Why did you feel compelled to be negative on this thread? I specifically asked that we keep things positive. You could have easily stopped typing after listing the states you like rather than going on to list states you find boring. Why be intentionally contentious?
why not ?
i was positive about some states
i have nothing against these states, i just don't really like them
if you want my reasons for disliking them then just ask
Start your own negative thread. I specifically asked that posters on this thread keep from being negative and stick to listing states that they love and why they love them.
I am uninterested in why you dislike some states by the way.
Excluding my home state of Pennsylvania (woo-woo!) it would probably be:
1. North Carolina-love the Outerbank beaches and The Smoky Mountains-Blue Ridge Parkway into Asheville. I haven't been to much of the center of the state though-Raleigh, Charlotte, etc.
2. California-so diverse! Love San Diego, San Francisco, Newport Beach/Laguna and want to explore more of Northern Cali, National Parks and also LA and Oakland.
3. New York-lived and went to school in NYC (The Bronx)-it often feels like home to me-not only NYC but the rowhomes and Irish/Italians/AA in Albany/Troy or skiiing at Hunter, Lake George/The Catskills/Saratoga Racetrack, Long Island beaches.
Of course so many other states are great as well.
Honorable mention to states that really intrigue me although I haven't been yet:
Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Hawaii
Connecticut - Nothing to do, bad scenery, bad cities, run down
New Jersey - just one urban mess, bad scenery, rude, run down, bad cities
Delaware - Low population, no cities, no good scenery, boring
Mississippi - crime, bad education, bad scenery, hardly any urban areas, run down
Alabama - crime, bad education, bad scenery,run down
Rhode Island - small, nothing to do, boring
Texas - terrible climate, bad countryside (plains and arid desert), cities are a bit meh
Oklahoma - Flat and boring, nothing to do
Kansas - Flat and Boring, nothing to do
South Dakota - scenery is a bit meh, no decent cities, boring
Nebraska - endless plains and boredom
Hawaii - Climate, Isolation, boring, feels touristy
Nevada - basically just las vegas and a huge desert and las vegas is a bad city TBH, gambling, crime and boredom
Florida - Climate, too many tourists, i just really dislike Florida in general, everything from the scenery to miami, orlando etc..
Maryland - Crime, Baltimore, run down, etc..
I'm really curious about Iowa now. My daughter's inlaws are from there and she has always been full of praise about it. She is especially struck by the rolling hills. She says it's a very picturesque state.
My other daughter lived in Idaho for awhile (home of Napoleon Dynamite!) and she LOVED the terrain and said the summers were especially beautiful.
Let's keep the thread positive, folks! Please avoid the temptation to respond to people who insist on being negative and inflammatory. This thread has been a very enjoyable read, showcasing many positives - some unknown and unexpected - about various states and I'd like to keep it that way.

I'm with you on Iowa and Idaho. I would love to eventually visit every state. I belive there is something for everyone to like everywhere.
