This is interesting. Having lived in Missouri I thought it wold be the best or one of the best. I can New York State being on here.

I would think that Missouri would be a great place to retire. I have driven through the majority of the state over the years, and spent some time at Fort Leonard Wood in the early nineties. I was the advisor to 7 air national guard units when I worked at the Engineering Installation Division Headquarters in Oklahoma City. I was TDY to Fort Leonard Wood for a few days with an inspection team, performing an on-site inspection on Air National Guard unit from Jefferson Barracks, which is outside of St Louis. Southwest Missouri is a very scenic and pretty area. the Ozarks are beautiful, as is most of the rest of the state. The unit was installing communications equipment in a joint project between the Air Force and the Army. The air force also sends some of it's heavy equipment operators there for training. It is the location of the training school for Army engineers and construction troops.

They appear to assume that there is no New York north of the Bronx.

I see that phenomenon here quite often. People want to know what life is like in the big city. 17 yrs later my NY accent is still evident to everyone. When I tell them that I used to live on a lake in the middle of the state in the Adirondack mountains, many of them can't believe that there is a portion of NY State that is mountains, lakes, and scenic beauty.

Even though I knew that there was a New York between NYC and Buffalo, my first visit here was a surprise. For the rest of the country New York is what they see on TV and that is NYC.

That sort of attitude extends to other areas as well. One of my mid-western sisters-in-law is actually fearful at the thought of visiting Texas. I tried to persuade her that she would enjoy the Austin/San Antonio area but she would not hear it.
