Yeah, I knew that was going to be the Gaffney peach butt even before I hovered over the link.
Georgia: peanuts.
But also, Georgia: Atlanta and … the rest of the state.
So did I!! I have driven past that thing hundreds of times.
And yes, you are correct about Georgia. Atlanta is a little dot of blue surrounded by a whole lot of red. If you leave the downtown area, you can drive in any direction, and within an hour you will have gone back in time about 50 years.
Which is why I live 5 miles from where I work downtown. 
Nebraska: Thousands of acres of corn fields, and a lot of absurdly friendly people.

Pretty much. Most of its politicians are Republicans.
I would have gone with lobster.
I was born and raised in Atlanta. I remember when Atlanta was just a big town instead of a massive, sprawling metropolis. My sister and I could walk home from school at ages 7 and 5 in Little Five Points. You couldn’t do that today, sadly.
Anyway, I live midway between Atlanta and Athens now. My town is small, but we aren’t 50 years in the past. I know what you mean, though. Sometimes it’s nice to remember how things used to be.
To the OP: You are welcome at my table any time. I’ll make you a dinner you won’t soon forget.
Stereotypes about Wisconsin (my home state): round friendly people, with a great love of cheese, beer, brandy, football, and outdoor sports.
North Dakota is a different state than South Dakota. Same for North Carolina and South Carolina. I’ve met many an educated, well-traveled European who didn’t know this.
Illinois is a suburb of Chicago. Indiana and Wisconsin are also suburbs of Chicago. So is Canada.
At least, that’s the way we look at it here in the Windy City!
I just went through all the states, and named off the ones I could think of stereotypes for. I assume actual New Englanders will have stuff about people in New England. But, then again, I live next to Missouri and couldn’t think of anything. And I couldn’t think of how to describe Oklahomans.
Alabama: southern bumpkins, worst ranked on anything important.
Alaska: freaks who like the cold and wilderness
Arizona: Dangerous place for Latinos
Arkansas: Hillbilly bumpkins, shoeless, married their own sisters
California: crazy liberals
Colorado:
Connecticut:
Delaware:
Florida: The U.S.'s armpit. Everyone there is old and stupid.
Georgia: the more romantic Southern state.
Hawaii: backwards islanders, gorgeous place, “no worries” lifestyle
Idaho:
Illinois: mostly Chicagoans
Indiana: hoosiers, which is hard to describe
Iowa: very white, corn farming state
Kansas:
Kentucky: more genteel southerners (?)
Louisiana: very Cajun and French
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota: Fargo
Mississippi: Alabama-lite
Missouri:
Montana:
Nebraska:
Nevada: Hookers and blow
New Hampshire
New Jersey: tough as nails, overcompensating, nasty place to live
New Mexico: What do you mean it’s a state?
New York: Fast talking city slickers who think they’re better than everyone else
North Carolina:
North Dakota: No one actually lives there.
Ohio:
Oklahoma:
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina: still wants to leave the country
South Dakota
Tennessee: country music utopia
Texas: they’re a whole other country
Utah: Mormons
Vermont
Virginia:
Washington: lots of rain
West Virginia: Arkansas-lite
Wisconsin
Wyoming: Mostly empty.
I have been to Kansas City, MO a few times and I like it. However, I always wonder why they kept that name. I mean, it’s a place named after another state than where it resides. I am not sure there is any other city like that(?).
California has a long history with imagery. When one considers how diverse it truly is, it would be difficult to come up with one, or even a dozen images or stereotypes of the state.
North Coast: Potheads and loggers
NorCal: Hippies, High Tech and Wine
Central Valley: Oklahoma
SoCal (LA area): Entourage
San Diego: Totally chill, dude!
Maybe not Little Five Points, since that particular area has commercialized to a large degree, but there are still many, many neighborhoods where I see kids walking home from school or playing, and no one thinks anything of it.
Let me be clear, I wasn’t using the “50 years” comment is an nostalgic way, I meant it as a negative.
I know. And you are welcome at my table any time as well.
Or sugar:
We do make a fine key lime pie down here.
San Diego: NAVY!!!
Maine - toothless redneck, standing a lobster boat in a yellow rain slicker saying, “Ayuh … ya cain’t get theah from heah.”
Ever hear of virginia City?
