Interesting question.:)
I live in Long Island, New York; a red spot in an otherwise blue state. I think Long Island has quite a bad reputation as being filled with snobby, wealthy people, but it isn't so. It is ludicrously expensive to live here, but we're comfortable financially. I think when it's time to retire we'll probably move somewhere cheaper. I'm an old lady, so recreation would probably be a restaurant and movie theater.
As for the U.S. as a whole, I could go on for hours about the political divide. I'm a die hard liberal, and hate to see the hard right get all the publicity. I can't imagine how backwards we must look to other countries like the U.K. and Australia. My husband is English, and certain U.S. practices (like the lack of national health insurance) still baffle him.
I'll be very interested to hear what others have to say about their home state/country.
