I'm originally from RI. I have a brother who still lives there and my sister lives in TX. I have a bunch of cousins in and around the Fall River MA area. Haven't seen/spoken to them in over 10 years. My parents passed away in 2000 and 2001 and all my aunts and uncles are gone. Most of my friends that I hung around with have moved from the area. So, there's really no reason for me to go back there. RI is very expensive on taxes and such, so really wouldn't live there. Northern New England is actually where I would love to be. Maybe somewhere around Lake Champlain, Upstate NY (yes, I know, NY is not New England).
Actually, to me, lobster is over rated. I used to work baiting lines and such for fishermen. Smelly, stinky job, but paid well when in high school and needed money in a pinch. Used to go and pick the decks of fishing boats. Could get lobster for $2 each right off the boats, if you knew the right person. Had my fill of lobster, so I can take it or leave it actually. Not something I would go out of my way for, know what I mean?
