Yeah, never mind the silly little fact that around 95% of the entertainment industry of America resides in California. Tongue

Like what? Sit on your ass jobless like Mike Naso?

How many times have you been to Ohio, and where exactly did you go?

Also, Mike Naso is 15 and is still in school.  I think we can excuse his joblessness.

Ohio has the best amusment park in the world, for starters.

Florida has at least 3-4 better ones no doubt.

Definetely not. Cedar Point kicks Disney World's ass any day.

Iowa is a great state. My dad always told me it's the closest thing America has to Hungary. I would love to visit someday.

While I'm no fan of North Dakota and didn't like living there, I will point out that it does have some interesting historical sites.

Now while Nebraska has more things to do in Omaha and Lincoln, the rural part is even worse than the Dakotas. My brother went to college for one semester in Kearney, which is out in central Nebraska in the middle of nowhere (then he got homesick and came home and goes to a community college now). Anyway, here's any intersting fact I heard from him and my mom on tehir drive down there: There is actually a stretch of road (about 80 miles) where there are absolutely no towns and for a good portion you can not use a cell phone becuase there are no nearby towers, and there are no radio stations. Talk about empty. It's in Cherry county (that gigantic county on the north of the state that has barely any people in it).

Just took a look at Cherry County on Wikipedia.  It has about 6,100 people in about 6,000 square mile.  About 1/2 of the population (2,800 or so) lives iN Valentine which is in the far NE corner of the county.  This county takes the middle of no where to a hole new meaning

Utah?  I would say that Salt Lake City, with a population of 1,333,914 and which hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, makes at least that part of Utah not entirely boring.  Nebraska has, like, nothing.

Sorry dazzleman... but I vote for Connecticut.

You have a point. But the great thing about our state is that while nothing is here, there's tons to do right over the borders in New York and Mass. Thats why we have so many suburbs, people live there but work and have fun in other places.

I'll say North Dakota

I read somewhere that if its population trends continue, the Census Bureau will start to reclassify large parts of it as "frontier". I don't know what practical effects that would have. Maybe the government would start giving away free land like in the Homestead Act

ND, rural Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma also seem very boring. I've only been west of the Miss. River once so these are all assumptions.

Of the states I've been to I'd say parts of Iowa are really boring. In some places the land is as close to completely flat as I've ever seen, no hills, no trees, not even a bush to hide behind if you need to pee. There is just highway and flat farmland.

I wouldn't say Utah is boring-- in retrospect, it was pretty fun being chased by Mormons.  And while states like Kansas, Nebraska, and Idaho are boring, they're still generally nice (except Kansas when it's tornado season).
