10. Mississippi

It's flat, and the scenery isn't pretty. There's really nothing remarkable about Mississippi. You can experience better Southern culture in other Southern states. Also, it's pretty freakin' desolate. If you're looking for urban nightlife, you won't find any of that in the entire state. Mississippi does have its positives, though, like historical points of interest, the Natchez Trace, and quiet, underrated beaches.

9. Indiana

Indiana has the misfortune of being a fairly well-populated state with little to do inside it. Its positives include Indianapolis, the Indy 500, the Hoosier National Forest, and a sliver of coastline along Lake Michigan. That's really it. If you were wondering, the food there sucks and there ain't a dash of spice to be found in that entire state.

8. Rhode Island

Just let Massachusetts annex you already, as there's basically no difference between South Boston and Providence. You're not large enough to be a real state any more, Rhode Island. It took me fifteen minutes to drive through you.

7. Idaho

Sorry, Idaho, but you're the least interesting and most backwards of the Mountain West states. Boise is cool and up-and-coming, but the rest of Idaho is difficult to access for travelers and honestly has some freakin' weird arse residents. To top it off, there's not much to do here.

6. Delaware

Has anything ever happened here? Why would anyone want to go here? It's hard to get to, as you can pretty much only enter by car via south from Philadelphia. Sounds like too much effort for a dull place.

5. Nebraska

You'll come to find the Great Plains states will not receive much love from me, and while I have nothing against them on a personal level, you can't convince me any of these places are worth visiting. The only time I could see it as being appropriate to go to Nebraska would be to go RV'ing to the northwest along I-80. Granted, the Vols have never been a baseball powerhouse, so I have no reason to venture on up to Omaha for the CWS.

4. Oklahoma

Disclaimer: Oklahoma City is a cool city. It boasts a very nice, clean downtown, and the residents are welcoming. But that's basically all the entire state has going for it. Eastern Oklahoma is really, really depressing to drive through: one casino after another, surrounded by scrubby trees and dirt that may culminate in the ugliest scenery in the whole country. Then you hit OKC, and after that, it's mile after mile of empty prairie. If you're looking for something in Oklahoma, Texas does it better.

3. Connecticut

Everything is expensive here, and for no good reason, for the only redeeming quality about visiting this state is the fall foliage. It has some pretty coastal towns, but that's really it. The rest of the state is actually quite gross, and you would think a wealthy New England state would take better care of its cities, but Bridgeport, New Haven (home to Yale) and Hartford are crime-ridden and miserably ugly on the eye. If you find yourself in Connecticut, I'd advise you to retreat to the countryside there, because the urban scene in that state is unpleasant, as are the people who live there.

2. North Dakota

Thanks for the natural gas, but other than that, this swath of land between Minnesota and Montana is completely useless.

1. Kansas

I'm sorry, Kansans, but your state offers nothing rewarding for travellers. There is absolutely nothing of note to do in this entire state. Kansas is not known for anything, leading me to the conviction the state's residents have no distinctive culture. The most interesting thing that happened in Kansas was probably back in the 1850s.
