[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from a fly over state and always bond with other fly over state transplants in making fun of our states and hometowns. The blah food, no art or culture, everything football or baseball, bad hair, obesity, constantly glued to TVs, regressive views and low education. As a GenX, the difference between fly over states and a large coastal city was enormous. The gap may not be as bad now with more immigrant communities and younger people moving into cities in some fly over places.

Some areas are becoming much more interesting like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. If you changed the culture, states like Tennessee, and Kentucky have some really nice landscapes. Ohio and Indiana are mostly armpits. I don’t know how you do anything with Kansas, Nebraska or 
Iowa. Missouri and Arkansas will never dig out of poverty and meth addiction.

When did you move? Do you never go back? Many of the places you mention have been diverse for decades. Minnesota as example took in refugees from Vietnam and Hmong in the 70s and many more since then. Your average St Paul area Costco is much more diverse than one on Long Island NY. [/quote]
