I've lived in 8 states. Illinois rn. From AZ to FL to SC, VA, WV, MD, and PA. I love the change of seasons. WV mountains and Western Maryland are beautiful but just a little too much Winter. I considered a home in Northern Lower Michigan at one point. Would probably end up in Pennsylvania's northern tier or somewhere in Virginia at elevation. Some nice areas up above 4000'. I grew up in Northern Virginia about 30 miles west of DC.
