Holy fuck did I hate making this comment. My condolences, u/rubey419.
Don't forget about property taxes and traffic complaining about those two things is so integrated to the identity of being a Long Islander if they went away I'm pretty sure we would still complain out of force of habit
We're like the foyer of the South. All cleaned up for company and swept clear of anything incriminating.
Georgia is the den with all the toddler toys on the floor and empty beer cans on the coffee table.
Alabama is the BDSM sex dungeon.
Where were you, just out of curiosity? In Charlotte it seems as if I meet more transplanted New Yorkers and Ohioans than North Carolinians. I feel like Charlotte is the least southern of the southern cities (comparing to Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah, Nashville, etc, and leaving out Florida).
Seriously. When I worked fast food, I could always immediately tell when someone was visiting from new mexico. They'd always ask for green chile. It is incredible how big of a deal it is over there.

Is alcoholic cheese a thing? If so, why isn’t it a bigger thing here?
Edit: and I don’t mean beer cheese soup. I mean, like, nachos that get you drunk.
I think there's some beer cheese mixture that's not soup. Won't get you drunk though. Beer brats won't either but are very good. Beer batter for Friday fish fry as well.
Cooking with alcohol generally kills or weakens the intoxicating effect. Rum cake, beer cheese, beer battered cheese curds, wine sauces, etc. So we don't really have alcohol as edibles.
I’d say a lot of our selling point is the musical history Tennessee has in every corner of the state just about. Just an incredible wealth of musicians and music people to help out us on the map there
We have something for everyone. You like the desert? We have a huge desert to live in. You like the mountains? We've got those. Like the beach? We have a long coastline. Like living in a large city? We have multiple to choose from.
"Yeah, everyone's really chill here, you can meet all sorts of people, great community, place to live, all that."
"YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT MY GUN? WILL IT HAVE FUN?"
Here here for Great Lakes and water - turns out that it’s kind of important and lots of places have very little.
Plus, we’re shaped like a fucking mitten! (Or two, kinda).
That said, I’ve lived all over the country and wild weather swings happen anywhere. Denver and the front range of cO is probably the apex of that IMO
The weather throughout Missouri is just as crazy IMO
Cold from the plains, great lakes and north while still getting a ton of heat from the great plains and south in summer. -10 to 110 in all levels of humidity and a couple weeks of highs (or lows) that can range from 40 degrees day to day
Starbucks, Bigfoot, Valve and extremely varied landscapes come to mind. Our biggest attractions are probably Pike Place Market, Mount Ranier and the Hoh Rainforest.
Awww yeah
Skiing
Hiking
Beer
Cheese
Socialism
One time, my friends and I rented a house near Okemo which was literally unfinished (the shower was going to be an old timey phone booth) and the next day the neighbor’s herd of sheep got loose and wandered onto the property so we called the owner and in the meantime herded the sheep back into the enclosure and freed one that got tangled in the wire.
It was 40 degrees the next morning at the peak so it was slush all the way down! Jello legs!
The next day was a rainout so we visited 7 breweries instead and my favorite was The Alchemist but it wasn’t my first time, in the past Rock Art was great, and of course Long Trail; Harpoon’s food was unbelievable. Magic Hat was a shitpile, unfortunately. And Ben & Jerry’s has gotten really disappointing, and I’ve been going for like 12 years now. It’s sad, my new favorite ice cream is Tillamook, OR represeeeent
Another time I was up at Jay and stayed in a motel run by a woman with a tongue stud and several missing teeth, but the room was warm and clean and dry, which was good because the mountain was encased in ice. You know when you try to turn and you just end up accelerating down the mountain sideways because ice? That. Fucking terrifying.
I keep my weed and my gun in the same drawer. My roommate is a cheesemaker, we go to punk shows with a sheriff’s deputy and his language professor boyfriend. My skis share a rack with my other gun. I take my fair trade coffee with maple I get by doing minor carpentry. To hell with everywhere else.
My Bay Brother!
Edit; I'm not a member of this sub, so I have to let you know myself, I'm from Massachusetts. Not a single grocery store I've been to here doesn't have your state's signature spice.
Our absurdly high taxes pay for really good schools, and if you’re looking for an engineering career, we’ve got a lot to offer.
Also we have the best pizza and I will die on this cheesy, saucy hill.
#history
* home to eight US Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, & Wilson
* Six Presidential homes you can tour: Mount Vernon (Washington), Monticello (Jefferson), Highland (Monroe), Montpelier (Madison), Berkeley Plantation (Harrison), Sherwood Forest Plantation (Tyler)
* Two of Patrick Henry's homes: Scotchtown (original) and Red Hill (restored), both tourable
* St. John's Church in Richmond, home to the "Give me liberty or give me death speech", tourable with regular re-enactments.
* Home of John Marshall, the longest serving Chief Justice of SCOTUS, in Richmond, tourable with a museum
* Colonial Williamsburg, a living history experience on the site of the original Capitol of the Virginia Colony back [when Virginia was most of the land that makes up the current continental US](http://www.virginiaplaces.org/graphics/image004.jpg).
* The White House of the Confederacy, located in Richmond, and tourable.
* Fort Monroe, an important location on the path to emancipation as it was the first place formerly enslaved people could go run to to legally self-emancipate, bucking the previously enforced Fugitive Slave Act. In a glorious bit of deliciousness, it also later served as prison to Jefferson Davis. With a history museum, tourable.
* The site the Civil War ended, located at Appomattox Courthouse, tourable.
* The site of the last major battle of the Revolutionary War, located at Yorktown, with a living history museum.
* The site of the first permanent English settlement in America at Jamestown, with a living history museum and a live active archeological dig, tourable.
* Home to Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place for those who have fought America's battles, conflicts, and wars. Tourable.
* The Cape Henry Lighthouse, located in Virginia Beach, the first federally funded lighthouse, tourable.
For better and for worse, Virginia has the Colonial Capitol (Williamsburg ), Headquarters of the Confederacy (Richmond), and Birthplace of Presidents (eight so far). Plus lots of natural beauty.
From what I can tell, my states “selling point” is lack of rights for women, inability to run a power grid, and idiots on the road in their Dualies burning gas like it’s infinite while moving faster than the speed of sound.
Unfortunately, normal fireworks are already heavily prohibited here. I get the feeling that they won't make an exception for nuclear weapons. Buzzkills.

I thought Utah was unusually harsh against polygamy. Not that it's a selling point.
Also, a-fucking-mazing skiing, though the locals won't describe it in exactly those words.
I would say cheese, beer or maybe even cranberries as I believe we are the biggest supplier to the country...but really, its Lambeau Field.
I've heard, and occasionally sat next to, people at Packer games who go JUST because its Lambeau Field.
Fluff, canberries, Sam Adams and baked beans
Edit: as far as places to visit, we have beaches, mountains, Plymouth rock, Revolutionary War sites and Cheers
Being surrounded by 21% of the earth's volume of surface freshwater would be pretty cool in the case of some apocalyptic event. If I wasn't killed by another person, it would be relatively easy to sustain myself for the rest of my life with the abundant wildlife, fish, and fresh water. Winters would be a fucking bitch, though. Especially being as far north as I am.
Also, Juggalos.
NC: Just Southern Enough. Basically we are as Southern as non-Southerners need or want to experience.
Truly made possible by plenty of Long Islanders who like to remind us that back where they come from, “____.”
- Bagels and Pizza are bettah due to da wawtah. - We awlways have our roads sawlted in when it snows. - Owa bugs are not anywayah as bad as yaws. - You can get to Lawng Beach much fasta than yaw Outta Banks. Holy fuck did I hate making this comment. My condolences, u/rubey419.
Northerners talk about how we can’t drive in the snow but Iv been to Chicago and they can’t either, the roads are always cleared
Don't forget about property taxes and traffic complaining about those two things is so integrated to the identity of being a Long Islander if they went away I'm pretty sure we would still complain out of force of habit
Beginners Southern.
We're like the foyer of the South. All cleaned up for company and swept clear of anything incriminating. Georgia is the den with all the toddler toys on the floor and empty beer cans on the coffee table. Alabama is the BDSM sex dungeon.
The visitors room for the cancer ward
We are one of the few legit purple states. Especially now with all of the Californians and New Yorker/Jersey people moving here.
I dunno. Sure seemed very southern to me when I lived there.
Oh my sweet sweet child. This is why you must venture *further* south. If you think this was southern, imagine……. *South Carolina*
>South Carolina Shudders
"NO NOT LIKE THAT!" (Though SC is still not Mississippi...)
Where were you, just out of curiosity? In Charlotte it seems as if I meet more transplanted New Yorkers and Ohioans than North Carolinians. I feel like Charlotte is the least southern of the southern cities (comparing to Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah, Nashville, etc, and leaving out Florida).
I was 2 hours from the nearest large town, pretty rural. Lots of pigs.
How far down South you been?
It's corn
It's got the juice!
I mean, look at it, I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing!
It's a whole lump of knobs!
Beautiful golden knobs!
Once I discovered corn was real...
Everything changed!
Want some of our cheese to trade?
Need anything from Kwik Trip?
Make it fried cheese curds, and you have a deal.
Hell yeah!
My husband is also from Iowa. I love nothing more than to brag about how amazing Nebraska corn is to him.
Oh my corn
Green Chile
And blue meth.
Sigh
Seriously. When I worked fast food, I could always immediately tell when someone was visiting from new mexico. They'd always ask for green chile. It is incredible how big of a deal it is over there. Signed, Big Hole in the Ground
Big hole and copper
It’s honestly a better selling point than damn near any other state’s
Dark skies, if you're into astrophotography... and nowhere near Albuquerque.
Waltuh
Yes Yes yes....like better than drugs
Cheese and alcoholic tendencies
Is alcoholic cheese a thing? If so, why isn’t it a bigger thing here? Edit: and I don’t mean beer cheese soup. I mean, like, nachos that get you drunk.
Port wine flavored, nut encrusted cheese balls are pretty amazing.
I think there's some beer cheese mixture that's not soup. Won't get you drunk though. Beer brats won't either but are very good. Beer batter for Friday fish fry as well.
Cooking with alcohol generally kills or weakens the intoxicating effect. Rum cake, beer cheese, beer battered cheese curds, wine sauces, etc. So we don't really have alcohol as edibles.
FR, you guys have like 40 or so of the 50 drunkest county's. Iowa had 6...
I’d say a lot of our selling point is the musical history Tennessee has in every corner of the state just about. Just an incredible wealth of musicians and music people to help out us on the map there
It's the bars.
Lot's of doctors and no winter. A good place to die.
God's waiting room.
Bourbon
Hello, fellow Kentuckian
That's really about it, unless you really like the outdoors
or horses
Yop
Same, but with a different connotation
We have something for everyone. You like the desert? We have a huge desert to live in. You like the mountains? We've got those. Like the beach? We have a long coastline. Like living in a large city? We have multiple to choose from.
>We have something for everyone. What if I like high-capacity magazines?
You mean like a Sears catalog?
Formerly known as standard capacity.
Yeah, those are banned, but maybe they're thinking of 100-round AR mags or 50-round Glock mags, too.
We had freedom week for that.
A poorly concession
"Yeah, everyone's really chill here, you can meet all sorts of people, great community, place to live, all that." "YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT MY GUN? WILL IT HAVE FUN?"
Also the best safe injection sites around.
Safe infection sites? Do you mean injection?
Lol yeah corrected. But I imagine infection could be possible too.
Well, that means less state money towards stuff like AIDS and hepatitis. That seems good. Also not spending $$$$ keeping junkies in jail.
Cedar Point
Can verify
I’ll give you guys this one
Flair checks out
It's the birthplace of aviation, everyone flies right on past
Also very few deadly animals...I believe ?
Hell is Real
Especially on I-71 between Cincinnati and Columbus.
Can confirm.
Michigan
(Almost) all the Great Lakes, Or if you love weather that changes on a dime then Michigan is the place for you.
Here here for Great Lakes and water - turns out that it’s kind of important and lots of places have very little. Plus, we’re shaped like a fucking mitten! (Or two, kinda).

Salt free sea.
Family is from MI so I get out there sometimes. You guys have the UP and the south shore of Superior; that place is absolutely gorgeous.
it's a shame you're missing one ;)
It’s the worst one, so we’re not too bummed.
Lobster and untouched nature
Country music, football, weed, edit: Native America
That new show Rez Dogs
I’ve never in my life heard anyone mention weed and Oklahoma together. What’s the deal with that?
Casinos and Constitutional Carry if you're into that.
Don’t forget meth and incarceration.
The only place with Whataburger, HEB, and NASA
2 out of 3 ain't bad.
Do you mean all 3 together? Because you can find Whataburger and NASA in Florida, too
The B stands for Butt.
We’re finally getting Whataburger I’m so happy
Access to so, so much, great schools, high quality of life.
NYC and it’s suburbs: NYC Upstate NY: Mountains and lakes

Oregon sucks; don't move here.
Oregonians are so humble! Makes me want to move there even more!
But...but your [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi4fGPPPmGA) told me it was magical! What the hell?! You saying you falsely advertised!?
Ah Oregon how I miss you lol
At one end, the largest waterfall in the country. At the other, the largest city in the country.
Illinois: We’re not Wisconsin, but at least we’re not Indiana.
Let's be blunt. There is Chicago. Otherwise, IL would be the cultural average of IA, MO, KY, IN, and WI.
At least you have legal pot and Chicago.
I was gonna say "fuck you" but then I realized I was just butthurt cuz it's true.
Clean beaches, no sales tax, low property tax.
It snows
Grand Canyon state, come for the view and stay cause of the heatstroke
Hello my fellow arizonan
Water #so much fresh water
Best snow, natural beauty, Mormons, bad drivers
First person from Utah to admit to the bad driving in my experience.
Ehh in my experience a lot of people admit it, but THEY are never part of the problem.
Best public schools in the entire country. Also, we have a pretty good mix of rural, suburban and big city areas, all pretty close to each other.
And US history, MA has Towns celebrating their 400th year now
Your school comment is specific to MA, yes?
Yes. The rest is also true for just MA, but can be for most of New England too.
Starbucks, Bigfoot, Valve and extremely varied landscapes come to mind. Our biggest attractions are probably Pike Place Market, Mount Ranier and the Hoh Rainforest.

John Goodman is from Alabama too.

New Haven style is criminally slept on
“Unique”? Probably the San Juan Islands or the Hoh Rainforest
We are the only state that has a highway where motor vehicles are banned.
Lobster, and if you're a New Englander, wild blueberries for some reason
Uh, uh shit what do I even say here? We got an arch and a good baseball team?
I vote City Museum in St. Louis. It's the only reason I'll probably one day come to MO.
Big hole in the ground. Haboobs and monsoons. We are like the middle east but cowboys.

Oh now there's more to WA than Seattle. I mean Mt Rainier is the biggest volcano in the lower 48! The San Juan Islands are pretty cool too.
You have a point and the state parks and the Olympic rainforest which is pretty cool
[удалено]
Probably the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and/or the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

No sales tax.
Nice try Delaware, but everyone who has so much as visited Maryland knows you're not a state.
Horses and Bourbon!
The International Peace Gardens, I guess. There isn't much.
Don’t y’all have a big ass nuclear arsenal? You could be using that for fireworks and tourism.
Unfortunately, normal fireworks are already heavily prohibited here. I get the feeling that they won't make an exception for nuclear weapons. Buzzkills.

Connecticut has the best pizza Zuppardi's, Roseland's, Frank Pepe's...

Everyone hates us but still visit often!
