparents. So no secrets in the community but in the same token there isn't one neighbor I couldn't ask for help.
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I love this time of year, Oct-Dec is so beautiful here!
I'm from Minnesota. I love how everyone is genuine (although stoic), and we live in a safe city in a safe neghborhood. I also love all four seasons....just not the -40 temps!
Where are you from? Connecticut
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I love living here in the fall, the leaves are so breathtaking when they all change color.
Where are you from? Texas
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I love that we live in a part of the state where we DO have all four seasons (even if they are short lived) and my area is pretty rural, so being able to walk outside and see the stars on any given night is a pretty big plus for me.
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I love that we get so many sunny days. I don't miss the long dreary winters in Illinois. I do miss the fall and the beauty of the first couple of snowfalls (not the rest of them lol).

Northern VA
What is your favorite thing about your city/state?
We're within the DC metro system so we have great access to tons of free museums and all the other good stuff in DC.
Georgia
What is your favorite thing about your city/state?
I love that we have the mountains and the beach within a day's drive, and mild winters
Where are you from? Originally from Cleveland, moved to AZ after college, and am now just outside of Northern VA
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I loved Ohio's snarky people and Arizona's mountains for outdoorsy things. While I've only been in VA for about a year, I love the wine (seriously missing it right now...) and the weather!
Where are you from? Ontario!
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? Since I have no state I'll go with province and country. Ontario is pretty varied, which I think it cool. There are lots of small towns and we've got a couple of big cities like Ottawa and Toronto. Winters in my city suck, but I think they suck anywhere, hahaha. I think Canada is awesome because people are (generally) very nice, there isn't a ton of crime and I don't feel scared to go just about anywhere in my city, our money is different colours so I can tell how much money I have just by a quick glance in my wallet (I don't know how Americans tell the difference in their bills. I'd have to take them all out and check all the time! haha), and after hearing stories on these boards I am very thankful for our health care and maternity leave.
And now for fun, a bunch of Canadian gifs:
My favorite thing: it's nice and quiet...

Where are you from? Ontario, Canada
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I love that we get to experience all 4 seasons, though sometimes winter overstays its welcome. I love that I can experience a bit of everything without having to travel too far...country life, the big city, suburbia. It's very multicultural & accepting, which is great. And I have to reiterate what @candicek15 said...I love our health care system and maternity leave.

Where are you from? Seattle, WA
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I grew up in a small town on the beach and now live in a suburb of Seattle which has a smallish feel. I love being close to mountains and the water. There are so many fun things to do - camping, skiing, kayaking, hiking... I work in the city so I get the best of both worlds. Mostly, I just think this is one of the prettiest areas in the country (even with the rain and cloudy days)! And I love the Seahawks!
Where are you from? Born and raised in Ohio
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? We have a lot of stuff to do (including 2 amusement parks) and a ton of sports teams which DH and I love. Speaking of, tonight the 2 Ohio football teams play each other...Go Bengals, Who Dey!!
Favorite thing about city/state: I love having all four seasons. I grew up in florida so it's still new to me. My town has a lake with canoe/paddleboard rentals in the summer and ice fishing and ice skating in the winter, so there's lots for the whole family to do. I'm only 45 minutes from downtown denver and about an hour to the ski resorts. Best of both worlds.
I like the southern food (originally from England)
I HATE cold weather so obviously I LOVE the weather here! It's 66 right now and I don't know what to do with myself. I can't wait for all your bitchfests this winter about not being able to reach your snow boots with your baby bump in the way. While I'm over here slipping on my flip-flops.
Although I didn't grow up here, I've been here my entire adult life. I like bring outside a major city (Washington, DC), because there is always something to do. I love taking visitors to all the tourist attractions. Otherwise, I'd never see them.
I don't like the cold. I love my city as everyone is so generous and so many small businesses in the area too.

Where are you from? New Jersey shore
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? I can walk to the beach from my house, or get in the car and be in NYC in an hour. We have all 4 seasons (though winter is the worst!) but spring/summer/early Fall at the shore is just THE BEST its like being on vacation, we can go boating, to the beach, eat the freshest seafood, see fireworks weekly, etc. I just love it.
What is your favorite thing about your city/state? That my MIL lives 10hrs away.
I love that there is always something to do. It's never boring here!
Love our small town state. Seems like everyone knows everyone ! & the seafood is amazing. I miss it ! After baby is born, we are eating crabs!!
I miss living on the coast in Connecticut. I'm so jealous of you fresh seafood folks. I live in the mountains. It is beautiful here. I could do without winter. Hence me trying to move to Trinidad lol. But it is beautiful here in the winter. I understand all of the sentiments of you other mountain ladies. The fresh air is always nice and needed.
I love being so close to a world class city. The art, museums, sports, restaurants, and culture are amazing. But I also love the balance that my suburban area is on the edge of the country. It's quiet, beautiful, and we have a beautiful property where we garden and have room to run.
My favorite things is when I go grocery shopping it's like happy hour
-The Sunshine State!
I love our lack of winters although I do miss the changing of the seasons when it comes to the colors and smells.
I'm not a fan of cold... I remember growing up in Missouri and the worst thing was getting out of a shower in the morning and being FREEZING drying off and getting ready for the day.
I love summer and fall in Minnesota. I wish they would repeat over and over. I dislike winter. A lot. And spring is just yuck. Without winter... It would be the best place in the world. :-)
