I have noticed many people on the board have New England roots. I want to know if we are in the majority on the board or not. Off the top of my head I can count Criss Colon (Boston), Cleef (Foxboro), Bugsey (Boston), PJT (North Shore), myself (originally from Middleboro), Mainers (the best State in the Union--at least according to Frost). I think Quisqueya Girl is as well, if memory serves.

If you are a DR lover from New England, speak up! And what draws you to the DR? (Besides the obvious...4 foot snowdrifts and blackfly season.) And what about NE do you love? (besides the obvious....lobsters, autumn, coastal towns, maple syrup...)

For me, I wish I knew why I was drawn to the DR...I guess I love the pace of life and the characters I have met there, not to mention the great climate and food.

And what I love about NE is swimming in clean cold lakes, wild strawberries as big as your thumb by the side of the road, and crosscountry skiing on a still blue winter day.
