California - not because of movies but tv shows

Don't believe the hype, we're awesome!

I'd never go to Kansas. I don't like my house spinning around in the air then falling on top of people, witch or not. This goes for whatever state Twister was set in as well.

I'm not afraid of any state. I'd love to visit all of them eventually. Besides, I figure I've already been to Kentucky - one place that was never on the top of my list - since my beau has family there, and I thought it had many beautiful parts.

Though Into the Wild may have made Alaska look scary, that is one state that everyone should visit before they die. Just don't camp out in a wildlife reserve.

It didn't keep me out of the state, but I tend to think that the movie "Teen Wolf" is an accurate depiction of high school life in the small Nebraska towns where many of my college friends were from...you know, where the really short, really hairy kid can manage to become the coolest person in school. You'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise.

AND a star basketball player!

Based on that horrible movie Garden State, i would not want to go to NJ... yet i live in NJ and in the town in which Garden State was filmed!

I liked that movie a lot.

Arizona is not high on my list. Not because a movie but rather a book, Almanac of the Dead.

The banjo player was on TMZ last week all grown up. The TMZ guy said he looked kind of normal.

Oklahoma.

-- you're okay here as long as you don't live in a trailer.

or Moore.

Alright. I go to OK once a year (Thanksgiving) to see family. As long as I'm never there during serious weather...

Wisconsin.

I was waiting for this one to come up, but because of zombies? :) haha

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs: all influenced by the story of Ed Gein from Plainfield, Wisconsin.

There was a book written called Zombie based on the killings of Jeffrey Dahmer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

But then we have all the good reasons too, like That 70's Show, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Step by Step, and The Young and the Restless.

Texas because there are no cars, only horses. There seems to be always some type of shoot out or something, a new sheriff is in town every couple of weeks, and you're required a heavy long duster jacket, even in the middle of summer.

Don't forget our armadillos and cacti.

Poor NJ!

I moved to the state just over 2 years ago, and I love it. Beautiful towns, the Jersey Shore (which is gorgeous, and nothing like the show!), mountains, close to NYC.. I could go on and on.

But yes.. avoid the turnpike!

The states I'd put on the bottom of my list to visit: Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Wisconsin
