Conneticut, it's very beautiful. You have to have some money, but near the lighthouse. Anywhere near the beach is awesome. I personally love where I came from, Delaware. Pennsylvania has so much country, it's so peacful and beautiful.
I lived in delaware and now Tampa. I am getting older and I think about actually being old.
Well I can't imagine myself here in tampa, at a mall, at 78, and not feelings old.
In delaware, I wouldn't care because it's just different there, it's a different feeling. You don't feel left out or different.
Anyway, enough emo crap.

Can't believe you said Connecticut 
I guess the best part is in 2hrs you can reach Boston, NYC, and Providence but connecticut itself doesnt' have much. The winters are horrible, it gets lots of rain in the spring, the home and tax rates are absurd and there isn't much to do.
I can't find the perfect place. I want somewhere 75 year round, within an hour from the ocean, that doesn't rain much, has a good job market in the tech sector, has decent nightlife or is close to a major city (within 1.5hrs), has reasonable home and property rates, has no major natural disasters frequent (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, mudslides, floods, etc), is not overly congested or polluted, and has a good resale value.
The closest I can find so far in the USA is raleigh, north carolina area. Not the greatest night life but good job market, semi close to the beach, reasonably close to charlotte, good air quality, reasonable home and property rates. Downsides are that it rains more frequent than I like and is prone to hurricanes (as is a lot of the east coast). I looked at Florida as an option but its too hot for me, property rates are really getting too high, crime is very high, palmetto bugs are rampant and I dont like that, its very prone to hurricanes and lots of rain, and is a bit too touristy.
