I’ve never talked to locals while driving through, but a lot of them are probably decent people, just like everywhere else. I’ve based my opinion solely on whether it’s somewhere I’d want to take a motorcycle trip and...nope. Worst state out of 47. Next worst would be Mississippi, although the north part is pretty nice.
