I've heard that Tallahassee is very technically the end of the Appalachian region. I do feel like this is stretch the definition a bit but I can kind of see it.

I'm not sure about this one. Any links? The Appalachians turn sharply in northern GA towards Alabama then peter out.
I don't think any part of Florida is part of the Appalachian geologic area. I believe it is all coastal plain.
Closer to home I always hear about how flat the east side of the Denver metro area is. Aurora is nothing but barren prairie. https://goo.gl/maps/qdpb7bRCNTQKHqwi9

The Flint Hills are about the only positive of driving across Kansas on I-70, and they're pretty brief. I would rather pop my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon than drive either I-135 or I-70 in Kansas ever again.

Looks like they end just outside Columbus GA. Roughly 160 miles from Tallahassee. Still I wonder if that's close enough to have an effect. It's a lot closer than any other point in Florida.

What y'all are talking about is what is known as the Red Hills Region. It's not part of the Appalachians and is officially part of the Coastal Plain.
The driftless area of MN/WI/IA… the area is otherwise on the eastern edge of the plains, but is very hilly and beautiful around the st croix/Mississippi River
Omaha
Eastern Oklahoma
Pine mountain GA
Anniston Alabama
Manhattan has 500 foot cliffs across the Hudson that are
Visible from the west side shore line. Fairly dramatic. Staten Island itself rises to over 400 feet dramatically in the Todt Hill neighborhood - with excellent views of NY harbor opening up toward the open Atlantic Ocean, and of course, incredible views of the Manhattan skyline as well. Within metro limits is Mount Beacon which is 1,600 feet high, also rising dramatically from the Hudson - 30 miles as crow flies midtown Manhattan. It’s visible from the skyscrapers - and you can see the skyline from the top of the mountain as well.
I'm pretty sure most people are aware of the mountains in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and most definitely Tennessee.
Tennessee for sure, and Missouri/Arkansas to a lesser extent but most people do think Oklahoma is all flat as a pancake. The Arbuckles surprised me when I first encountered them.

I guess as someone who always looks at maps and is generally well learned, also knows of people who vacation in Branson/Ozarks it was always pretty obvious they all have mountains.
