Gravity is what does it, and also standing on the outside surface of the Earth. In this way, the gravity of the Earth pulls all people on the outside of the planet inwards. So if we are standing on our feet, then the feet point inwards. And the gravity which also exists from all the other big lumps in the universe doesn't have anywhere near enough intensity here to pull people in other directions (although the moon and sun cause good movements upon water in tide cycles).

I'm from Missouri.  I feel safest here, but I like the ideas wafting in from both coasts.

I live in Springfield and I love it here. I have lived here in the area my whole life and wouldn't trade it for the world. I have traveled all over the country and visited other cities of similar size and I think Springfield is the best. The streets are easy to understand and get around on, the traffic is never that bad. The shopping is pretty decent here and if you want more then Branson is only half an hour away. Or drive to KC, it's only about 2.5 hours away. I don't know if you are familiar with the area but the weather is variable. One day its cold the next its super hot. But its kinda nice that way. We have 4 beautiful seasons and lots of outdoor activities here.  We have several colleges but the population is diverse, its not all kids. Restaurants here are good, lots of choices. Springfield is the birthplace of Cashew Chicken and I think we have like a couple hundred Chinese restaurants. There is one on about every corner.  =)  Springfield is also the home of Brad Pitt and his family if that interests you at all. Though he doesn't visit as much as he used to now that he is with Angelina. =)  If you have any more specific questions or are interested in a certain neighborhood I would be happy to give you my opinion if you send me a message. Hope you get to make the move here to Springfield I think you will like it!

For the real New England you have to go north of MA.  MA, CT and RI have become too urbanized, ME, NH and VT are the way life should be.  Of those three, VT is cute and a nice place to visit and NH is handy for tax-free shopping but Maine is where you want to live.

Since, I was born and raised in Mass that's never been an issue... so, I'm not exactly sure...but\nhopefully you can get the answer to your question (and many other questions you have about living in Mass) here...\nhttp://www.mass.gov\n\nGood luck and be careful of the drivers! Most are referred to as Massholes for a reason. ;)
