But you got Detroit :

[Jeff]

No, Detroit has Detroit.

[SawyerBrown]

Sorry, don't believe it.  Illinois is as rank as they come!   ;D

[mesquite buckeye]

Wow. That was deep and definitive. Glad they like your state, Jeff.

But really? ;D 8) 8) 8)

[Tom L]

NJ is ranked 21, so this automatically says the data is flawed and makes no sense what so ever.

we are dead last in almost everything, and not so proud of it, no way it is correct.

[Jeff]

I thought you all would be convinced.  :D

Really? ;D 8) 8) 8)




 

Just sayin'

Looks pretty hot and desolate to me too.

GIGO. 
The authors need to look up the term. 
Not going to dispute the order as everyone has an opinion but the logic and the language they use epitomizes GIGO.

[Jeff]

For the record, I don't agree with the authors in the least, other than maybe the number one.  ;D I do know if it was Texas they had picked number one, Don Staples would have started at least a dozen new topics telling you about it. :D

[mesquite buckeye]

These things are fun, but not to be taken seriously. All the states have things they are proud of.  ;D 8) 8) 8)

Some of those descriptions are mighty  smiley_dizzy

We have traveled to all 50 and there are reasons to avoid and reasons to revisit all of them.

[loggah]

Those guys who did this poll are smokin to many of those "LEFT HANDED" cigarettes !!! ;D ;D altho they got New Hampshire in the middle which is somewhat correct ! Michigans UP is nice ,i have never been south  of it,traveled across rt 2 a bunch of times.

[Jeff]

And I consider rt2 the least scenic and least wonderful of the U.P. If you consider that nice, you would fall in love with the rest of it.

[Magicman]

We spent a week in the UP.  We used Indian Lake as our base camp and branched out from there.   8)

[florida]

Just remember that Florida is a state populated by people who left their home states. We have a HUGE population of ex-northerners! Lol!

[petefrom bearswamp]

 that lump in the authors cheek has to be his tongue

[Texas Ranger]

Like, who ever moved up north to retire?  Texas is, the other 49 are not.

[Buckshot00]

Michigan?  Really?

[Corley5]

US 2 SUXS!!!  For a time it was and may still be the most dangerous stretch of highway in Michigan.  I'm a stressed out wreck after driving it.  Not enough passing lanes and when there is one the car doing 42 mph with 15 vehicles backed up behind it promptly and predictably accelerates to 70+ and then decelerates back to 42 at the end of the passing zone.  M-28 is much more enjoyable.

Those guys who did this poll are smokin to many of those "LEFT HANDED" cigarettes !!! ;D ;D
