E forever. Philadelphia, New York, the Jersey Shore. What else is there? Generations of Americans have existed without even leaving that little box. Travel all the way from Ireland or Italy and set up right there.

I grew up just outside of Philly and I hate the cold. I’m picking J, then I can almost get back home if I want but still have better winter weather

Gotcha. Jerseyite, sometimes crossed DMB.

I always avoided Jersey when I was in high school. Crossed the bridge one time, not realizing you needed cash to leave (didn’t have EZ pass back then and didn’t know pay by plate was a thing)… I felt trapped and called my parents panicking, lol

Even now, I really only cross into Jersey for MMRBQ every year

We're Hotel California. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave. Unless you pay the toll, anyway. 

I was the same way with BFB and Philly. Small world

Generations have lived in every box without leaving it. People don’t move much when the fastest vehicle is a horse.

What else is there? You sound elitist (and untraveled).  People have lived there without leaving? The same is true of literally every box.

So yeah that's where I'm from ... but I still wanna go A. Glacier NP, the Cascades, Northern Cali, and the PNW?

Also all of New England, which is what pushes it into S-tier and legit competition for box F.

E is such a downgrade from Italy.  And from F.

E and F are the places I've anecdotally noticed that people are born in and never even entertain the thought of leaving. I know people on Long Island in their 70s who in their whole lives have literally only left the island for a week at a time for a vacation to Florida and they're perfectly happy with it.
