Minnesota - that place where all the snowbirds come from. And loons.
West Virginia: Nobody here. We all moved to southern Ohio to find work … then got laid off.
Washington: Half red state. Half “Would you like to try our new grande Caramel Soy Mochachino today?”
Pennsylvania: One really large city, its jealous little brother at the other end of the state, and a whole lot of farmers in between – many of them in buggies.
In a more political context to its relative redness, I’ve heard it described as “Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with Alabama in between.”
New Hampshire: We love tourists. You bring us money. On second thought, just send us the money and stay the hell out of our state. Especially Massholes.
(I’m originally from New Hampshire.)
Illinois–Start at Chicago, a city with everything. Go sixty miles in any direction to find corn (or soybeans). This will last for the rest of the state (and Indiana). If you continue your travels through Iowa you will find rolling hills of corn (and soybeans) instead of flat fields.
