I'm giving a vote for Virginia. Even in non-southern Northern Virginia people are much friendlier and more polite than the rest of the DC area. The Shenandoah Valley had some of the warmest and most hospitable people I've met anywhere.

I think the people are nicer in places where they have some space. Cities that are tightly developed with people living on top of each other with the resulting noise, traffic and harsh living, are more unfriendly.
I have traveled to all 50 States, many times over. I am convinced that the area between Northern VA to Boston has Americas most unfriendly people. The nicest people live in the Rust Belt, The Mountain States and Down South.
In my opinion there really is no more or less friendly STATE as a whole, because every state has stuffy areas where people generally turn away and friendly areas.
Quite honestly, I've done some traveling and never notice a huge difference in the friendliness of people.
i agree with bmurphy. I happen to think that the southern hospitality thing is the biggest myth ever as far as supposedly friendly areas go and Texas is not exempt from this. There are wonderful friendly people in Texas but you'll meet them OUTSIDE the big cities.
I don't think Colorado is THAT friendly, Yorkie_Mom. But it's a better than a lot of other places.
I vote for Texas. Those are some remakably nice people.
