It’s got to be Iowa.
Idaho has potatoes.
North Dakota has Fargo. (Doesn’t it? I could be wrong. I’m not very good with geography.)
Missouri has an arch.
Kansas has Dorothy and Toto.
Delaware is where every corporation is.
Wisconsin has Brett Favre. (And Qadgop. And BoyoJim. And Otto.)
What’s Iowa got? Nothin!
You had me at “Anheuser Busch” 
Their residents get to meet every presidential candidate personally and they decide the nominees. Pretty lucky folks, those Iowans.
I’ve been to all 50, and I’d say North Dakota. Found very little of interest to do there, and you never hear about it in the news. Nicest scenery is badlands, and their neighbors to the south do that better anyway.
If not for that “first Presidential caucus” thing, Iowa would get my vote, but that puts it in the news every four years. Not so for North Dakota.
Oh, I don’t know about that .
Before I would have never EVER thought about Indiana for any reason. After living in chicago though, everytime I drove anywhere the first thing that comes to my mind is “get gas now so you don’t have to stop in Gary and potentially get stabbed in the face”
I just choked on my lunch.
I just took a compass to the big map I have on the wall here. I was curious as to how far you could be from NYC and still be closer than someone who lives in NY State:
To the west, it’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
To the north, it’s Augusta, Maine.
To the south, it’s Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
Consider me educated. I always knew enough not to consider someone from New York as automatically being from NYC, but I really never noticed just how fricking big NY State is, nor how far west it stretched.
Delaware might be insignificant, but I never forget it. I usually forget a random midwest state, never the same one from one memory-check to the next. Usually Nebraska, Indiana, or Illinois.
Some coworkers and I were working on a word-find puzzle with the 50 states. The list was not displayed, you had to remember the names, then find them. We had 49. I took all of us a few minutes to remember the last state, with some people taking even longer and still needed a clue. I remembered second after a short brain-racking.
It was Utah. There was a list of every state we’d gotten already but we had a collective brain fart over Utah.
All those vowel states: Idaho, Iowa, Ohio. My brother lives in one but I can never remember which one…
I’m not from there, but I used to live there and we’ve ‘met’ in Cafe threads, does that count?
My vote goes to Arkansas. I know I’ve driven through it, but I can’t remember a thing about it.
Indiana has more vowels – so many that you just overlooked it 
People still think WV is part of VA even after us being a separate state for well over 120 years. What do we have? Glad you asked:
And that’s about all I can think of right now.
Yep, it surprises everyone. I grew up in Buffalo, I was in 8th grade before I went to NYC, and we weren’t poor either. The nearest “major” city is Toronto (~2hours), that’s where you would go for weekend trips, non-stop international flights, etc. Culturally upstate is very distinct from NYC. The capital region (around Albany) is closer in geography and spirit to New England, the Vermont boarder is only about an hour away. Buffalo is a broad-shoulders steel town, culturally more similar to Chicago than NYC. Distance wise, New York is a 7-8 hour drive, Chicago is 8-10 hours. I tell people around here that Chicago is like Buffalo but with jobs.
I vote Delaware. From what I remember of driving to Seattle and back, the Great Western States are expansive and desolate, but not forgettable. I stopped in Wilmington once while driving to DC, just to see what it was like. All I remember is using the bathroom at the library.
Yeah, but in “Indiana” the vowels are more nicely balanced with the constanants.
Vowel/Constant ratio:
Indiana - 4/3
Iowa - 3/1
Idaho - 3/2
Ohio - 3/1
Utah’s easy 'cause it’s got Mormons and Hawaii is off in the ocean so it doesn’t count. I don’t think any other states have vowel/constant ratios that exceed 1.5.
George Brett was born there too, though I believe he was raised in California.
Howdy, please to meet you.
Seriously, Wyoming is a lot of things, but if you visit, you won’t forget it (unless you just travel I-80, which should be a level of hell). We have the Tetons, Yellowstone, part of the Black Hills, The Wind Rivers, etc.
Sorry, I’m just a bit biased.
When I was in college in Iowa, there was a T-shirt around.
Univerisity of Iowa,
Ohio City, Idaho.
With, of course, a picture of a potato.
The U of I is in Iowa City, Iowa, but no one could ever get them straight.
Idaho is known for it’s potatos. Iowa grows corn, pigs, and a bunch of the nicest people I know.
I’ve also heard people from Iowa explain to foriegners where Iowa is by calling it a suburb of Chicago.
So while I love it, Ida-ohi-wa has my vote.
I would agree and looking over this thread, it looks like Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachussetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee have all been overlooked except in posts where people are listing all or most of the states.
I don’t eat lobster.
The Bush vacation compound could be in the middle of the ocean for all I care.
Rocky Beaches? What fun are those? I live in a state with wide sandy beaches, you can even drive on them. Plus the sun goes down in the right direction.
LL Bean? We have REI.
Acadia? Mt Rainier NP, Olympic NP, North Cascades NP.
Islands? Puget sound as over 400 of them.
I do know something about Maine!!! It is the only state name with one syllable.
