Can confirm as someone who lives in Maine about 20 minutes south of Augusta, it's not uncommon for us to still have snow on the ground while the Masters are being held down south. Early April would be terrible for golf up here even without snow as the ground is starting to thaw and becomes mud everywhere
Wisconsin resident here! It's a beautiful state and often ignored and overlooked! We have so many gorgeous state parks, Amish communities, hiking trails, bluffs, lake Michigan with many islands to explore, caves, waterfalls, and our very popular Door County Penninsula that is so popular with tourists. And of course, our amazing dairy products (most notably our cheeses), beers, bratwurst, and cranberries! Not to mention out northern midwest kindness and hospitality.
Walmart just announced they were moving out of Portland Oregon due to uncontrolled shoplifting. Target also left and so are many others. Even Starbucks isn't happy.
I’m from New Jersey and the image it showed was actually New York. That’s just across the River in probably Hudson county or something like that. There’s a running joke here that New Jersey is really only real estate for people who work in New York City and Philadelphia to live in Edit: was brought to my attention that that image was actually Brooklyn but my point still stands, you can see New York City from a large part of Eastern New Jersey
It’s Hoboken. Coming down the 14th street viaduct. The camera is facing midtown Manhattan and you can see the Hudson River peeking through at the end of the road.
When you saw Vermont and commented on the little houses going up the hill... You see that EVERYWHERE in the U.S. where there are hills. Little roads with houses up and down hills. The big thing going for New York (outside of the city), Vermont, and New Hampshire is the foliage - there are so many deciduous trees that turn GORGEOUS colors in the fall. Also - maple syrup making is huge in Vermont and New Hampshire.
As a lifelong resident of Wyoming, we like meeting newcomers to the state so long as you have a good head on your shoulders and a good heart in your chest. We're very proud of our state and don't wanna see it get overrun by people who don't care about keeping our state as pristine as possible. The weather can be tough to get used to however, the southern part of the state gets very windy, the summers are very hot, the winters are very cold. Spring and Fall are the best times to visit. Thanks for the video! It's nice seeing people care enough to not only sit through a long video, but actively listen and have thoughts of their own on them!
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away….. I was a long haul truck driver. Somewhere on I 80 heading west. There was a huge thunderstorm coming up through tornado alley. It was going to cross the road ahead of us eventually. We could see three different tornadoes on the ground! We literally put the pedal to the metal and just barely got past the storm. Watching our mirrors we saw the first tornado cross the road about 2 miles behind us. Talk about exciting! That was enough for that trip.
I'm from North Dakota and I'm so glad he did a bad review of our State. LOL! It keeps the Riffraff out. The only thing I dislike about Wyoming is the DAMN WIND! I honestly think it would be more populated because, it is such a friendly and GORGEOUS State is, the WIND! I kid you not every dang town has to deal with that wind. UGH! My hat's off to all who live there! 😀
The Masters is in Augusta, Ga. Capital of Maine is Augustus. I have lived all over. Albuquerque, NM has great weather. All four seasons, none too extreme.
I live in New Orleans, and I can say this... Mississippi is not far away. I've been all throughout the state, and this guy is selling it short by miles. It's beautiful.
Raleigh (capital of NC) and Durham are two separate cities in North Carolina. The airport that serves both cities is called Raleigh Durham Airport (RDU). Add in the town of Chapel Hill and those three make up what is known as The Triangle.
I’m from Mississippi we have some of the greatest people in the entire country. We are also the state they created rock ‘n’ roll and we are the heart of America’s music.
Being born and raised Minnesotan I can say our winters are brutal. Another video similar to this one on what each state is best and worst at had Minnesota as having the worst winters.
South East Tennessee here. I was born in Michigan and have lived in Alaska, Maine, New Mexico, Nevada and California. Also lived in Germany for 4 years. I moved from California to Tennessee in 2013. I am at home here in South East Tennessee . It’s beautiful, friendly and I love it. South East Tennessee and East Tennessee are different from the Middle and West Tennessee. East Tennessee used to be its own State of Friendsville, we became part of West Virginia but the became part of Tennessee. Tennessee was the home of Daniel Boone.
Detroit is not as bad as it was 20 years ago! It has almost done a complete 180! I live 10 minutes from there, my husband worked down there, and both of my kids currently work there. There are some bad areas, but the heart of Detroit is beautiful! The museum, The DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts) was just named the best museum in the country!
Beesleys, in case you're interested, the NASA spot in Huntsville is Marshall Space Flight Center. Maine is also the home of the north end of the Appalachian Trail, which starts way down in GA. Michigan is also the only state composed of 2 peninsulas--Upper and Lower.
Fun fact: When Michigan was seeking Statehood, it claimed the NW corner of Ohio belonged to Michigan. It turned out to be part of Ohio after it was surveyed again. As part of the deal, Michigan got the upper peninsula. The city being fought over was Toledo.
im 65 and i have a few favorites : i was born n raised in Iowa for 42yrs ,lived in seattle washington 2yrs, oklahoma 3yrs , colorado 1 yr, south dakota 2 yrs, and live in new mexico now 15yrs . i think no matter what state your in you can find beauty and something to do .😎🥰🌵
When I lived in Seattle (my favorite city), I drove to St Paul Minnesota for work. The raw beauty of Wyoming was awesome. It had some of the most beautiful landscapes that I have ever seen.
One of my professors told me some stories of traveling through Mississippi to see the musical historical sites. Hard times traveling out there in that weather sometimes, and heavily affected by deep entrenched poverty (meaning sometimes decent, usable facilities are hard to come by).
93% of New Jersey is quiet suburbs of New York City and Philadelphia. There's tons of farmland, protected woodlands and stunning coastline. It sounds like this guy flew into Newark airport once and decided the whole State was that. New Jerseans speak quickly and cut straight to the point as a form politeness. Things move quickly, we're just trying to save you time as a way of being considerate.
11:19 a Indiana girl here our biggest industry would be corn and soy beans, we are called Hoosiers by the way, and we have the biggest involvement with FFA.
Georgia is awesome, especially Atlanta. Lots of cool stuff to do there. The Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania is a really awesome place to go. Texas has a lot of anime companies in it.
California is, indeed, called the Golden State because of the Gold Rush of 1849. The miners who swarmed into California that year were called the "forty-niners," which later became the name of the San Francisco football team. People mistakenly believe the Golden Gate Bridge was named for the discovery of gold; in fact, it crosses the Golden Gate strait, which got its name in 1846 from John C. Fremont, who felt that the strait was "a golden gate to trade with the Orient."
Sacramento became the capitol because it was the closest city to the gold rush area. California is becoming the 4th. largest economy in the world. Beautiful areas, nice weather in the Southern half and is living in the 21st. Century, 180 deg. from political attitudes of Florida, Oklahoma, Tenn. for example.
Mississippi is easy to spell especially when you have the old song/saying for it "M I Crooked Letter Crooked Letter I Crooked Letter Crooked Letter I Humpback Humpback I" lol
My school's mascot was a Buccaneer & my siblings are 9 & 6 years older than me, so I learned how to spell it from cheerleaders at sporting events (my sister was a cheerleader too). I still say the cheer in my head whenever I have to spell it - which isn't often since the school merged with a neighboring school & we used the other school's mascot the Golden Bear (I was actually the bear mascot my senior year). There's several words that I remember learning to spell in either cheers, nursery type rhymes, songs, etc. When I was in 10th grade, we had the various spellings of principal/principle in English class - the Principal Val Melgeorge was a family friend (my dad was a teacher) & I worked in the principal's office all throughout highschool, so I still remember that the school principal is spelled this way because "Val is my pal" 🙂
I’m from Mississippi. I love it here. Mississippi has a lot of stereotypes that it can’t shake. It is not as prejudiced or as ignorant as people and tv makes us out to be. We have some of the nicest, warmest people you will ever meet. We are home to some of the greatest music ever heard. We are the home of rock and blues music and many great authors. Just avoid the big cities, they have the most crime.
Yes Mississippi Delta blues,I always have a romanticized image of Mississippi I don’t associate it with anything negative. I’ve never been there but that’s how I think of it
New York and New Jersey border each other. The tall building in the background at 21:54 is the Empire State Building in NYC. Yes, you can see NYC from parts of New Jersey.
I'm from Wisconsin. I moved away (to Arkansas and Arizona), but came back home as soon as I could. Wisconsin has a reputation for being only farmland, but we are so much more than that (though our cheese is the best in the country). Honestly, Door Country is probably one of the most beautiful places in Wisconsin, Especially in Autumn.
I've got family in Green Bay. I've been there in both summers and winters, and each of the times I went it was gorgeous. I'm born & raised in L.A., so definitely a culture shock. Slower pace, which I didn't mind!
The buildings you were commenting on in New Jersey were in fact in Manhattan, NY, NY. Jersey City, NJ is just across the Hudson River from NYC. The northern parts of New Jersey are basically a part of the NYC metro area, like western Connecticut. Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty park are essentially in New Jersey
I live near Wyoming and drive through there quite frequently due to a variety of reason (Family multiple times a year, and Yellowstone at least once a year) and depending on when you go it can be quite nice or not quite nice to drive through it. There is a window during late spring/early summer where the grasses are super green and is nice to drive through, but for good portions of the year you just drive through dead brown endless grass and shrubs. That being said there is a lot of cool areas that break the norm of that. There's a pleasant little canyon in the middle of the state, some mountains in the SE, and then there's all the mountains to the NW (Yellowstone area) and that area seems to be very green for a good portion of the spring and summer, and is, obviously, wonderful.
I guess if you’re from a big metropolitan area, Iowa would be boring. But I’m a native, and I can assure you that there’s plenty to enjoy here. Des Moines has so many good restaurants, there’s a small amusement park in Altoona, which is nestled up against the north east corner of Des Moines. Plus there are recreational areas and so many other good restaurants spread out over the state it’s ridiculous. Granted, you might have to look a little harder, or drive a little farther, but there’s no shortage of things to do here😊
Missouri has some really cool historical places to visit. Cities where the Oregon Trail began, the headquarters of the Pony Express, Hannibal where the Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books were based and where Mark Twain is from, Laura Ingles Wilder's house, Wilson's Creek Battlefield from the Civil War. Lots of things to do, like going to Branson for all the shows and concerts and activites, Lake of the Ozarks for the river and nice lodgings (be careful, because it can be a dangerous area when everyone is drunk and using boats...). My only advice is avoid the bootheel area and Springfield. Pretty dangerous areas.
Yup, my uncle from denver who sees some of the most beautiful mountains daily was in awe of how beautiful oklahoma was when he visited. I was young so I thought it was odd but as I've gotten older, I start to see the beauty in it more
Oklahoma really is beautiful. I've been through it on my way out west and it's exactly what you think of when you hear the word "prairie" and I love the wide open space.....not a fan of the tornadoes though.
As a resident of Mississippi, I can say it isn't as bad as people tend to think it is. The state has just been trapped in a never ending cycle of poverty that has terrorized the state for decades. Mississippi has a very poor education system, which leads to low test scores which leads to a very low number of jobs and industry being brought into the state, which leads to poor funding for the school system, which leads to lower test grades. Other than that, I would say that the citizens of Mississippi are some of the kindest people you will meet in America, the state is known as the hospitality state.
I live in Ohio and he didn't mention that we have The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I don't really know why he left out Nashville, Tennessee because that's where you go if you want to make it big in country music. Ohio is also known for being The Birthplace of Aviation. The Wright brothers were born here. Actually, only one was, Orville. During WW2, people came from out of state to get work in the rubber factories making tires and we, also, had Government jobs manufacturing parts for war planes. Akron used to be known as "the rubber capital of the world". Ohio has more than what the guy was making it out to be. A lot of the reason people have been moving out is because the rubber companies have closed and being sent overseas. Cleveland had Iron factories which produced Iron and Iron products. Those jobs have been outsourced, too. When jobs leave, so do people.
Yeah being from Ohio and hearing him say "it has been in the decline for the past 30 years" as he only focused on the negatives while not also over exaggerating them was not a good sign
Fun fact - the actress who played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz (Judy Garland) lived about 60 miles from my house here in Northeastern Minnesota. I found her & her family when I was researching my son's family tree - Judy Garland is my son's long lost cousin! Both of his paternal grandparents grew up in the Grand Rapids area where Judy's family lived.
That guy shit all over the State of Ohio. He's totally wrong. Cleveland is not a 'depressing place', it's a wonderful place, right on Lake Erie, and between the cities he mentioned, Columbus is the last on the list as far as I'm concerned. In any case, Ohio, we gave light and flight to the world.
One thing I have noticed with the creator whose video you reacted to is that he seems to value more urban and suburban experiences over rural experiences when describing and ranking States. I am from Louisiana but have spent time in a lot of U.S. states. Most of the ones that this guy says to avoid or says are boring are my favorites. It all depends on what you value. If you want to be within a short drive of the closest shopping and restaurants, his lists are ok. If you value a more rural experience, not so much.
I live in Huntsville Alabama and it is a wonderful place to live. More literal rocket scientists per capita then any other place in the world. Very high tech city
As a Floridian with parents from Cleveland and Detroit, I still have a connection to those states, which I think is awesome. I loved going to Cleveland in the summer and the carride through the smokies is something I'll never forget.
There is a rich history associated with states’ identities. Indiana is called the Hoosier state because of a common greeting by early settlers there. When they heard a knock on the cabin door they would say “Who’s here?” The people became associated with this phrase and became referred to as Hoosiers. You should take a look at why states are referred to by these unique identities. Tennessee for example is called the Volunteer state because of its residents’ over representation in the military. Oklahoma is the Sooner State, North Carolina is the Tarheel state. And so on…
do you think Indianna 𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙨 the response "who's there" when someone knocks on their door? I can't think of one place in the English speaking world that doesn't say this.
I'm from Mississippi. It's not as bad as he's saying it is. I love it here. Ya, there's poverty, but that's everywhere you go. People are friendly and there's job opportunities cropping up by the day.
A point that irritates me. Delaware is not the first State. It was the first to ratify the Constitution, but the Constitution did not come into effect until 9 States had ratified it. Therefore, Delaware is in a 9-way tie for first.
James has all the wrong stereotypes about the South: 1. They're not all farmers. The Midwest actually has more farmers and farmland (Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, etc. 2. Cowboys are more related to "Western" states like Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. Texas is weird in that it's half Western and half Southern. 3. Ranches. I'm taking this reference from another video where he thought Tennessee was full of ranches even though it's very mountainous and forested. The Great Plains area like Kansas, Nebraska, and of course parts of Texas are known for ranches.
As far as ol west goes Tombstone, Arizona...you can ride in an old stagecoach, visit boothill, see recreations of the shootout at the OK corral visit an old brothel, stay the night in a haunted hotel, or see several recreated shootouts on main street. But you have to get an early start as the ok corral and the old brothel ( the Crystal Palace) are usually closed by 11 am.
Something major they missed about Kentucky: The Bourbon! This is the birthplace of Bourbon... and much like Champagne, you aren't making REAL Bourbon unless you're making it in Kentucky. The Bourbon Trail will take you through some beautiful backcountry (with sometimes questionable roads, depending on which distillery you're visiting).
This narrator throws a lot of shade, especially on the poverty issue. I have traveled to many places with poverty and I have to tell you that they were some of the places where I have received the warmest welcome. The people living in those areas may not have much but they are so willing to share what they have with you. I have never gone without being offered a meal, a ride, and good conversation. This guy needs to open his mind a wee bit...or a good bit. Please research these places on your own. I would hate for you to come to the States and miss out on some beautiful people and beautiful places because someone skewed your perception of a place. My two cents, sitting here in "political upheaval" in Georgia while I scratch my head pondering what the hell was he talking about. I, obviously, take exception.
I am from N.E. (Massachusetts) I have traveled to most states and lived in a few...There are pro's and con's in all...that being said I love my Country and would be glad to live in any state!
Rhode Island is called the Ocean State because there's more miles of coastline than there are square miles in the state. In fact at low tide the size of the state increases by almost 3%
19:04 the Mississippi River starts up here in northern Minnesota. Here's how I learned how to spell Mississippi as a kid - this might help you spell it. M - I - crooked letter - crooked letter - I - crooked letter - crooked letter - I - humpback - humpback - I 😉
Pennsylvania's also the home of the Hershey's candy company. Milton Hershey the founder of Hershey's candy actually created a town in Pennsylvania called Hershey Pennsylvania. The Hershey candy company at one point actually supplied Mars candy with chocolate to make their products with. If you go to Hershey Pennsylvania you will smell chocolate.
The length of this video means that each state gets about 30 seconds. Of course this information is a gross over-simplification, and doesn't do most states justice. Every state is beautiful in places, and every state has advantages. The country is gorgeous and thrilling, but naturally I love my home city of St. Louis, Missouri. It is naturally beautiful, just full of trees and greenery, and has great universities and sports teams. Treat yourself to a view of the St. Louis Riverfront--complete with the Arch.
Augusta is in Georgia. Augusta is the Capital of Maine. Maine has 2 seasons, the 4th of July and winter. Not much time for golf in Maine but you can't get there from here.
A lot of college and professional sports teams are named because of where they play. For example the San Francisco 49'ers are named for the 1849 gold rush that made San Francisco a major city. The Minnesota Twins baseball team is named after the TWIN cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. The Philadelphia Eagles were named after the national bird because that's where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Philadelphia 76'ers basketball team was named after the year 1776, the year America declared its independence.
I thought it was in the order of the song from Animaniacs since the op mentioned nifty fifty plus the first few states match that order Alabama and Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, etc

Yea, I lived across the street from the Masters. A 5 minute commute to work took an hour that week.

There's several words that I remember learning to spell in either cheers, nursery type rhymes, songs, etc. When I was in 10th grade, we had the various spellings of principal/principle in English class - the Principal Val Melgeorge was a family friend (my dad was a teacher) & I worked in the principal's office all throughout highschool, so I still remember that the school principal is spelled this way because "Val is my pal" 🙂
I am a resident from Wisconsin, Milwaukee. My favorite City and State of course. We are neighbors to Chicago, Illinois which I also love.
I’m from Mississippi. I love it here. Mississippi has a lot of stereotypes that it can’t shake. It is not as prejudiced or as ignorant as people and tv makes us out to be. We have some of the nicest, warmest people you will ever meet. We are home to some of the greatest music ever heard. We are the home of rock and blues music and many great authors. Just avoid the big cities, they have the most crime.
Plus ya got former football players that have hundreds of millions of dollars of their own money, that steal from the welfare program.
Bret Favre
Yes Mississippi Delta blues,I always have a romanticized image of Mississippi I don’t associate it with anything negative. I’ve never been there but that’s how I think of it
New York and New Jersey border each other. The tall building in the background at 21:54 is the Empire State Building in NYC. Yes, you can see NYC from parts of New Jersey.
Augusta, Georgia. Not Maine but in Georgia.
Congrats on 150k subs!!
I'm from Wisconsin. I moved away (to Arkansas and Arizona), but came back home as soon as I could. Wisconsin has a reputation for being only farmland, but we are so much more than that (though our cheese is the best in the country). Honestly, Door Country is probably one of the most beautiful places in Wisconsin, Especially in Autumn.
I’d love to live there, but I can’t handle those cold winters. It’s bad enough here in southeast ohio. However, Wisconsin is beautiful.
I've got family in Green Bay. I've been there in both summers and winters, and each of the times I went it was gorgeous. I'm born & raised in L.A., so definitely a culture shock. Slower pace, which I didn't mind!
Michigan is one of the most beautiful states which most people don’t realize, so it’s a nice hidden gem for us who live here 😊
The buildings you were commenting on in New Jersey were in fact in Manhattan, NY, NY. Jersey City, NJ is just across the Hudson River from NYC. The northern parts of New Jersey are basically a part of the NYC metro area, like western Connecticut. Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty park are essentially in New Jersey
Augusta, Georgia is where the Masters is held.
22:10 those skyscrapers you pointed out are in NYC
I live near Wyoming and drive through there quite frequently due to a variety of reason (Family multiple times a year, and Yellowstone at least once a year) and depending on when you go it can be quite nice or not quite nice to drive through it. There is a window during late spring/early summer where the grasses are super green and is nice to drive through, but for good portions of the year you just drive through dead brown endless grass and shrubs. That being said there is a lot of cool areas that break the norm of that. There's a pleasant little canyon in the middle of the state, some mountains in the SE, and then there's all the mountains to the NW (Yellowstone area) and that area seems to be very green for a good portion of the spring and summer, and is, obviously, wonderful.
I guess if you’re from a big metropolitan area, Iowa would be boring. But I’m a native, and I can assure you that there’s plenty to enjoy here. Des Moines has so many good restaurants, there’s a small amusement park in Altoona, which is nestled up against the north east corner of Des Moines. Plus there are recreational areas and so many other good restaurants spread out over the state it’s ridiculous. Granted, you might have to look a little harder, or drive a little farther, but there’s no shortage of things to do here😊
Missouri has some really cool historical places to visit. Cities where the Oregon Trail began, the headquarters of the Pony Express, Hannibal where the Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books were based and where Mark Twain is from, Laura Ingles Wilder's house, Wilson's Creek Battlefield from the Civil War. Lots of things to do, like going to Branson for all the shows and concerts and activites, Lake of the Ozarks for the river and nice lodgings (be careful, because it can be a dangerous area when everyone is drunk and using boats...). My only advice is avoid the bootheel area and Springfield. Pretty dangerous areas.
The Masters golf tournament is held in Augusta, Georgia
I have lived in Oklahoma all my life and it is beautiful! Lovely lakes, mountains, forests, and great people!❤
Yup, my uncle from denver who sees some of the most beautiful mountains daily was in awe of how beautiful oklahoma was when he visited. I was young so I thought it was odd but as I've gotten older, I start to see the beauty in it more
Oklahoma really is beautiful. I've been through it on my way out west and it's exactly what you think of when you hear the word "prairie" and I love the wide open space.....not a fan of the tornadoes though.
Oklahoma has a major Native American history and is home to a lot of tribes! You should check out the history .
As a resident of Mississippi, I can say it isn't as bad as people tend to think it is. The state has just been trapped in a never ending cycle of poverty that has terrorized the state for decades. Mississippi has a very poor education system, which leads to low test scores which leads to a very low number of jobs and industry being brought into the state, which leads to poor funding for the school system, which leads to lower test grades. Other than that, I would say that the citizens of Mississippi are some of the kindest people you will meet in America, the state is known as the hospitality state.
I live in Ohio and he didn't mention that we have The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I don't really know why he left out Nashville, Tennessee because that's where you go if you want to make it big in country music. Ohio is also known for being The Birthplace of Aviation. The Wright brothers were born here. Actually, only one was, Orville. During WW2, people came from out of state to get work in the rubber factories making tires and we, also, had Government jobs manufacturing parts for war planes. Akron used to be known as "the rubber capital of the world". Ohio has more than what the guy was making it out to be. A lot of the reason people have been moving out is because the rubber companies have closed and being sent overseas. Cleveland had Iron factories which produced Iron and Iron products. Those jobs have been outsourced, too. When jobs leave, so do people.
Yeah being from Ohio and hearing him say "it has been in the decline for the past 30 years" as he only focused on the negatives while not also over exaggerating them was not a good sign
@@Browncoatful The video also focused on population of the city itself and not taking into account the surrounding suburbs.
They also have the National Air Force Museum
Fun fact - the actress who played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz (Judy Garland) lived about 60 miles from my house here in Northeastern Minnesota. I found her & her family when I was researching my son's family tree - Judy Garland is my son's long lost cousin! Both of his paternal grandparents grew up in the Grand Rapids area where Judy's family lived.
Golf:The Masters is played in Augusta, Georgia
Also - New York is BEAUTIFUL outside of New York City. There is some GORGEOUS landscape in New York - very lush and gently mountainous.
That guy shit all over the State of Ohio. He's totally wrong. Cleveland is not a 'depressing place', it's a wonderful place, right on Lake Erie, and between the cities he mentioned, Columbus is the last on the list as far as I'm concerned. In any case, Ohio, we gave light and flight to the world.
Shout out to Pennsylvania! I live 14 miles out side of Pittsburgh, and out of the big cities, ours is pretty nice! Great video!
The Masters Golf Tournament is played in Augusta Georgia.
Hello from North Dakota. It's a balmy 8 degrees Fahrenheit here right now (-3 wind chill) . Pretty nice day because the wind's only 22 mph.
One thing I have noticed with the creator whose video you reacted to is that he seems to value more urban and suburban experiences over rural experiences when describing and ranking States. I am from Louisiana but have spent time in a lot of U.S. states. Most of the ones that this guy says to avoid or says are boring are my favorites. It all depends on what you value. If you want to be within a short drive of the closest shopping and restaurants, his lists are ok. If you value a more rural experience, not so much.
I have driven across Wyoming over a thousand times during my career. I can tell you that it’s very beautiful and in my opinion underrated.
I drove across it once. It was at night and I know I didn't miss anything.
@@heywoodjablowme8120 No, you didn't miss a thing 😂
I live in Huntsville Alabama and it is a wonderful place to live. More literal rocket scientists per capita then any other place in the world. Very high tech city
As a Floridian with parents from Cleveland and Detroit, I still have a connection to those states, which I think is awesome. I loved going to Cleveland in the summer and the carride through the smokies is something I'll never forget.
It's Augusta,Maine however the golf tournament is in Augusta, Georgia and Florida has St. Augustine
Augusta golf tourney is in Georgia.
I love his casual “southern states are racist”.. I’m guessing he’s not from the south.
There is a rich history associated with states’ identities. Indiana is called the Hoosier state because of a common greeting by early settlers there. When they heard a knock on the cabin door they would say “Who’s here?” The people became associated with this phrase and became referred to as Hoosiers.
You should take a look at why states are referred to by these unique identities. Tennessee for example is called the Volunteer state because of its residents’ over representation in the military. Oklahoma is the Sooner State, North Carolina is the Tarheel state. And so on…
do you think Indianna 𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙨 the response "who's there" when someone knocks on their door? I can't think of one place in the English speaking world that doesn't say this.
I'm from Mississippi.
It's not as bad as he's saying it is. I love it here. Ya, there's poverty, but that's everywhere you go.
People are friendly and there's job opportunities cropping up by the day.
The Master's Tournament is held in Augusta, Georgia
Every state has something beautiful to check out.
A point that irritates me. Delaware is not the first State. It was the first to ratify the Constitution, but the Constitution did not come into effect until 9 States had ratified it. Therefore, Delaware is in a 9-way tie for first.
11:30 she’s right, Indiana has a lot of violence. Fort Wayne and Indianapolis
The Masters golf tournament is held in Augusta, Georgia (GA), not Maine (ME).
No the Masters is in Agusta Georgia

We were taught an easy way to spell Mississippi. MI-SS-I-SS-I PP-I
James has all the wrong stereotypes about the South:
1. They're not all farmers. The Midwest actually has more farmers and farmland (Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, etc.
2. Cowboys are more related to "Western" states like Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. Texas is weird in that it's half Western and half Southern.
3. Ranches. I'm taking this reference from another video where he thought Tennessee was full of ranches even though it's very mountainous and forested. The Great Plains area like Kansas, Nebraska, and of course parts of Texas are known for ranches.
As far as ol west goes Tombstone, Arizona...you can ride in an old stagecoach, visit boothill, see recreations of the shootout at the OK corral visit an old brothel, stay the night in a haunted hotel, or see several recreated shootouts on main street. But you have to get an early start as the ok corral and the old brothel ( the Crystal Palace) are usually closed by 11 am.
Something major they missed about Kentucky: The Bourbon! This is the birthplace of Bourbon... and much like Champagne, you aren't making REAL Bourbon unless you're making it in Kentucky. The Bourbon Trail will take you through some beautiful backcountry (with sometimes questionable roads, depending on which distillery you're visiting).
This narrator throws a lot of shade, especially on the poverty issue. I have traveled to many places with poverty and I have to tell you that they were some of the places where I have received the warmest welcome. The people living in those areas may not have much but they are so willing to share what they have with you. I have never gone without being offered a meal, a ride, and good conversation. This guy needs to open his mind a wee bit...or a good bit. Please research these places on your own. I would hate for you to come to the States and miss out on some beautiful people and beautiful places because someone skewed your perception of a place. My two cents, sitting here in "political upheaval" in Georgia while I scratch my head pondering what the hell was he talking about. I, obviously, take exception.
I'm from Missouri but I live at the very bottom of the bootheal. It's on the border of Arkansas. It's a very small town population of 500 people
Wow he's really got his opinions, he showed or told, nothing about Washington State, which is actually a gorgeous state.
I am from Wilmington, NC
I am from N.E. (Massachusetts) I have traveled to most states and lived in a few...There are pro's and con's in all...that being said I love my Country and would be glad to live in any state!
Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Rhode Island is called the Ocean State because there's more miles of coastline than there are square miles in the state. In fact at low tide the size of the state increases by almost 3%
Indianapolis, my home town, is home to the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. The Indy 500 is the single largest attended sporting event in the world.
That is New York City you saw in the New Jersey piece. It's right across the river from Jersey City, New Jersey.
19:04 the Mississippi River starts up here in northern Minnesota. Here's how I learned how to spell Mississippi as a kid - this might help you spell it.
M - I - crooked letter - crooked letter - I - crooked letter - crooked letter - I - humpback - humpback - I 😉
Good question. The Masters is in Augusta, Georgia. Not Augusta, Maine.
Pennsylvania's also the home of the Hershey's candy company. Milton Hershey the founder of Hershey's candy actually created a town in Pennsylvania called Hershey Pennsylvania. The Hershey candy company at one point actually supplied Mars candy with chocolate to make their products with. If you go to Hershey Pennsylvania you will smell chocolate.
The master's golf course is in Agusta Georgia
The length of this video means that each state gets about 30 seconds. Of course this information is a gross over-simplification, and doesn't do most states justice. Every state is beautiful in places, and every state has advantages. The country is gorgeous and thrilling, but naturally I love my home city of St. Louis, Missouri. It is naturally beautiful, just full of trees and greenery, and has great universities and sports teams. Treat yourself to a view of the St. Louis Riverfront--complete with the Arch.
Augusta is in Georgia. Augusta is the Capital of Maine. Maine has 2 seasons, the 4th of July and winter. Not much time for golf in Maine but you can't get there from here.
A lot of college and professional sports teams are named because of where they play. For example the San Francisco 49'ers are named for the 1849 gold rush that made San Francisco a major city. The Minnesota Twins baseball team is named after the TWIN cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. The Philadelphia Eagles were named after the national bird because that's where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Philadelphia 76'ers basketball team was named after the year 1776, the year America declared its independence.
the buiding in the new jersey section are new york city, they are right next to each other
Alphabetical Order
Yeah. The numbers are just arbitrary
I thought it was in the order of the song from Animaniacs since the op mentioned nifty fifty plus the first few states match that order Alabama and Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, etc
