See how you rate.

I must be in the "worst" of WA, or some one thinks. I believe they got that completely bass ackwards.
The worst part of WA by far is west of the Cascades, except for where the land runs out and it becomes glorious water, filled with fish to catch and eat.
;) =D

Seems about right.
32. New York
Best: Anytime you want something, you can go out and buy it. Things are done fast in almost every aspect.
Worst: You develop a growing hatred for the human race. When i meet someone new, I already hate them a tiny bit because they are another human being.

Best thing about I-95, I-64, and I-81 lead out of the state.
Worst thing about Virginia is that too many folks think I-95, I-64, and I-81 lead into the state. That and the General Assembly rapes the rest of the state in road taxes to fix the roads in Northern Virginia instead of building a wall and minefield around the place.
stay safe.

*expletive deleted*ck them. I like Alabama.
-
13. Illinois
Best: Chicago is the single best thing about the state.
It's also the single worst thing about the state.
One good thing that occured to me during 2014's visit to New Hamster was that the regional dominant megapolis, Boston, was in a different state.

I don't get it. Did they only interview imbeciles and progressives?

Everyone was from reddit.

Michigan has good sports teams? Whoever answered that one has never set foot in Michigan...except maybe for the Red Wings.

Connecticut:
Good: I'm about 60 minutes away from VT.
Bad: (silent weeping)
Edit: the trees are ok I guess

In Vermont, the good things are
1. Maple Syrup
2. You're 60 minutes away from New Hampshire
3. Weed?
4. Hippie Chicks??
Worst thing: Summer only lasts one month
-
And since they left South Carolina off the list:
Best thing: Charleston
Worst thing: Columbia and the politicians therein

Washington's best was that they were "child free"- hate to tell those stupid *expletive deleted*s but the future belongs to those who show up for it.
-
Louisiana
Best: The state has a generally laid-back attitude, as evidenced by own unofficial motto Laissez les bons temps rouler or "Let the good times roll."
Worst: High crime rates and STD rates (Baton Rouge is #1 for HIV per capita in the US).
-
They asked one person from each state? Lame. Not really thread-worthy.
Alaska's is hilarious.
-
5. California
Best: Population is more fit than any other state I've been to besides Colorado, a lot of talented artists
Worst: Low air quality, Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor at one point
The worst is an example of just how good the medical MJ is. I could fill up a page, easy, with the worst of California. Along with some better "Best" than a lot of talented artists. =D
-
43. Texas
Best: No income tax, lots of land which means nice wide streets and big houses
Worst: We only have two seasons with two week transition periods in between (summer, which is hot as hell, and winter)
What is it with yankees bitching about seasons? I sometimes wonder if this is the only state they come to where they complain about that.

Try going to page 2. ;)

Oklahoma:
the people are just so *expletive deleted*ing nice.
-
16. Kansas
Best: One of the marquee BBQ styles comes from here.
Worst: The crazies. I don't know what it is, but Kansas gets all kinds of crazies. Whether religious, political (on both sides of the spectrum), or just old fashioned 'kill dudes' crazy, Kansas gets 'em.
25. Missouri
Best: Lax liquor laws, cheap cigarettes, low cost of living, low taxes.
Worst: Clueless politicians, extreme poverty in both very urban and very rural areas, highest bankruptcy rate in the nation.
36. Oklahoma
Best: The people are incomparable. After our huge tornado, I can't tell you how many people selflessly went to help with no regards for themselves. Every day life is so much better because the people are just so *expletive deleted*ing nice.
Worst: Rednecks, not much to do in the way of entertainment, and *expletive deleted*ing SPIDERS.
About right for each one.

From the 2nd page:
40. South Carolina
Best: Good ol' Southern cooking
Worst: Racists, horrible grammar
-
35. Ohio
Best: Ohio has a little bit of everything and everyone.
Worst: Ohio has a little bit of everything and everyone.
WTF is that?
-
38. Pennsylvania
Best: Big cities (Philly, Pittsburgh) with a lot of culture, interesting people, good food etc.
Worst: Small minded people, violent people, pollution.
Pittsburgh is surprisingly nice. Philly is not unless you stick to very very specific areas. Uh, we don't have a pollution problem. That'd be New Jersey. I wasn't aware we had violent people any higher than normal. Small minded people? About the same as anywhere else.
Sounds like list was made by someone who didn't know much about the states in question.

About right for each one.
Are they talking about "Kansas City style" barbecue? I just assumed that name came from KC, MO.

Kansas has a style that most of the KC area uses. There are some in the KC area that used the St Louis style but for the most part in Kansas/Kansas City the sauce isn't put on the meat during the cooking process. It is left to the consumer to decide if they want sauce on their meat.
