To me, it seems like these six states receive so much bad press about their supposed backwardness, intelligence quotas, intolerance, etc. (What is interesting is that the same people who proudly boast their intellectual independence are the same ones who vividly and unabashedly disrespect the South and Midwest.
Each state has its advantages and disadvantages.
As for me...
Best:
1. Tennessee. Thriving job market, breathtaking beauty (especially the Smokies,) BBQ, live music, Nashville and Memphis are cool cities.
2. S. Carolina. Nice people, laid back, you have beaches in the east and mountains in the upcountry.
Least favs:
1. West Virginia: while not all of it is backwards, I'll admit it is generally about 15 years behind the times. It creeps me out at night. The largest city in the state has fewer than 55,000 people.
2. Kentucky. People there are rude, some small towns are very clannish. Folks do actually sit on their porches with shotguns--no lie. Not very progressive.
