            Only time I have been to WV was to white water raft back in college. It has a creepy reputation, but I didn't think it would be dead last on this list though...

                        You think people are happy in Lawrence, Fall River, Worcester.

                        People might be happy in the Berkshires.

                                  Having been in every mainland state in this country...........

                                  West Virginia would be the last state where I would want to live..........thus, the ranking is probably right on the money.

                                      I would have thought that Hawaii would have been #1. It would be #1 in my list. I would love to live there no doubt.

                                              I am not originally from MA, but I live in Boston now. The taxes suck, there's no parking in the city, and I never seen so many pissed off drivers.
