The Best Place

I'm on my way to my semi-annual pilgramage to New York for the weekend. Gonna see some shows and treat my son to a steak dinner. One of my fantasies is to live in New York for year. That assumes that I make enough to live it like the people in the movies that always have nice Upper West Side brownstone or a East Side co-op. But I'm not sure how much of a Noo Yowker I am. Blogbuddy Claude is a transplanted New Yorker so he has the bona fides.

You Are 36% NYC

Okay, so maybe you've been to NYC. But you probably really live in Connecticut.

How NYC Are You?

As much as a loathe to admit it, my heritage is New England even though I never lived there. Maybe that is why I like HRH Courtney, Queen of Everything (she recently gave herself a promotion) because she is true Boston and I get to live vicariously through her.

Dude! You're 77% from Massachusetts!

Okay, either you come from the western half of the state or from the Boston area. Still, it's not bad, so I'll give you the thumbs up. Cool!

How Massachusetts are you?
Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

I took some quiz I found on Google that finds your best place to live. It was not a joke quiz and took awhile to do. I was a little pissed when I got to the end and it wanted tons of personal information, so of course I lied to it. Still it came up with good ideas.
