AveryGamerDude 4,640 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 I saw somepony make a thread about the "weirdest quirks of your state", so I figured I'd make a similar thread about facts about your home state that you like. I'll start. My home state is Arkansas. Some facts about it that I think are pretty sweet is that Arkansas has the most dog owners per capita of any state, (Wasn't surprised by this. Pretty much everyone in my family owns or has owned a dog at some point. Myself included. ) and it's the only state in the country that has an active diamond mine. (Though this I think is common knowledge. ) How about you? What are some cool things about YOUR home state? 2 I HAVE MORPHED 5 EXODIA, SETO KAIBA!! (Thanks to Emerald Heart for the banner!)

Iris Flower 254 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Our markets are the BEST here in WA. We have so much to offer locally and worldwide. Though we prefer local because corporate companies are pretty evil. We offer a lot of fruit, art, candy and crafts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Sunsets 2,107 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 (edited) Virginia is really pretty (the western half, at least. I'm on the coast for college rn and it's so flat and boring here). There are about ten different well-known hiking trails within an hour's drive of my home. I'm too lazy to actually go hiking, but it's still cool. Also, there's a dead guy on our state flag.

Anneal 2,197 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 California is incredibly huge and diverse in climate and demographics that it’s rather difficult to focus on simply one cool thing about it. We have sequoias, redwood forests, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Death Valley (the hottest place in North America), and Mount Shasta. Like the rest of the West Coast, it’s a hiker’s paradise. Also, California has plenty of vineyards, historical landmarks, cuisine, tech companies, movie star drama, and weed-smoking hipsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyPie 261 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 I get to see some mountains as we drive by, including Mt. Rainier. But I barely go out so it's a rare treat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGqB-NX9rzU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim&Venöm 19,114 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Wisconsin is home to Green Bay, the smallest city to have an NFL team as well as the only team to be publicly owned. The Packers won the first two Super bowls, one of them being the infamous ice bowl. South east WI is home to the kettle moraine, a unique collections of forests, plants, animals and soil carved out by glaciers found no where else in the world. Way north Wisconsin has it's own Finnish enclave. Scenes for the Tom Cruise movie Knight and Day were filmed in Milwaukee, though for some reason they try to pass it off as Boston. Milwaukee hosts Ponyville Ciderfest, one of the best MLP conventions going. My town survived getting hit by an EF-2 tornado. And during the 1980s, pro-wrestlers Ken Patera and Masa Saito tossed a bolder through a McDonald's Window and got in a fight with the Waukesha police department.

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,621 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 (edited) Indiana has a lot of meth and a lot of brain-dead morons. Did you all know that some time back here in Indiana, a kid ate a thing of meth thinking it was some kind of treat and his dad didn't call for help because he was afraid to be busted for meth and the kid died. That is Indiana quality right there. You can't get that shit anywhere else. Edited February 21, 2019 by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklingSquirrels 21,345 February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 Not a “state”, but... DC is a great place to learn. Tons of museums, lots of festivals and events. Also beautiful historic architecture, plenty of parks, good public transit, an interesting mix of people from around the world. The place where important things happen!

Indiana helped make American car racing a thing, and it's part of the "Triple Crown" (Le Mans, Indianapolis, and Monaco). They also have New Harmony, which was a weird planned town that some people did back in the 19th century as an utopian experiment. 4 hours ago, SkyPie said: I get to see some mountains as we drive by, including Mt.

The Issaquah Alps and Mount Si are only a stone throw away from Seattle, and it's just as easy to get there by bus as it is by car. If you drive further east, the Yakima and Tri-Cities region are well known for their wine, thanks to the volcanic soil those cities lie on.

It is why I don't vote. Far too outnumbered here for my vote to mean anything. Trust me, I would love to at least take pride in my state since I really can't take any pride in the US as a whole, but even when I try to just have pride in Indiana, that is quickly shot down.

Lucky Bolt 35,064 February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 (edited) To me, the coolest thing about Florida is the fact that it's the birthplace of NASCAR, and while so many other states have so much restricted laws, Florida doesn't. Which, can make things a little crazy here I'm not gonna lie , but it's also a part of what makes living here so great, in my opinion. And then of course there's the beautiful weather and beaches.
