Two "symbols," on opposite ends of the state, that drives women's-libbers nuts:

And your native state boasts "the most licensed drivers."

I assume these 'statistics,' like the modern plumbing here in Nebraska, is "per capita" or "per household" or "per something else."

Like DAT, Missouri's my adopted state though I've been here not quite 8 years - a relatively short time.

One thing I've not quite understood is this MO/KS thing - yeah, I know it goes back to the Civil War and prolly before then, but Jeezus, guys, it's pretty much a fictitious line in the sand. Nobody takes that shit seriously any more.

Right?  :rotf:

I don't, but I'm originally from Nebraska, and lived in Missouri for 13 years before I moved to Kansas. There are good and bad things about each state, and on the whole I prefer Kansas to Missouri.

I couldn't swear to it, but I'd say there are probably fewer liberals in KS. St. Louis is choked with them, and Columbia - fuggedaboudit. It's a veritable libfest there all the time.  :p

Salinas Valley is, I am pretty sure, still the Onion Capital of the World.

California out-produces not only every state in the Union but in some products all of them combined.

Including grain and potatoes.

Lots of different green veggies in the Salinas Valley and along the central coast. Lots of wine grapes in and about Napa and Sonoma Counties. The Central Valley and Inyo Valley grow all kinds of things, from cotton to tomatoes to asparagus to almonds and walnuts to dairy products. Until high-tech took over, the Santa Clara Valley had lots of fruit orchards and vineyards.

Fishing, lumber, mining, and oil used to be really big as well, though the Enviros have hurt those industries rather badly (and agriculture, too).

Well at one time I lived near the hog capital of the world in Illinois, but the numbers must of changed.

Quote
On March 24, 1949, State Rep. Frank P. Johnson of Kewanee introduced House Resolution 40 on the floor of the 66th Illinois General Assembly declaring Kewanee and Henry County to be the “Hog Capital of the World” after being designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as leading the nation in hog production. The resolution passed on a unanimous vote.

I grew up in Henry County & later moved to another community in the same county. Pork was big business there & guns...several well known gun manufacturers.

Looks like Nevada has the most hot springs.

I recently pointed out a hot spring oasis to a visitor when we were out driving around. I took him to see the less populated part of CA on our three state journey. We hit AZ, NV & CA.......

I couldn't swear to it, but I'd say there are probably fewer liberals in KS. St. Louis is choked with them, and Columbia - fuggedaboudit. It's a veritable libfest there all the time.  :p

I'll always consider myself to be a Missourian, but admit to really liking Kansas, very nice people there. Plus I like the more conservative nature of Kansas.

One thing I've learned since living in Florida, the Missouri/St Louis libs aren't quite as in your face as the East Coast transplants living in Florida. I've run into some really obnoxious ones here.

Sadly one thing Missouri is now famous for is Ferguson. What a crock. It's a tiny little burb that got caught up in the libtard's targeting. Guess you can call me a glutton for punishment (and cold weather) but we're returning to live part time in Missouri. Those grandkids are just too young, cute and sweet, couldn't resist. SR loves Florida, so we compromised with a half and half solution.

I've lived my entire life in a burb of Philadelphia.

When I joined the Marines, I had the opportunity to visit the entire East coast from Florida to Maine. In my opinion, the farther North I went the more rude people became.  :-)

On occasion if we can find something reasonable. Last summer we stayed in Sea Isle in a beach front condo. The owner normally charges $7,000 per week but we found it last minute and he gave us a break.

A top hotel in NYC charges that much for a suite per week.  :thatsright:
