What is your favorite state?

Sober, and not feeling like I need a drink.

Oregon, that’s where I’m from and it’s pretty liberal.

Love and trust

I am partial to Wisconsin as it is where most of my childhood vacation memories are from and they are truly great memories. Plus it has some great lakes and forest and I love lakes and forests and rivers and bluffs, and beaches, and cabins, and starry skies, and…

Equilibrium

North Carolina :)

Virginia. Every time I cross the state line, I feel like Scarlett O’Hara returning to Tara.

Michigan.

Everytime I’ve gone to North Carolina I’ve loved it. One of my dreams is to have a second home at the Outer Banks. Louisiana was pretty fun, too, though.

I have only seen parts of Michigan, California, New York and Florida.

If I had to pick, I would say (Northern) Michigan.

That is a tough one. I guess I would say Washington state. I love a lot of attributes of many states though.

I’ve been to Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, and Rhode Island.

I live in Tennessee, and I love it here, aside from the fact that the dating scene is dismal, at least in my area. I really like Louisiana and Rhode Island, too, but I wouldn’t want to live there. I liked New York, I guess, but I had some bad experiences there, and I don’t really remember Pennsylvania, the Virginias, or Mississippi that much. The other states were ok. Indiana is nice. Kentucky just sucks, especially the city of Corbin, although there is a nice Mongolian barbecue place up there I like. I love Florida.

Oh, and despite what they say about Ohio, I enjoyed myself there.

I guess if I had to pick, I’d choose either Tennessee or Florida.

of Emergency.

Drunkeness or Ecstasy, in no particular order :-)

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Tennessee is a beautiful state! I love crab orchard stone and the beauty of eastern Tennessee.

@marinelife, never been to Crab Orchard Stone, but I live in East Tennessee!

The state of feeling happy :))))))))

Kansas! I grew up in the Flinthills and its beautiful. People think that KS is flat and they are very wrong. The western ½ of the state is very flat. Where I’m from, in the east, has huge hills that are big enough to draw athletes training for events in the mountains. Huge rolling hills with few interuptions, it is the last native prairie in North America

California.

Nevada will always be #2, but California is my favorite. For reasons I’ve stated many times before, but California has everything all the other states have, but better. :P Does any other state have deserts, snow-capped mountains, 100s of miles of oceanic coast, palm-tree lined beaches, pine forests, redwood forests, multiple big cities of over 500,000 people, and agricultural valleys and plains and all in one?

Didn’t think so. :) Diversity is my main thing with California. Diversity of geography is probably my favorite aspect of it, but also the diversity of the people, the populated areas, the activities one can do here, etc. The possibilities are endless. :)

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Here you go.

Michigan~

I’ve been to all but 6 states….and I love them all for various reasons. I love the hills of Pennsylvania, the mountains of Colorado, the red rocks of Utah, the swamps of Louisiana, the beautiful open green-ness of Idaho, the colonial feel, and lobster, of Maine, the perfect weather and cities of Northern California, the clear beaches in Florida. And because of that I cannot pick a favorite. They’re all wonderful in different ways. Even when I’m forced to drive 8 hours across Kansas, there is still something so beautiful about how open it is and all the perfect fields of wheat against the clear blue sky. Even going through Nevada (bleh) this summer I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets over a chain of mountains ever.

But just because a state is so naturally beautiful doesn’t mean I want to live there. I live in CO now and it’s too dry, and too long of a winter. Utah is by far my favorite state geologically, but the people are, as a motel owner I met there lovingly called them, “utards”. And 3.2% beer? What’s the point? So I still have no answer.

I love New York the most. But I’d also happily live in Massachusetts or Vermont.

I hope at some point to give the state of Marital bliss a try…..

Bliss.

2nd is sweet home California.

I’ve only visited three but my favourite was Nevada.

Bavaria.
