Ask outsiders and the first thing they’ll tell you is NYC with its towering skyscrapers and busy intersections full of yellow taxis and well dressed people.

Not even. But you can’t blame them.

The description is 1/2 yuppie, 1/2 hillbilly, and Stephen King. Have you painted a picture yet?

So that explains all those creepy novels…

Trees and weed and water and rain and coffee was how one user chose to describe this state.

Any of those combinations would work over a weekend, honestly.

Sunny Arizona was described to be beige. Beige in every way possible.

We were actually waiting for the word “sunburnt”, but that works.

Well it is a popular tourist destination so your money is more than welcome. You as a tourist though, not always.

If America could be summed up in one state, it would be Texas.

The most ‘Murica of them all, apparently.

Someone said that it’s too cold to be sober in this state so you know what that means.

Head on to another state.

A Redditor said, “We may be 49th in everything, but thank God for Mississippi.”

It’s a short drive so there’s a start.

Locals claim they can’t actually see Russia from their backyards.

Maybe that’s why everyone goes the long way around instead of crossing by boat..

The locals are very proud of the fact that whatever good stuff a certain state has, they surely have one that’s better.

It is the land of stars after all.

Well it was a big F-bomb directed towards Texas for some reason.

Can’t we have peace?

The state is “slowly joining civilization” says a Redditor, but who knows if that’s a good thing.

Hey, perhaps the old ways are what this civilization needs now.

Here’s one of the more accurate ones. They say the truth hurts but…

The state is described as a humid place filled with tourists, old people, and rednecks.

Here’s the state where rednecks and northerners collide according to a Reddit user.

Sounds like a battle scene in Game of Thrones or something.

Cold in the winter, warm in the summer, and it’s pop not soda.

Glad we got that out of the way.

A local says, “New Orleans is a fun place full of good people, Cajun country is filled with charm, and we’re sorry about the rest.”

Hey, people flock to your place to party and everything so it can’t be that bad. Can it?

A very frustrated local says everything is sh*tty over there, and perhaps he’s right.

Or maybe not. It’s all about perspective.

Oh yes. The state of “legal gambling, legal prostitution, area 51, 24/7 liquor stores.”

Maybe the aliens really were on to something. Maybe they place bets on us humans too.

No one likes traffic regardless of where they are in the world, but in the state of New Jersey?

Hope you like it, says a local.

An irate Idahoan says they’re not Iowa, meaning many others have mistaken them for being locals of Iowa.

They’re really far from each other though, so what gives?

Where the western and eastern cities hate each other, while the middle part are Amish folk and farms.

Those guys are pretty peaceful so there’s a balance.

They have horses, bourbon, and state parks so they’re not as bad as people think.

And that’s according to a local who is very proud of the state.

Where it is acceptable to put Old Bay seasoning on anything that’s on the table.

How that comes out to taste is entirely up to you and the locals.

So if you visit, people will tell you they’re from Chicago when they grew up in the suburbs.

But then again who’s going to know and spend time investigating.

Nothing much to see here since it’s the same as South Dakota says a resident.

You have to wonder what locals have to say since each state boasts of pretty decent land area.

But for Delaware? “It’s fine.”

The state is the poor man’s Massachusetts according to the entry on Reddit.

So if you’re on a budget then go for a visit.

There’s corn and football, and that’s all they need says the Redditor.

At least serve the corn with a steak or something.

The state of Oregon is good at recycling, as claimed by a proud resident.

You can make money by helping recycle in the state you know.

Mormons and snowboarding are the two aspects the state is known for.

And to be fair, that’s pretty easy to see.

This landlocked state in the midwest is very flat and really windy, according to the person who submitted a description.

At least there’s a lot of wind. And flat means easy driving. Does it?

Where the rest of America “doesn’t know sh*t about us.”

Sounds like a very bitter description but then again they’re not always the center of attention.

Join the many tourists who visit the state to “ski and gawk at the scenery and buy maple syrup.”

Might be the best pancakes you’ll have in a long time.

All people need to know is that the state of Iowa exists.

Not sure if that’s meant to make them mysterious or they’re just lazy to provide a description.

Where people from California and Florida move to, perhaps because of the cooler climate.

Not a fact some locals like, but it is what it is.

So locals apparently consider themselves poor and they see “pain” as a flavor.

Donations for the people of New Mexico, anyone?

Go as far as you can within the state if you want to look really rich.

And you know what? They’re right.

While a local says it’s great to be really close to Boston and NYC, the truth is they rarely leave home.

And when you see photos of the state, why would they?

“Too far north to have mild winters, too far south to have mild summers.”

You’re either cold, or hot, and there’s no in between.

Should you find yourself over there, make sure you don’t say anything bad about coal.

Locals love their coal, they say.

This is where they’ll take your money and destroy your cars with the quality of their roads.

A lot of angst there so bring heavy duty SUVs.

This is the land of sweet tea, rednecks, and “Hey! We seceded from the Union first!”

And they are very proud of that fact.

Now if you’re the lazy type, then this is the state where you can wear pajamas everyday.

Anywhere. All the time.

It’s not just about the peaches in the state of Georgia you know.

They have waffle house and Asians. Diversity. Food!

You will see beautiful landscape in all of the 4 seasons, but the state is full of “f*cking a**holes.”

That sounds like a very angry local who doesn’t like his neighbors.

A local only had a few words of advice for those planning to visit and stay.

“Get the hell out while you still can!”

But how come? What’s wrong with the place?

A resident claims that the state holds the record for the fastest temperature change.

Many others would probably agree to be honest.

“Go Vols and go look at that mountain.”

Support the football team and perhaps the locals will treat you like one of their own.

Well if you don’t mind the smell and prioritize your hungry tummy, then you’ll love the fact that they have LOTS of chickens.

Don’t forget to cluck in when you get there.
