haha...there actually has been some real progress in Hartford lately (much of it under since deposed Gov. John Rowland), and some sections aren't that bad.

hopefully the projects/renovations going on will improve the area even more. at least the suburbs (Farmington, West Hartford, Bristol (my home town)) are nice.

I second that. Granted, I haven't been to many state capitals, but Richmond is NASTY.

Harrisburg isn't bad, but have you ever noticed that most people who aren't native Pennsylvanians have never heard of it??? Folks tend to think Philadelphia is the capitol.

I never thought Frankfort should have been the capitol. I always thought Louisville should have been, just b/c its bigger. And Lexington, just b/c its the better than Louisville.

I have to throw in Little Rock, Arkansas. The pep band went there for NCAA SEC Women's Tourny last year. Granted, and this is a huge granted, we were mainly stuck right downtown - but there was nothing. Lots of bar-bee-que restaurants!!! And an Army/Navy Store. But that was it.

Although, it did have the Peabody hotel - and those are awesome!!!!

They have better places to put a capitol.

LOL....you're right. Yes, I have noticed that all the people who don't live in PA think that Philadelphia is the capitol.

Hey now! Cheyenne isn't that bad and it's nice not to have SOOOOO many people in the state. We're selective! But, I do have to agree that Tallahassee is WRONG in so many ways!

Thumbs down

Sorry BetaRulz, Topuka Sucks, live there one year for a life time!

Jefferson City, Mo. The Max State Pen is just down the street from the Capitol, hard to make sure which are the real Bad Guys!:

Like Mongomery for the History, rest no comment.

Nebraska, Lincoln,uh OK, thank god UN is there. Amazing how small the campus is!

Colorado, Denver= no other City big enuff, has to be.

Ill. Springfield= well Linclone Museum is there but was falling down!

Sacramento, Cal. In no where land.

Baton Rouge, La. easy to miss to get to New Orleans, Home Of the King Fischer.

New Mexico, Santa Fe, not in the real world at all.

Utah, Salt Lake, said it all!

Oaklahoma, where is the capitol? LOL! Oh, wow, the City of Oaklahoma. Sooners DA, Crooks and Blackards.

Where else have I not been, Tenn.(oops), ahve been there which city is it?, Ky. Fl. Wy. Penn. N J, N Y, Virgina, W. Virgina, Ohio, S Dakota, and not been to their Capitols.

World Capitols that are Nice, London, Viennia, Budapest, Munich should be one.

As much as I love homey Iowa, I have to vote for Des Moines. Even Iowa City or Ames is much better than DSM.

How dare you speak of God's Country in such a manner. It's blasphemous at best.

But really, I'm sorry you were stuck downtown most of the time. That is truly the worst part of Little Rock and North Little Rock(site of the SEC women's tourney in Alltel Arena).
The River Market is the best part of downtown and that's if you're of drinking age. Next time go west a few miles or north a few where the good people are.

Anyway, my vote on this would have to be Montgomery. AL. That's a dirty ass town.
