Haven't lived there but have vacationed there twice. Did Upper New England (ME, NH, VT) for our honeymoon 20 years ago during peak leaf season. The Maine Coast is awesome. Great food and quaint little towns. Went to the top of Washington in New Hampshire and then to Vermont. I fell in love w/Vermont, so much so that we went back to Vermont in 2019. It is gorgeous! A lot of it is still untouched.

Been in Vermont middle of nowhere for more than 5 years now, originally from old metry and absolutely love this place, the people and the culture. But New England in general can be 100 different things depending on location. So can't speak to everywhere, but rural Vermont is hunting, hiking, guns and ganja country. My cup of tea!

Louisiana to Maine is interesting; you still hear French in certain areas, especially the northern counties.
I lived in Orono, just north of Bangor. Despite the weather, I’m not sure how life would be any better, especially if you have family there.
The seafood culture would be familiar; I only went on a couple of lobster bakes, but it’s good.

You mean like quaint Vermont Inn New England or gritty Boston Irish New England?

is it pretty easy to find a lake or river access point that isn't loaded up every weekend?
I'm an aspiring SLA->New England person.

Grew up in a quaint Connecticut town
Now keep in mind I was a kid
It's fricking beautiful
If you think the South has history New England has like Revolutionary War history
All four seasons
Autumn and Winter in a small New England town is really breath taking
Mild summers
People aren't so much "Hey how are ya?" when you pass but still friendly
The only issue is unless you are in the city nothing is walkable... it's all spread out "suburbia" I suppose. Where I lived most people had decent land and when you get out of the "suburbs" it's pretty country with vast farm land and what not.
I mean I guess the land organization is pretty similar to the south in that regard.
The cities are huge and jam packed and stressful
It all depends on where you live
Like... Philadelphia is way different from Burlington
The countryside in Connecticut is way different than the suburbs of New Jersey

They're probably more alike than any other pair of regions in the country.

People generally are way louder and more blunt. But it's nothing personal. Loud and blunt is what they respond to, however, and if you're loud and blunt back, they don't have a problem with it.
Reminds me of southern black women.
...The other thing is that dude's who drive F-250s and would definitely be Republicans in the south are more likely to be Democrats up there. It's sort of a classism thing. Republicans in New England are viewed as low-rent and uneducated.

I lived in Boston and then New Orleans.
They were both equally great but in different ways.
Would recommend.

You left out the part about how the winters are really cold and gray and shitty and it gets dark at 4 o'clock in the afternoon

Why? Saying New England is good doesn’t automatically mean Louisiana is bad.

Lived in NH for 2 years. You definitely get all 4 seasons up there. Winters sucked but I don't think it would be that hard to get used to the temps/snow. NH folks I was around were damn good people, like Northern rednecks.
i spent 4 days around Lincoln and Littleton, NH. i think the people there would put most southerners to shame in politics and hospitality. northern rednecks is a great way to put it..
I could live in the suburbs of Portland, ME headed westward towards NH. Portland was just a whiter, less trashy Austin with lobster rolls and a bay.

that part did suck. we were up a windy road in a cabin in the middle of the white mountains. we had to be back to the cabin by 4:30 every day. We got to Portland ME about 3:00, went to a museum and then it was completely dark by the time we walked out.
