Which states in the US are unknown to you. they don't really make an impression on you or you just don't hear about them at all. What states are "unknown" to you?
Montana, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Nebraska, the Dakotas, pretty much all of those plains and western states. It is a part of the country I've almost never visited (I visited Colorado and Arizona once when I was 16 years old and haven't been back since) ... it is a part of the country that someday I would like to see, but I don't know anyone who lives there. Basically the entirety of the US west of the Mississippi is a bit 'mysterious' to me as I've only been out that way a few times (and recently it has only been to the Pacific Northwest, I've not been to the interior west since that above mentioned trip).
That being said, I've been all over the great lakes region and the northeast coast, those areas I know fairly well.
..oh, and I'd live to give the south a proper visit some day. I've never really been there either except for a visit to Kentucky when I was 13 and a conference in North Carolina.
Because of TV I think we have been exposed to all of the states although we may not realize it. Just watching weather reports makes me aware of all the states. Also as I look for a city to retire to I have been studying maps of the country.
Visiting is great, although when your parents have cars with crap back seats and you're a grad student, family road trips become much less appealing.
I would not want to live in any of them. I could probably handle Iowa, and eastern Kansas.
Hawaii. Yeah, I've seen all the images in movies, tv, etc, but I've never been there. I learned as a kid, from the first time I went to FL that the image portrayed in the media and the reality of the place can be very different. I reserve judgement on a place until I've spent time there, despite the abundant stereotypes most places have attached to them.
