#19 Least Favorite State
Bad news, Texas: you lose the popularity contest. What can you expect, though, after threatening to secede from the Union so often?
#18 Favorite State
After their home states, the majority of Americans picked California as their favorite.
#15 Ugliest Residents
Sorry, Alabama. America thinks your people look... well, special.
#14 Most Beautiful Scenery
Colorado wins the beautiful scenery pageant, and it's clear why.
#13 Worst Scenery
Unless you're really into farms, the state of Kansas is probably not on your vacation list.
#12 Drunkest State
Congratulations go out to Louisiana, America's drunkest state.
#6 Dumbest State
Well, someone has to come last in just about any contest. Of course, this was just an opinion poll. According to the American Human Development Index, Mississippi is actually the third dumbest state. The true winner of this honor goes to West Virginia, followed closely by Arkansas.

(28,581 posts)I remember having friends come to Massachusetts for a visit and were freaked out because everyone was too nice and conversely, I found people alot less friendly then I expected when I visited the south.
Also when visiting a friend in Brooklyn, I went walking around to all the little shops to pick up some things to cook dinner and was shocked at how very friendly everyone was. Almost every shop I walked by had people outside talking to each other and saying hello to me. it was not what I expected from the reputation.

Even the bus drivers.
Quite the culture shock after growing up in Brooklyn. LOL
