Pretty depressing place.

That being said, N.Louisiana has a few spots that are just as bad. Catahoula Parish and specifically the town of Jonesville immediately come to mind.

My parents made me make the drive to MS last time I visited LA to go eat at the damn Dinner Bell in McComb. I felt like I time traveled to the 1930s.

It is fun one time just for the experience.

No one mentioned Alaska. You, however, mentioned California and Louisiana. California has nine national parks. Louisiana has zero. How's that for scenery?

used to have family in Oxnard... that area was great, especially heading north from there up 101. They live in Santa Monica now, haven't visited since they moved.


I've lived in Oxnard for the past 10 years it has its good and bad like everywhere else.

We used to go to Percy Quinn a lot when I was a kid and rent cabins on the lake. My parents always mentioned that place when we went but we never tried it out. They started going when they made Percy Quinn trips after I grew up. I knew they just wanted to share that with me, that's why I agreed to go. I think I was just more annoyed because we hit an hour of traffic coming back due to construction going on. Also....we could have easily have gone to NOLA (one of the food capitals of the world) for lunch.

This is hilariously accurate. It's amazing how Southern Bible thumpers that rant and rave about the Tenth Amendment (about which they know nothing) are most dependent on the federal government.

The same family had people decorate their homes for Christmas. I'm serious. I still don't know where their money came from.

Inherited and farming.

All their daughters go to Ole Miss.

California


Outside of Cali, Alabama has arguably the most diverse topography of any state in the country. Mountains(albiet, they are small), rolling hills, plains, swamps, flatlands, wetlands, forests, beaches, rivers, lakes...

Alabama has the most navigable water in the U.S. and the most trees per acre in the U.S.

It really is a beautiful state, without the trailers...

Lots of the old money in Mississippi left a long time ago, I'm told. A lot of the people I've talked to about it say they mostly moved east; North Carolina, mostly.

That's the high desert. I love that area, that's my playground. If only there were jobs to be had I'd move in a heartbeat.

Drive from LA to Oregon on I-5 in an 18-wheeler at the restricted speed limit of 55 mph and California is tied with Texas and New Jersey for worst.
