what is going on everyone how about we take a look at New England's most
populous state Massachusetts Massachusetts is another state that's
actually a Commonwealth and I'm not gonna get into it every time I bring up
a state that's a Commonwealth I can't win if I mentioned the difference I get
comments when people tell me it's a state there's no difference nobody calls
it a Commonwealth if I don't mention it every Yahoo out there spends a good
portion their day trying to explain to me how it's a Commonwealth and not a
state so just just stop typing it's just a little trivial nugget of information
move on with your day Massachusetts is right here in case you don't know it's
ranked 44th in area and 15th in population the pilgrim State was founded
on February 6 1788 making it our sixth state besides the nickname the pilgrim
state it also has the nicknames of the base state the Puritan state the Old
Colony State and of course the baked bean state yes the baked bean state over
the last few years the baked bean state has been losing people now that's
according to the United Van Lines mover studies in 2018 they were ranked the
seventh most moved out of state and the number one reason listed on why people
were leaving was they hated being in a state called the baked bean stage skitty
actually it was retirement and lifestyle that's what was chasing people out out
of all the reasons that people were actually moving into it a majority of
the people moving to Massachusetts was for jobs I guess they have some
employment opportunities people are looking to take advantage of maybe
you're looking for a new home and a new job the base state may be on your radar
if you're on the fence about making that move you should watch my top ten reasons
to move to Massachusetts
number 10 the accent one of the best things about Massachusetts is the accent
it's really entertaining if you're not from the New England area and aren't
used to the way these people speak it's very distinct the only one that's
probably a little more distinct and different is Cajun but that's just my
opinion now I brought this up in other videos and a lot of people said it's
kind of disappearing or it's getting watered-down as the years go by around
the Boston area you'll still catch it on a regular basis I was there in 2017 and
I could see that it wasn't as frequent as I remembered it from a trip I took
around 2000 2001 something like that and it's too bad but if you're new to the
area enjoy it just keep one thing in mind sometimes it sounds a little
abrasive and in-your-face and kind of rude I mean they can't be rude and they
will be rude at the drop of a hat don't get me wrong there but sometimes they're
not it's just the way they communicate don't take offense
number nine sports the entire state is absolutely filled with sports teams if
you're big sports fan you're never gonna get bored in Massachusetts or Boston
especially for pro sports you have the Celtics Bruins Red Sox Patriots and the
Revolution and when it comes to fans this is one of the only cities that I've
ever been to where it seems like all the residents are fans and they're crazy
about the teams not just the Patriots because they're winning
like all the teams even when their teams suck they're still proud to be fans
that's all the teams across the board not just one or two now even if you
don't like baseball here's a tip go see a Red Sox game you'll thank me for it's
kind of one of those things that should be on your bucket list but probably
isn't you need to have it on your bucket list enjoy a game
number eight pumps out famous folks Massachusetts has produced very
successful residents and very famous ones they include Steve Carell Amy
Poehler Matt Damon Ben Affleck dr. Seuss Reed Hastings who owns Netflix all the
candidates Benjamin Franklin Sam Adams and Johnny frickin Appleseed just to
name a few Johnny Appleseed was a man with good shoes a lot of free time in a
hankerin for Apple's his real name was John Chapman and he travelled around the
country for the most part from Boston to Indiana planting apple trees in his
obituary the word eccentric came up more than once nothing about witches or snow
white or green apples or poison nothing but plenty about apples
number seven Dunkin Donuts this is the ultimate East Coast versus West Coast
argument the West Coast overall prefers their Krispy Kremes and the East Coast
prefer their Dunkin Donuts so much so that there's actually not even a Krispy
Kreme in the entire state of Massachusetts
it's a Dunkin State these people are even proud of their frickin Donuts but
it's not surprising because they have a history of getting defensive and angry
over their morning rituals remember Boston is in Massachusetts the Boston
Tea Party sparked revolution against the most powerful army on the planet at the
time over the taxing of their morning beverage don't talk Krispy Kremes in
Boston or Massachusetts number six healthcare Massachusetts is
one of the best places to get sick the state is some of the best hospitals in
the country including UMass Memorial Massachusetts General Hospital and the
Boston Children's Hospital the baked beans state has also recently become a
great place for veterans health care the state has two VA hospitals on
stars-and-stripes top 10 best VA hospitals lists Bedford bass and
Northampton so to all my army buddies maybe we should limp on over to
Massachusetts and have them take a look at our backs maybe they can tell me why
I hate loud noises and digging holes while they're at it
number five beer any beer enthusiast knows Massachusetts is one of the best
places to grab a beer and stop typing if you're a heavy Coors Light drinker
you're not a beer enthusiast you're a sad person that likes poorly flavored
water that makes you dizzy the bass State has so many amazing beers it's
mind boggling when you're trying to map out a plan to sample them all really all
of New England overflows with great craft beer but the pilgrim State pretty
much leads the pack if you do move to Boston do try them all if you can but
don't take my cousin's ex-wife I believe she's still banned for most bars on the
eastern seaboard and Gary Indiana number four scenery anywhere in
Massachusetts it's going to be beautiful even in most of the cities I do say most
some of them pretty nasty but for the most part the cities are nice too but
outside the cities is where the state really shines towards the western half
of the state you'll find the Berkshire Mountains and to the east are the views
of the Atlantic Ocean and the Massachusetts coast Cape Cod is
a beautiful area the beaches here are very popular vacation spot especially
among celebrities including meg Ryan Samuel Jackson and even JFK owned a home
in the area it's similar to the Hamptons in New York and Rivendell in Lord of the
Rings just like number three history if you don't
already know this place is loaded with history I can't help you live in
Massachusetts as a history buff and you will find it hard to do things like go
to work and meet people you will be busy going to places and looking at things
the state is chock-full of history that dates back to 1607 when the whole
Plymouth Rock thing went down all the way up to being admitted into the Union
and 1788 and beyond that throughout the state there are tons of museum sites and
libraries you can take advantage of I mean don't literally take advantage of
the museums and libraries don't touch things you're not supposed to and return
your books okay but this place is full of history
number two the food the pilgrim state is the place to be for people that like
food especially seafood and people that don't mind buying larger pants every
year so basically it breaks down to this if you're a beer love and history buff
that's jonesing for some seafood I found your Nirvana Lobster is a
delicacy here like most of New England throw in a little clam chowder with a
bread bowl and keep in mind the state's official dessert here is Boston cream
pie most of you would probably thought it was Dunkin Donuts no it's Boston
cream pie Boston cream pie is amazing it's better than German chocolate cake
don't like German chocolate cake because it seems too well organized it's
perfectly symmetrical and it's well engineered it just bothers me
and number one education Massachusetts is ranked as one of the best states in
the country for public education the graduation rate is 89% while the teacher
to student ratio is extremely low at 13 to 1 the state is seriously working on
raising the dropout age which will help with their graduation rate within the
next several years it's already at almost 90 percent most school districts
would be happy with that and just kind of lay on it but no they're trying to
get it higher that's great that's not even the best part they have some of the
most prestigious universities on the planet Harvard MIT Tufts Brandeis Boston
College Boston University Northeastern just to name a few some of the greatest
minds have gone through these schools over the years I am NOT one of them
I struggle with math that's why I tell jokes and cue the bad comebacks in the
comment section I can hardly wait to read those
all right that's my top ten reasons to move to Massachusetts I hope you guys
enjoyed it hope you got some information out of it in reality this is a great
state you can get past the cold which is usually the biggest complaint about
massachusetts it's one of the best places to live in the country should you
give it a serious thought if you're looking to relocate someplace anyway
