Kansas, the most boring place ever. Take a drive across Kansas and tell me its not the longest drive of your life, let smell of cow **** and the view of flat empty land entertain you.
Idaho, Nebraska, Mississippi, Delaware, North Dakota, Iowa, and Oklahoma.
Not that there's "nothing to do" in those states, but from an objective standpoint, I feel that they are among the least interesting and contribute the least in terms of recognizable American culture.
Did you know the electric guitar was invited in Oklahoma by an Oklahoman? Walter Cronkite got his start here calling OU football games, Paul Harvery first broadcasted in Tulsa at the first radio station west of the Mississippi, and Oklahoma has produced more astronauts than any other state. I think Oklahoma has contributed alot to American culture as there is more this is just what I could pull off the top of my head in a min.
You're trying to start something here. I would say that Wisconsin is pretty well loved - by those who live here and by those who vacation here. Wisconsin is the playground for those from Chicago looking to get away - and we have an entire eastern border that is Lake Michigan. Hard to beat.

I dont know why so many people list a Midwest state as being the "worst" just because there are no mountains or water or the like. That's silly. Who cares about topography? Does topography and water and 'culture' attract jobs? I lived in Indiana most of my life and never minded the flat land and no water. What I find more important are economic issues, taxes, and jobs. Thats why I think California is the worst. Sure, it has mountains, water, culture, etc., but it has a horrible economy, its bankrupt, enormous taxes, huge and burdensome regulations, very high cost of living, bad education, illegals and crime everywhere, and its business unfriendly climate make me want to avoid it like the plague. Who wants to live in Cai??? yuk!!
Speaking of that About.com I found this interesting 1 on Oklahoma most poeple should read Top Misconceptions About Oklahoma and its People
But the last 1 about football is mostly true. Here your either a Sooner fan or a Cowboy fan, people who are not are few and far between.

Yes, the natural environment of a place often is a positive attribute when it comes to attracting a net in-migration of people to a particular place. Isolated rural areas in the Great Plains have a severe out-migration problem. This leads to a net outflow of venture capital and human resources.
