Say something great about a state you're not from

[Taverner]

I'll start.

Texas has great BBQ, beautiful people (men and women) and gave us Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower.

AND the corn is as high as an eleph- oops, that's Oklahoma...

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Connecticut. I love the place. Lovely state.

[skygazer]

2. Montana is just magnificently beautiful

It takes my breath away.

[bleedingheart]

3. North Carolina BBQ

yum yum....
Beautiful hills...great shore towns...

[KamaAina]

4. Louisiana is far more important to our country than Bush** will ever know.

okay, I cheated, I was from it for a couple of years -- but c'mon, Bushies, let's get with the program here already!

[LeftyMom]

5. I love Minnesota

They have the nicest people in the universe up there and it's really pretty.

If it weren't for the winters I'd move to Minneapolis any day. :)

[Taverner]

6. AND they have a lot of cowbell!

[LaraMN]

10. What IS it with you and the cowbell? I've never even seen one, irl!

:rofl:

You are no longer allowed to talk about Minnesota!

[Taverner]

18. The Cowbell Sketch

[LaraMN]

23. I know, but what does it have to do with Minnesota?

Am I missing something, here?

I probably am... in the last two hours, I've been vomited on, repeatedly phone-called and distracted, and have developed a maddening headache.:crazy:

[Taverner]

25. OH well I understand now

You're too frazzled to appreciate the utter cowbellishness your state has given the world :)

[LaraMN]

27. Apparently. I'm going to bed.

Oh wait! No, I'm not! :cry:

[LeftyMom]

12. Sacramento's pretty cowbell-intensive too

Well, Arco arena anyhow. :shrug:

[LaraMN]

11. and we would HAPPILY have you!

:toast:

[LeftyMom]

16. Well you'd have to do something about white stuff falling from the sky.

:scared:

I love the nice people and bike paths, though and the river reminds me enough of home that I dodn't think I'd get real homesick.

[LaraMN]

24. I have tried a hair dryer.

By late spring, I become quite insanely sick of the snow.

[Left Is Write]

15. In spite of the winters, I'd move to Minneapolis in a heartbeat.

However, if I wanted to buy my old house back, I'd have to pay about $80K more for it than we sold it for a little over five years ago.

[LaraMN]

26. It's much more spendy down there than up where I live.

You can still get a modest starter home for a little over 100K, here.

[Left Is Write]

29. I'd actually move to St. Cloud if I could...

I love the Twin Cities and grew up there, but I'm really loving St. Cloud. Prices are getting higher there, but not as high as the metro area. I could afford a house in St. Cloud, but if it involved a commute...that would suck!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. Vt is pretty

[djeseru]

8. California redwoods.

They are the most beautiful forests I've ever seen and smelled. I'd like to see them one more time...

[GOPisEvil]

41. One of my favorite drives is through the Muir Woods.

I'd like to go back once more myself.

[KFC]

9. Texas also gave us the Butthole Surfers

[MiniMandaRuth]

13. Minnesota is kick-ass because KitchenWitch lives there.

Oh, and Oregon has some pretty nice coastline.

[Left Is Write]

14. Tennessee has beautiful countryside.

[skygazer]

17. Alabama has really nice people

And Arizona has some incredible scenery

[Rowdyboy]

19. Louisiana has the best food in the country.....The people are mostly

warm and welcoming, and the culture is unique.

[Benfea]

20. Texas is like California: great cuisine, lousy presidents -NT

[Taverner]

21. This is true

But we had a chance to change that when Jerry Brown ran in 92....sigh what could have happened

[LSK]

22. it doesnt snow in Florida much

And its not cold as fuck from November till March.

[RebelOne]

36. I lived in South Florida most of my life and would never want

to live there again. It may not snow, but you have the heat, humidity and the big bugs.

[LSK]

44. i have a bad cold and it was 32 here

Give me heat and humidity any day.

[Kerrytravelers]

28. When * finally vacates OUR White House...

Texas will be the state that will have to deal with him...and that's a great thing!

[Liberalynn]

30. Maine

has gorgeous coasts, and gave me a real sense of peace and contentment. I love the lighthouses and the food. It felt like I'd come home, even though I was born, raised, and still live in NY State.

If I had money to do it, I'd move there in an instant.

Maine is just soothing for the soul.

[Duncan Grant]

31. Northern Arizona

There are places in Northern Arizona that are beyond compare: Sedona, Boynton Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, The Grand Canyon.

It's a place of incredible beauty. :thumbsup:

[obxhead]

59. ....

:toast:

[huskerlaw]

32. I love Colorado

particularly the mountains near Estes Park and the cities of Denver and Boulder. Gorgeous...and fun!

[Skittles]

33. I like the way the folks in New Jersey take a ribbing from New Yorkers

people in New Jersey seem to have a good-natured who cares what they say about us? attitude

[Flying Dream Blues]

40. When I lived in NYC, they had a campaign w/ bumperstickers

and all that said, "New Jersey: Look Before You Laugh" That's pretty out front!

I love it the way all NJ people ask each other, "Which exit?"

[RebelOne]

34. Colorado has the most fantastic mountain scenery.

I was in Steamboat Springs a few years ago and I would move to that area in a heartbeat if I knew anyone who lived there or if I could find a job.

[u4ic]

35. Kentucky - racehorses and Jim Beam

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

[hickman1937]

45. Kentucky, I agree.

I only got to see a little of this state a few years ago but I was amazed. I remember telling my daughter that if they had snow at least 4 months of the year I'd love to live there.

[Flying Dream Blues]

37. New York City is the most exciting place in the world. And

the people there are GREAT, too. There's really no place like it. I don't think you can ever live there and not fall in love with it, even while cursing it soundly on some days. :) And the outskirts and upstate New York are absolutely beautiful. I Heart NY!

[EstimatedProphet]

38. Oregon is really pretty

and Portland is one of the coolest cities in the country

[sarahinmexico]

61. Here Here, another vote for Oregon

Beautiful surroundings for exploring, hiking and camping, and liberal ideology in a big city that feels more like a small town.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

39. There is no corn in Oklahoma...

You're thinking Nebraska.
Duckie

[SeattleGirl]

42. Alaska is stunningly beautiful

And some pretty great DUers live there too.

[NoSheep]

43. Minnesota is Bluuuuuueeeee!

[Penndems]

46. Pennsylvania

Beautiful state, wonderful people, great food.

Except for shoofly pie. Yeech! :P

[tarkus]

47. Massachusetts is easily the best thing ever.

It is pretty easy to say things about states that aren't Kentucky...

[mac56]

48. I love Missouri.

The best vacation I ever spent in my life was there.

[DainBramaged]

49. Virginia is beautiful in summertime

[liberaltrucker]

50. As far as people are concerned....

Minnesota, hands down. Now scenery is another issue. Tossup amoung CO, OR, UT, ID, NorthCA, WA, AZ...You get the idea. In 21 yrs as an OTR driver, I've seen 'em all.:patriot:

[hyphenate]

51. Arizona and Utah

have some of the most gorgeous scenery I've ever enjoyed.

[freestyle]

52. Massachussetts, the state of equality.

I have always loved the beauty of the Cape and Islands, especially Martha's Vineyard, and the fact that GLBT people are equal there is just a huge plus. Now, stop it with the republican governors. If we leave Maryland, the direction is definitely north.

[swag]

53. California is druggy druggy druggy druggy

[UrbScotty]

54. Arkansas: Home to Presidents Clinton and Clark (nt)

[lpbk2713]

55. I'd like to say something nice about Vermont ..... but I won't.

Word might get around about what a great place it is and then people would start moving there. Next thing you know it's got all the problems all the other states have. I don't want that on my conscience.

[liontamer]

56. Hawaii is my vision of paradise

I intend to move there within the next ten years

[argyl]

57. Southern Utah is truly beautiful. From Canyonlands to Zion.No

place quite like it.

[obxhead]

58. Montana is the most beautiful state I have ever seen....

yet I have not seen Alaska, so that opinion may be biased.

[elshiva]

60. Vermont- Maple Syrup, small town, but open-minded
