You'll drive along I70 and get legitimately fricking excited about seeing a grove two miles in your periphery. I know it's already been said in this thread, but that is the most miserable drive one can possibly take.
Haha. I can definitely relate. I once flew into Witchita and drove to Hutchinson. It is a miserable drive/area.

Iowa seems dull, but I imagine there are great people and places. I used to think Oklahoma was boring, then I met some really wild people there.
Alberta, Canada seems kinda simple as an outsider... but those people can party their asses off.
There are no boring states. It’s all about what you like and how willing you are to engage.
I could never live in the Northeast, because I don’t like the cold. I could never live in the PNW, because I don’t like gloomy weather. I could never live in California, because I don’t agree with the majority politics. I could never live in a lot of the south, because I dislike every football team that isn’t LSU.
The older I get, the more I yearn for small town country life. We’re a transient society now. You can have anything in a few hours via a plane or car ride.
A lot of us live in places because we have to... for our careers, or we have wives who want us to be there.
I will say this... I am not from Louisiana. I ended up here on a fluke. I’m making money and enjoying it, but I miss my family and miss home. But this state has been wonderful to me. The friendships and opportunities afforded to me here will always be an invaluable part of my life. And New Orleans... there could be a LOT worse places to be.

Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota. North Dakota is at least very beautiful though.

Since we retired, the wife and I travel quite a bit. When we are in a state, we are usually there to see/do something specific so we are never bored. I can see how if you are on business somewhere with time to kill, it could be boring if you are stuck.

Since I'm not an outdoorsman, the state of North Louisiana would be terrible to me

I feel like Rhode Island is one of those places that exists but you never actually meet anyone from there

Lived there many years and I agree. Aside from Omaha having one of the top zoos in the country, and the world series....both of which are cheap to get into....there's not much. You get to experience all four seasons in a very distinct way. Traffic doesn't ever get backed up unless there's a major ice storm. Don't have to look at mobile homes around every corner. If you get out in the middle of Western Nebraska at night....you can see every star.
Great quality beef is abundant, you can enjoy a nice seafood dinner at red lobster, and other than that, just drink a lot.

Gonna hurt a lot of folks feelings, but, most SEC states would rank on this list.
However, one thing I'm baffled/intrigued by is the "state pride" that southerners have compared to the rest of the country.
I'm a proud Atlantan, but holy fahk, wish we could sell everything south of the airport to Alabama or Florida for 2 oatmeal creampies and a free oil change. We'll keep Metro ATL and the mountains.
I'm sure the folks down south would love it for 10 seconds 'til they realize that sweet, sweet money train they bitch about up north isn't subsidizing their backwards politics.
If you talk to someone from Boston, they say, "Boston," not "Massachusetts." Even people from Dallas or Houston, say their city.
Anyone else puzzled by this?

Wrong
When in Texas, we say the city
Outside if Texas, we say Texas

That's kind of nice at times. It took me a while to get used to southern Louisiana compared to the Midwest. Went from being able to see 10-15 miles all around while driving through rolling hills to being lucky to see 1-2 miles here and there.

Does anyone remember the old bumper sticker that said, "Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may be in Utah."?
