Indiana: mostly just tired of it --- extended family lives across the state, so regularly went there growing up in IL. I've grown to appreciate the Midwest more since I've left, and the southern part of the state along the Ohio River looks pretty from the bit of streetviewing I've done. In Madison in particular, you can tell you're getting close to Appalachia.
I've lived in NW Indiana and now southern Indiana (western Floyd County). The woods and hills are far nicer here, I can grow just about any type of tree imaginable here with the favorable soils, longer growing season, and summer temperatures that aren't too hot. The nice thing is the state of Indiana caps property taxes at 1% of the assessed value. I'm at more than double the elevation of New Albany- a town on the Ohio River. Climate is very strange here with crazy amounts of precipitation, winter temperatures that are generally too mild, but often fairly late freezes in Spring and early frosts in the Fall. I've recorded over 70 inches of precipitation in one year in southern Indiana as well.
Mississippi has some great history on blues musicians in some of its towns in the Delta region, some very attractive women for those who stay in shape, and some decent suburbs of Memphis in Desoto County.
An all purpose one for pretty much everywhere: At least it isn't Philadelphia.
For Philly, the city of Brotherly Shove, there are interesting historical sites, nice art museums and beautiful architecture. Sections of the streets named after nuts are gorgeous and the Schuykill is one of the prettiest river to run through a city.
I don’t hate Dayton, OH, but a lot of people seem to. So I’m kind of cheating but the eastern suburbs have some great nature trails. I probably “hiked” more there than I do in Colorado
Oklahoma has an important mix of Native American tribes and tribal history.
Really. Where I live in Oklahoma was once part of the lands that Native American tribes had to give up to the United States for being on the side of the Confederates during the Civil War. It led to the Boomer Movement which ended with the first Oklahoma land run in 1889. Payne County where I live was named after one of the leaders of the Boomer Movement.
