Then you're missing out on Cajun country, New Orleans, Miami, Orlando, and many other places.

All the places listed are on the coast (except Orlando, which is 60 miles to the beach). Mobile, coastal MS, and the Outer Banks NC are also nice places to visit. Everywhere else inland is meh.
Personally, anybody who makes a blanket statement about any region, state, or even city, is a bit of a nitwit to me. I've been to every state except Alaska, Idaho, and Oregon, and I've found some great places in all of them.
Nice. LA is like a different planet. You have black racist gangs who hate white, Latinos, and Asians. You have ghettos where people kill each other on a regular basis. And you have the Hollywood area where celebrities think the world revolves around them when the only thing revolving around them are paprazzi. So it's a city of shooting. Shooting bullets (gangs), shooting photos (paprazzi), and shooting Botox (celebrities and wannabes).
Exactly! They live in this jungle and have the nerve to criticize other places. Go figure.

Does that include foreign destinations? Or does that rule only hold within the US boundaries?
most corn is livestock feed. And the cornfields are pretty--about 3 months out of the year; then they turn brown and then the corn is harvested and then the dirt and corn stover is all that is left until the next year when the little corn plants start to emerge. And here in South Dakota, the chemical additives used in the cornfields run into the waterways and turn the lakes green by mid to late June. I had to rinse my boat every time I pulled it from the lake just to keep it from turning green.
Maybe that's why on the National Park map the Midwest is a huge black hole

True -- I have been to most states, and I have found good things everywhere I have gone. A few weeks ago, I was transferred to Kansas. Most of the people I work with hate it there -- KANSAS?!? -- they mope and complain about it.
Well, it so happens where we are is about 8 miles from a major university. There are about 2 square miles around the university where there are cool coffee shops, book stores, taverns, trendy restaraunts. The area is small, but I rarely leave it. The neighborhood could have been carved out of any major city. It's nice.
I bet if the OP visisted the area, he'd drive around and look at the rundown shops, the gun ranges, the cow patties, the tractors, the country churches, the old diners, and turn up his nose and think how awful the area is.
The OP's post is typical of the east/west coast liberals' view of (fly over country). There were many New Orleans natives who, prior to hurricane Katrina, never left the city. After Katrina kicked them out, many of them also felt some culture shock. Some had to learn the hard way that walking down the street drinking booze isn't legal, other cities' DA/jails don't have a revolving door, and that there is life outside the city. Some even chose to remain where they were evacuated to.

Not hard to understand.
