There is a circle around Boston (that include Manchester and Nahsua, NH) that is very different than a lot of the rest of New England.

I moved from Boston to Nashua, NH (a 90k+ person city less than 50 minutes from Boston) and was right at home; yet there are rural parts of New Hampshire I would feel entirely out of place like it is a different country. But at the same time, I feel there is a sense of unity in most of New England. A shared heritage and creativeness ("Yankee Ingenuity") that binds the region together.

Sometimes I think about moving to the West Coast (usually around the fourth foot of snow in the Winter) but I do like it here.
