I have lived in Massachusetts my entire life and much of what they say about the Bay State is true. We are lucky to have beautiful scenery, wide open spaces, rolling hills and nightlife all wrapped into one state. In addition, I would say about 95% of the people that I have met from Massachusetts have been very kind to me and are here to greet you with open arms.

Of course not every area of Massachusetts is perfect. While some areas of the Bay State have kind people that are down to earth other areas of the Bay State have people who may walk around with their noses up in the air just a little too much.
