there is a lot of beautiful land up north but hardly any people. just the detroit area has about half the people of michigan. the other 2/3s are probably on a narrow band on the indiana/ohio border. you cannot seperate detroit from michigan, we're the most important corner
Yeah, I never understood how people can just delete Detroit from Michigan as if it never existed. That's sort of the focal point of the state.
Also, for as much as Chicagoans seem to hate Detroit and Indy--they sure do love visiting those cities when no one else is looking. There's no shortage of Illinois license plates at both cities' popular tourist attractions...
Arkansas: Populated by Rednecks but northern Arkansas is a extension of the ozarks.
Oklahoma: Empty except for Oklahoma city.
Kansas: Like Missouri but only suburbs of Kansas city and then nothing
Iowa: Farming and Dairy and Farming
Illinois: Blank up until Chicago (our nearest world class city)
Kentucky: not much said
Tennessee: Go there for Country Music and seems like a larger version of Branson
Nebraska: same as Kentucky
California - Liberal politics, high taxes, terrible roads, the impetus behind most of AZ's problems (depressed real estate market, air pollution, fast growth, traffic, urban heat island effect, crime, superficial people), home of San Diego (viewed as nearby paradise to many people who live here), Disneyland, the state the Arizona is basically turning into at a rapid pace.
Nevada - Libertarian like Arizona, worse economy and real estate market than Arizona, Las Vegas nearby for world-class gambling, drinking, and partying non-stop, Laughlin for a cheaper, smaller version of Las Vegas, Hoover Dam Bridge, Lake Mead. The rest of the state is not really talked about at all.
Utah - Full of crazy Mormons who run everything, Hilldale - the FLDS community that Warren Jeff lived in/near, Zion.
Colorado - Great skiing, cold weather and snow constantly all 12 months of the year, Denver is looked up to by many people here for having colder weather and more things one might expect in a major urban area without being too different from Phoenix.
New Mexico - Very poor and dumpy, widespread drug and alcohol problems among residents all over, a dusty state that you have to cross when driving east, Native Americans.
Sonora, Mexico - Split between two groups. The first group enjoys Rocky Point (the closest beach to AZ) and will travel there often, will maybe visit Nogales every now and then, and the more adventurous may even venture all the way down to San Carlos. The other group sees Sonora as a place of extreme crime, you risk being kidnapped and/or beheaded and dismembered the moment you enter the country, drug smugglers everywhere, crooked cops, nasty water, shifty people.
Just last night, I was chatting with a CS rep on the 800-number, as I always do. She said she is from Arkansas and loves it and is very proud of it, but she is working in Texas. Then she added that her family was from Texarkana, Arkansas, but the only hospital there is on the Texas side, so she had to be born, involuntarily and against her fresh young judgment, in Texas, which was very irritating to her.
Speaking of Arkansas, up at the opposite corner there is a little notch in Arkansas, with a section of Missouri known as the Bootheel fitting into that notch. It is said by Missourians that if Missouri were to cede that Bootheel to Arkansas, the average IQ of both states would go up by a couple of points.
is this a joke? it was over 100 degrees here yesterday.. the heat must have melted the snow I guess?

Denver does not equal the entire state of Colorado. I was referring mainly to people's thoughts of the mountains, which is what people think of when they think Colorado. Isn't Denver on some Kansas-like prairie east of the mountains? Most people in Arizona don't know that a lot of Colorado is a flat as is it, nor as warm as it is.
