Lighting Up Maine

There are certain structures from America’s past that have grown in appreciation over time. Covered bridges are one example. Lighthouses are another. Luckily for Maine’s tourism industry, they have a large number of these beacons; so many, in fact, Maine is known as “The Lighthouse State.” Back in the early 1900’s, over 70 lighthouses were fully functioning eyes of the night for coastal sailors.

Today, 65 lighthouses still stand, and many are open for visitors to enjoy their rich history and textbook definition of a picturesque scene. The 65 total represents the third-most lighthouses of any state in the nation, making Maine a perfect place for sightseers to visit.

The Famous Fans of Ohio

American sports have a longer history with Ohio than any other state. That’s because Ohio hosted the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, all the way back in 1869. Over the years, the Red Stockings became the present-day Cincinnati Reds, just one of Ohio’s sporting teams the state goes crazy for. Others include the Cleveland trifecta of the NFL’s Browns, the NBA’s Cavaliers and the Indians of the MLB.

But possibly the most hard-core sports fanatics in Ohio reside in the state’s capital and largest city, Columbus. After all, that’s where the Ohio State University campus resides, home to arguably the most loyal and loud collegiate sporting fans in the nation. Each fall, over 100,000 fans fill Ohio Stadium (otherwise known as “The Horseshoe”) to cheer their lungs out for Ohio State football, usually one of the top teams in the country.

Booming Baltimore

Baltimore, the largest city in the state of Maryland, is a city of many attractions and attributes.

Baltimore supplies enough of America’s past to keep any history buff excited; at nearby Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem. Baltimore is also a major sports city, housing the Orioles and Ravens, a winner of the Super Bowl in the past decade. All of these attractions make Baltimore, Maryland a great city to work, live and play.

Wisconsin's Way

Often associated with dairy products, bratwurst and beer, Wisconsin is a Midwestern state with some of the friendliest folks one could meet. Bordered by Michigan to the north, Lake Michigan to the east, Illinois to the south, Iowa to the southwest, and Minnesota to the west, Wisconsin is the 23rd largest state by land area in the country. “The Badger State” (as it is otherwise known), is also 20th in population in the U.S., with Milwaukee being its largest city.

Madison, the home of the University of Wisconsin Badgers, is the state capital. “America’s Dairyland” certainly knows how to have fun. Tailgating before big sporting events is nearly its own religion in Wisconsin. For those who don’t consider eating in a parking lot a good time, there are a number of fun-filled areas in the state, such as Wisconsin Dells, a family resort area with countless exciting attractions.

Nothing Wrong With Checking Up

Finding a reputable moving company for your relocation involves a little bit of research. Luckily, a shady state to state mover is pretty easy to spot once you know the warning signs. After going through a mover search online or in the phone book, check to see if the moving company is a member of any national or state moving association, such as the American Moving and Storage Association.

Additionally, check with the Better Business Bureau to investigate any complaints from past customers. A reputable mover will deliver on-site moving quotes. If the state to state mover in question is hesitant to do so or is only willing to give you an over-the-phone estimate, this mover is likely not on the up-and-up. When the moving day actually comes, make sure the moving truck or van has the moving company logo and appears to be professional rather than some random guy’s personal vehicle. This sounds obvious, but trust your instincts if things feel fishy.

For a mover you know you can trust (ask anyone!), contact North American Van Lines today!

The Mississippi Blues

Music fans of the world can thank Mississippi for a lot of their affection. After all, Mississippi is where some of the greatest blues musicians ever—Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and B.B. King—all came from. Not to mention country music’s founding father, Jimmie Rodgers. Oh, and this other famous guitarist and singer you might have heard of was a Mississippi son: King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley.

In order to honor the state’s musical legends, the Mississippi Blues Trail has commenced, placing makers at key sites throughout the state, giving everyone from casual visitors to music aficionados the chance to honor the history. Music lovers from all over the country should make a pilgrimage to Mississippi.

Make your way by contacting Mississippi Moving Companies. North American Movers would love to help you get there!

Awesome in Austin

Austin, the eclectic capital city of Texas, has been referred to as “The Live Music Capital of the World.” It received this distinction by hosting more live music venues per capita than other music-crazed cities (such as Los Angeles, New York City, and Memphis).

To further expand its musical reach, Austin hosts a few famous festivals, the South by Southwest festival and the Austin City Limits Music Festival, the latter inspired by the long-running PBS television show, Austin City Limits. So if you’re a music lover, performer, or just a fan of mindlessly strumming your guitar, Texas’ capital city is the place for you to be.

Vermont Nature

Vermont is famous for its great outdoors activities, from snowmobiling to snow skiing to ice fishing. However, most might overlook another interesting nature-related activity in Vermont: wildlife watching. With over 75 percent of the state forested, Vermont is the ideal place to catch nature in its own habitat, whether it is by fishing, hiking, canoeing, exploring, going on a photograph safari, or bird watching. The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department lists over 80 wildlife management areas, giving potential observers quite a few choices to pick from. So when friends admire the framed photo on your wall of a moose uninterrupted, you can tell them, “It’s not National Geographic, it’s Vermont.”

Foundation in Virginia

Virginia is a state with a distinguished part in American history. Not only was Virginia one of the original Thirteen Colonies that the United States was founded on, but eight of the nation’s Presidents were born there. Located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean near the southern part of the country, Virginia is bordered by Maryland and the nation’s capital, Washington D.C. to the north and east, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, North Carolina to the south, Tennessee to the southwest, Kentucky to the west, and West Virginia to the west and to the very north.

Despite being neighbors to a decent number of states, Virginia is not very large; it is 35th in land area. On the bright side for the state, its population is quite high at 12th in the country, with Virginia Beach as the state’s largest city. Richmond is the capital of Virginia, the tenth state admitted into the Union.

Maine Really Is That Pretty

Up in the tip top northeast corner of the United States lays Maine, a state with perhaps the most beautiful scenery in the nation. Each year, thousands make a move to Maine in order to surround themselves with nature’s peaceful paradise. After all, Maine is covered by a full wondrous display of large forests, sandy beaches, rolling mountains, and a rocky shoreline perfect for a postcard or a heartfelt poem.

Maine’s location—heavily bordered by the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick from the northwest to the northeast, the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast, and New Hampshire to the southwest—makes it a very cold and snowy place during wintertime, but summer brings a warm and humid climate. Maine’s land area is on the smaller side compared to the rest of the nation (39th of 50) and its population is nearly at the exact same mark (the 40th most populated state). The largest city in Maine is Portland, a charming coastal city, while the state’s capital resides in Augusta.

Hawaii's Tropical Paradise

Paradise. That’s how many people view Hawaii, the 50th and final state admitted into the United States. After all, how many other states have perfect weather, gorgeous beaches, stunning ocean, and scenic backdrops that look too perfect to be real? Hawaii is the only state made up entirely of islands, including the major six of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and the island of Hawaii (otherwise known as The Big Island).

The Big Island is by far Hawaii’s largest island, as it is bigger than the others combined. “The Aloha State,” as Hawaii is known, is the only U.S. state that is completely surrounded by water, is an archipelago and isn’t actually located geographically in North America. Besides Alaska, Hawaii is the only state that does not border another U.S. state. The capital of Hawaii, Honolulu, is located on the island of Oahu and is also the state’s most populated city. After all, who wouldn’t want to relocate to paradise?

Iowa Could Be It

Often referred to as “The Hawkeye State,” Iowa is the epitome of the American Midwest; a safe, homey place to raise a family. Being in its part of the country, Iowa has a humid climate consisting of hot summers and cold winters. Additionally, being located in the Midwest gives Iowa lots of state neighbors; it is bordered by Minnesota to the north, Wisconsin to the northeast, Illinois to the southeast, Missouri to the south, Nebraska to the west, and South Dakota to the northwest.

The 29th state admitted to the Union, Iowa is also 26th in the nation in land area and 30th in population. Iowa’s capital city, Des Moines, is also the state’s most populated city. Recently, Iowa topped over three million residents for the first time, meaning the state is becoming a popular one with which to relocate.

The state’s Hampton Beach is a wonderful spot off the Atlantic, giving residents and visitors something new and exciting every week during the summer.

Such activities include 80 free concerts, weekly fireworks, a sand sculpting competition, and a talent show. And the fun doesn’t stop there.

Tip Time

Looking for reliable movers to transport your cherished cargo anywhere across the country? A smart start is to make a moving checklist before said moving companies load your valuables and hit the road. First off, obtain free moving quotes from a variety of moving companies in your area.

Once your list has been narrowed down to a few movers, contact the Better Business Bureau to determine if the movers are accredited or if there have been many customer complaints. After you’ve made your decision on which of the moving companies to use, it is recommended to make arrangements with them eight weeks before your actual moving day. At this time, you might also want to start using up all non-move-ables, such as frozen foods and cleaning products.

Come On Into Connecticut

Although Connecticut has the reputation as a snow-filled state with a frigid New England climate, it isn’t necessarily true. In fact, Connecticut has a relatively temperate climate; there are usually around a dozen days when the temperature shoots north of 90 degrees and less than ten days of at or below zero degree weather.

This type of mild weather, in addition to the state’s historical significance, plethora of year-round activities, proximity to other national landmarks, and gorgeous scenery make Connecticut a fantastic spot to consider moving to if you’re considering a relocation.

Sound lovely? Then make a call to Connecticut Moving Companies! With North American Movers, all of your relocation needs will be taken care of!

Only in Hawaii

Of all of the things Hawaii is famous for—the gorgeous beaches, one-of-a-kind surfing, and the laid-back island demeanor to name a few—nothing truly captures the spirit of “The Aloha State” quite like a luau. Combining traditional Hawaiian culinary specialties such as poi, haupia and (most famously) a roasted kalua pig with live on-stage entertainment, luaus have been a staple for Hawaiian tourists for decades.

Oftentimes, the entertainment includes traditional Hawaiian dance and music, hula dancing with crowd participation and a stunner of a finale involving Samoan fire knife dancing. For the less adventurous eaters in attendance, standard American food is also usually served in addition to the Hawaiian-specific offerings. But when in Hawaii…

Kansas Competition

Although Kansas has no professional teams in the four main sports, its residents have never lacked enthusiasm in the rooting department for athletics.

The University of Kansas Jayhawks, located in Lawrence, Kansas, is a year-in-and-year-out basketball contender for not just their Big XII conference trophy, but for the NCAA championship, too.

The classic KU chant “Rock Chalk, Jayhawk” is one of the most popular sport event chants in the nation. The Wildcats of Kansas State University, located in Manhattan, Kansas, have also had a heralded sporting history, making their intra-state rivalry amongst the nation’s most heated.

Nights in Nevada

For millions of people, Nevada is the (hopeful) home of Lady Luck, being the state holding America’s favorite gambling destination, Las Vegas. However, Nevada is more than just one city of glitz. Located in the western region of the nation, Nevada (or the “Silver State,” named so as a result of the silver deposits found there) is bordered by Idaho to the northeast, Utah to the east, Arizona to the southeast and south, California to the south and west, and Oregon to the northwest.

Nevada is the seventh-largest state in terms of area in the nation and is 35th in population. Although on the surface coming in at 35th on the population scale isn’t very impressive, from 2000 to 2008 Nevada’s population increased a scorching 30%, meaning that Nevada has been a very popular relocation destination the last decade. As one might expect, Las Vegas is the largest city in the state, but Carson City is Nevada’s capital. Outside of the big draw of legalized gambling, Nevada also offers world-class skiing, golf, hiking, biking, and kayaking, making Nevada home to pretty much everything.

Heading west? Contact Nevada Moving Companies to get you there. North American Movers are your trusted source for a safe relocation.

Washington D.C. Wonders

The nation's capital, Washington D.C. is one of the world's most-known cities as well as the symbol of the United States. Between housing the country's governing body to being home of the President of the United States to its plethora of amazing attractions--including the Lincoln Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Smithsonian-Washington D.C. is certainly one of the most attractive cities to live in.

With Washington D.C.'s metro-area population of over 5 million. And whether folks relocate for political matters or to marvel at the attractions, take in the shopping, dining or sports, Washington D.C. is a wondrous city to behold.

If the nation's capital is where you belong, contact Washington D.C. Moving Companies. With North American Van Lines moving companies, all of your relocation needs will be in the best of hands!

Utah's Amazing Scenery

Utah has some of the most unique scenic surroundings of any state in the country, as everything from snowy mountains to dry, sandy desert is represented. The state is generally rocky, as most of Utah is on a plateau higher than 4,000 feet above sea level. However, elevations are all over the place, due to the high number of mountains, plateaus and buttes (the highest of which is upwards of 13,000 feet).

Often rocky, Utah holds three very different regions: the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin, and the Rocky Mountains. Although these geological descriptions probably aren’t how you think of Utah on first thought, you have likely seen the state’s unique formations before: countless movies—especially westerns—have been filmed in its diverse, interesting-looking areas, such as the breathtaking Monument Valley in the state’s southeastern region.

Sound a little... exciting? Contact Utah Moving Companies to get you there. North American Van Lines moving companies are just the movers to start you on your journey.

South Dakota's Treasures

South Dakota is home to one of the most iconic attractions in the United States, the Mount Rushmore National Monument. The world-famous granite carving—representing the first 150 years of the United States—has been an extremely popular visitor stop in the South Dakotan Black Hills for decades.

Nicknamed “The Mouth Rushmore State,” South Dakota is an upper Midwestern state bordered by North Dakota to the north, Minnesota to the east, Iowa to the southeast, Nebraska to the south, Wyoming to the west, and Montana to the northwest. A large state, South Dakota is 17th in the nation in land area, but only 46th in population, as the state is home to less than one million residents. Sioux Falls is most populated city in the state, while Pierre is the capital city.

Looking for a relocation? Call the good folks with South Dakota Moving Companies. North American Van Lines moving companies are your best bet to get you there with as little stress as possible.

Find Yourself in Missouri

Missouri, the “Show Me State” and 24th state admitted into the United States, is a perfect example of a Midwestern state, often described as a microcosm of the nation as a whole (being influenced by the east and west as well as urban and rural characteristics). The 18th most populated state in the country, Missouri is the home of two of the nation’s more populous cities, Kansas City (the state’s largest city) and St. Louis, often dubbed “The Gateway to the West.”

The capital of Missouri is a far less populated spot, Jefferson City. A relatively large state (21st in land area) with lots of neighbors, Missouri is bordered by Iowa to the north, Illinois and Kentucky to the east, Tennessee and Arkansas to the south, and Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska to the west. Missouri is an eclectic state that mixes culture, a variety of entertainment options and the charm of Midwestern hospitality. All in all, Missouri is an ideal place for relocation.

The Cornhusker Nation Lives in Nebraska

Lincoln, Nebraska, the state’s capital, houses the University of Nebraska, the home of the Cornhuskers and the largest university in the state (nearly 22,000 enrolled students). With a devout, state-wide fan base, the University of Nebraska hosts regular sellouts for its football games at Memorial Stadium on the school’s campus. In fact, during those magical Saturdays when the Cornhuskers take on a Big XII rival, the over 85,000 in the stands makes Memorial Stadium the third-most populated city in Nebraska, doubling the usual third-place city, Bellevue. Luckily for the Cornhusker faithful, they’ve had a lot to cheer about the last few decades, winning the National Championship in 1970, 1971, 1994, 1995, and 1997.

Nebraska Moving Companies are always happy to help your move! Call North American Movers to get the ball rolling on your relocation today!

Looking Into Louisiana?

Louisiana: It's a place of many cultures. It’s a state that congers up images of scrumptious food, lively music, gators milling around swampland, and hundreds of thousands of people celebrating at the year’s best party, Mardi Gras. As for its history, Louisiana was the 18th state to join the Union, all the way back in 1812.

It might surprise some that the capital of Louisiana is actually Baton Rouge, not the state’s largest and most renowned city, New Orleans. Located in the southern United States, Louisiana is bordered by Arkansas to the north, Mississippi to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Texas to the west. Louisiana is the 31st largest state in the country and 25th in population. Without a doubt, Louisiana is an interesting place to live and a fascinating spot to visit.

Looking to leave for the south? Contact Louisiana Moving Companies today! North American Movers can't wait to get you started on your relocation!

A Day in Arkansas

Arkansas is a state of diverse culture, history and nature. In fact, Arkansas is known as “The Natural State” for its gorgeous scenery, from clear lakes to free-flowing streams to mountains to plentiful fishing and wildlife. (Need more “natural?” Arkansas has the only public diamond mine in the world, the Crater of Diamonds State Park.) It was the 25th state admitted to the Union in 1836. A southern state, Arkansas is bordered by Missouri to the North, Tennessee and Mississippi to the east, Louisiana to the south, and Texas and Oklahoma to the west.

The capital city is Little Rock, which is also the most populous city in the state (almost 190,000 people). Other notable cities include Fort Smith, Pine Bluff, Fayetteville, and Jonesboro. Nationally, Arkansas is in the middle of the pack in total area and population: 29th for the former and 32nd for the latter. Residents of the state are used to humid, very hot summers and mild winters without much snowfall, making Arkansas a prime destination for those looking to relocate.

At Home in Alaska

What Alaska might lack in population it more than makes up for in sheer size. Alaska is the largest state in the United States in area… by far. In fact, Alaska is so massive that it is larger than the next three largest states—California, Texas and Montana—combined. Alaska is a state bordered by lots of water; the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south. Canada neighbors it to the east.

No matter where you go, you’re not likely to be too crowded in Alaska. With a population under 700,000, Alaska is not only the least densely populated state in the U.S., but also one of the least dense populations in the entire world. Of the state’s population, approximately half lives in the Anchorage metro area. If you’re looking to move to a place with lots of room to roam, Alaska’s your home.

Sure, it's pretty far up there.. but it's beautiful. An Alaskan relocation might be up your alley. Contact North American Van Lines moving companies to get you started! Alaska Moving Companies are awaiting your call!

Idaho: Exuding Excitement

If you’re a fan of outdoor activities, Idaho is a must. (Surprised? Just keep reading.) If you enjoy hitting the slopes, Idaho offers many different ski resorts, including Sun Valley, a popular alpine ski spot. However, if you’re not one who considers sliding down a snowy mountain with skis on your feet a good time, Idaho is also a haven for exciting water sports like whitewater rafting and kayaking.

Some of the state’s best whitewater spots include the Salmon River and Hells Canyon. (Come on, what sounds cooler than saying you took a whitewater rafting trip on Hells Canyon?) Annually, Idaho welcomes over 20 million tourists, making the state a very popular destination for those all across the country.

Now do you believe us? Idaho is pretty sweet. To get the ball rolling on a relocation, contact Idaho Moving Companies today! North American Moving would love to take your call!

Background on Connecticut

Connecticut, a state loaded with American history dating back to colonial times, was the fifth state in the union back in 1788. The state is often referred to as “The Constitution State” for having written its Fundamental Orders in 1639, a precursor to what would become the United States’ Constitution.

With regards to the rest of the United States, Connecticut isn’t exactly a mammoth of land area either. The state is 48th in size by area. However, it is the 29th most populous state with over 3.4 million residents. Putting the relatively large number of residents inside the small land area of the state makes Connecticut the fourth-most densely populated state in the nation. Connecticut’s capital is Hartford, a 400-year-old city that is one of the country’s oldest. Other Connecticut cities of note include Bridgeport, New Haven and Waterbury.

If you belong on the east coast, contact Connecticut Moving Companies today! North American Van Lines moving companies--one of the most reputable names in the business--would love to hear from you!

Make Your Way to Minnesota

Minnesota, dubbed “The Land of 10,000 Lakes” and the 32nd state admitted to the Union, is the state furthest north amongst the contiguous United States, making it a popular outdoor recreational spot. Located in the upper Midwest of the country, Minnesota is the 12th largest state in area and 21st highest populated state in the nation. A majority—nearly sixty percent—of the state’s residents live in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area (also known as the “Twin Cities”); an interesting note is that Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota while Saint Paul is the capital city.

Due to its location—bordering Canada to the north, Lake Superior and Wisconsin to the east, Iowa to the south, and South Dakota and North Dakota to the west—Minnesota is prone to extreme temperatures: very cold, snowy winters and hot summers. Regardless of the weather, Minnesota remains a unique state for residents and the newly relocated to live.

Weighing the merits of an upper-Midwest move? Contact Minnesota Moving Companies today! North American Movers are just a phone call away!

Marvelous Maryland

Maryland, a state with not one but two nicknames—“The Old Line State” and the “Free State”—has historical significance, first-rate universities and two massive metro areas (Baltimore and Washington). Maryland is a Mid-Atlantic state that is bordered by a variety of different states due to its unique state formation: Pennsylvania to the north, Delaware to the east, the District of Columbia, Virginia and West Virginia to the south and west.

Even though this makes it sound as if Maryland is fairly spread out, its land area is actually not very large. Maryland is 42nd in the nation in area. However, the state is not lacking for residents, coming in at 19th in population and, due to its proportionally small size, is fifth in population density. The state’s largest city is Baltimore while the capital city is Annapolis, home to the prestigious United States Naval Academy. One of the state’s most notable claims is its ranking as the number one median household income in the nation for three consecutive years.

Feeling Florida?

It doesn’t take a genius to understand why Florida is known as “The Sunshine State.” A warm climate with beautiful beaches and gorgeous scenery helps bring Florida over 80 million tourists a year as well as the thousands of people who relocate to the state.

Located in the country’s southeastern region, Florida borders Georgia to the north and Alabama to the northwest. Because most of the actual land in the state is a peninsula, it is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Florida’s population is quite large; it’s the fourth most populous state in the U.S. to be exact. “The Sunshine State” has many large cities and urban areas, including Jacksonville (Florida’s most populated city), Miami (largest metro area), Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and the state’s capital, Tallahassee.

Be Smart!

Lots of people have stories about how they’ve felt taken advantage of by a mover. However, there are many safeguards to avoid scams and ensure your mover is a legitimate one who will treat your relocation with the utmost professionalism. First off, request an on-site estimate from your moving companies. If the moving company in question gives you an over-the-phone estimate without needing to see the things you actually need transported, it might be a red flag.

Additionally, get at least three separate on-site estimates. If one mover has a disproportionately low offer, it might be for a reason. Asking your friends, family, co-workers, and even your real estate agent about which moving company they have used in the past is another smart move. As the cliché goes, word-of-mouth advertising really is the best kind. They can point you to the direction of an experienced, reliable mover. Check with the Better Business Bureau for possible complaints about the mover. If the moving company has more than eight complaints, it might be a sign to look for a different mover.
