Reputations of States - Some fun maps
As a market researcher, I'll preface this by saying that it's a panel from one of the worst businesses in our industry and so it's not really generalizable, but nonetheless it's kind of fun.
I suspect that there's a bit of a problem in that people may vote for their own states, which probably should be taken out of the data. As such, I figure that bigger states are amplified. I suspect that it wouldn't change the conclusions, though. http://www.businessinsider.com/poll-...-states-2013-8 |

Probably. We used to travel cross country over summer vacation when I was a kid. Kansas is definitely one of the worst. Even the deserts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico are way more intriguing and have much better scenery then Kansas. Flat, no mountains, no nothing Kansas was always one of the worst drives on those trips. Wed take different routes every year but every 3rd year or so you were repeating a previous route and the drive across Kansas always sucked.

I made the drive from St. Louis to L.A. once. Kansas and eastern Colorado were horrific, but after that, it was great. Although much of that was just seeing it for the first time. I think the desert areas in Utah, Nevada and California would get old really damn quick if you had to see them every day.

Tennessee is quietly a mysterious state.

I was through there when I was a kid but I've never driven them myself.
On the trip that I mentioned, we drove down through Utah. The north part of that trip (through SLC) sucked hard. It's basically three hours of billboards and terrible drivers. Once you are out of that metro area, the scenery is amazing but the drivers still suck. |
