Silly young man. New England has quite a lot of Brown Recluse and Black Widow spiders, actually. Considering the seasonal freezes up there, spiders are even more likely to move into your house or garage. Both species of spider range all the way into Maine and even southern Canada. Also, due to the maritime operations around that part of the country, there's decent odds on other spiders and things coming off of a boat.
Fuck, there goes my ideas of moving to Philly or somewhere like that when I'm older.
