    Puerto Rico is the worst state. They don't even get a star, but on the plus side they don't have any senators.

    Texas is the best, obviously.

    Oklahoma is the worst, with Louisiana running a close second.

    Don't believe me? Try driving through them.

    I grew to hate Oklahoma when I was a kid and my mother would drag me on trips from our home in Amarillo to see relatives in Newport, Arkansas (for those of you without maps, that trip pretty well means we got to go from one end of Oklahoma to the other). Spend enough time in the backseat of a Volkswagen Rabbit driving down I-40 through the desolate region of Oklahoma and you'll get to hate the place, too.

    Texas is obviously the best. Because thats where the Rockets and Cowboys play.

    Utah is obviously the worst. I think I might actually physically get sick if I ever stepped in that freakin place!

    States you simpletons... States!

    Rockets03, you're an idiot aren't you? Utah's snow is the best on the earth. Sniffing the smoggy crap and sweating your arse off though in Texas is, i'm sure, the ideal world. Stay out then, you dork. Close minded fools shouldn't be exposed to such beauty.

    Just kidding, I'm trying to do a heypartner imitation. [​IMG]

    Best: Utah. There's nowhere in the U.S. that I can snowboard 9 months out of the year in a city that actually has amenities/somewhat decent restaurants. All of the other cool places are hours away from cheap food & an adequate business sector (so that you can actually work there).

    Worst: Any state in the midwest. I'm not sure why those places have such sayso in the election. I guess they have to try to draw attraction to themselves somehow. In fact, it's probably a big marketing blitz: "hey everybody, be an indie! People will actually come here then!". [​IMG]

    I've posted so much that what I say must be true.

    Worst: Utah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Because the FREAKIN JAZZ play there!!!

    Although I have never visited West Virginia for any length of time, I have driven through and its beauty is breathtaking. Pennsylvania is also outstanding (if you don't mind driving on the worst (condition) highways in the nation.)

    Best: New Mexico, very beautiful state with underrated ski resorts.

    Worst: New Mexico, very poor state, kind of depressing driving to the underrated ski resorts.

    Best: Texas.

    Worst: Who cares? Outside our borders, the rest of y'all can go (perform an anatomically impossible act on) yourselves.

    Johny Rocket, I will pretend you didn't say that. [​IMG]

    Its hard for me to judge entire states, cities are much easier. Nonetheless, Texas, Virginia and Michigan are among my favs. California and North Dakota are low on my list.

    Incidentally, I've always loved the city of Chicago. I know keeley and JuanValdez live there, and its a great city.
