Five states by Amanda

By Amanda in New York, NY (by way of Sacramento)

This is based on the way I've mentally divided the state I was born and raised in. Northern California is much more like our neighbor states to the North, District 4 is traffic hell & District 3 is Bay Area. I thought SoCal could use its own Rhode Island, thus District five.
