Ohio doesn't have Mountains, Desert, "Global city"
California is the only winner here.
Desert, 2 Alpha cities, flat farm land, Mountains, etc....
Very few Americans live in a "Global city." It's for this reason that I think a lot of the coastal states are disqualified.
I can understand people disputing Ohio due to its lack of a Hispanic presence, but as far as things that are considered "traditionally American" it has as strong a case as anyplace else. Overall, just very neutral.

"Anytown, America" is not a phrase that refers to places that best represent America and all of its parts. It's used to describe the most bland, featureless places that seem to offer almost nothing that might make them distinct. Think of a place that you would have trouble guessing where it is.
The best answer I've heard so far is Missouri. I'd also add Indiana to that. Midwestern locales tend to be the best candidates.
I would disagree with Ohio because it doesn't have the diversity...there are a lot of Hispanics in the US and growing rapidly.
I'd give the nod to Florida.
How about Illinois then?? Its similar to Ohio, except a lot more hispanics.
Actually though, Ohio is more diverse than people might expect. Before this whole Ariel Castro trial, people probably didn't know there was a major Puerto Rican neighborhood in Cleveland.

Exactly. Any state with something that distinctively makes it different than the rest of the U.S. should be disqualified. So no offense, but it would have to be a bland state. I'm thinking Kansas, Indiana, Nebraska, or Ohio.
