Mississippi and Alabama aren't that bad. There is just nothing to do in MS. And you can avoid all the racist people easily enough. Just don't stop in any really small towns and you should be good. It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

Florida is really fucking crazy though. I was going to make a post in OT about this, but I figured maybe I will just say it in here.

My parents and I moved here recently (thank god I live a lone), my mom and dad are in a 55+ retired home community. They are manufactured homes, not trailers. Anyway, the other day this guy that was super friendly to my parents walked into his neighbors house, pointed a gun at the guys face, and blew him away. All over some stupid feud they have been having for the last few years, about what only god knows.

I mean these people lived like a few houses down from my parents, we just moved here and already a 1st degree murder in spitting distance. I know this can happen anywhere, but jesus christ. With all the Florida craziness of late, this does not bode well for the state in my opinion at least. Fuck I need to get rich and move my parents out of this place.

Even the comments in the article "Neighbors drinking busche beer, lady asking if the wife was doing ok "Considering" ... fuck fuck fuck so bad.

I dunno, but I sometimes decide to Google street view the most random places in the middle of nowhere, and every single place I dropped down to in those two states looked awful.

There's nothing that looks even remotely that bad around here.

That said I drove cross-country from NYC to LA via the deep south with my dad when I was like 13 and I loved all of it. Went through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.

Wait how did Louisiana get thrown into this. Best food in the nation and New Orleans is a great fucking city. Of course you can jettison most of the rest of the state for all I care.

But it's easier to make broad generalizations than to actually know what you're talking about. And while we're calling out states, no one has said anything about Kentucky yet and I've only ever actually passed through Kentucky, but I would advise you to not stop for gas if you can help it. Just don't stop at all really. Nothing against the state. They make great booze, but I will never stop for gas again in Kentucky if it can be helped.

Arkansas may not have shit going on, but at least we have the decency to put some freaking gas stations and truck stops along the side of the interstate so you can grab a bag of chips and fuel up or something.

Road trip to Atlanta last year I can sum up the drive through Alabama: trees, Birmingham, trees. THAT'S IT.

Fortunately, when driving through Alabama on I-10, you only have to drive a stretch of about 30 miles before you're out of Alabama. Driving through Texas on I-10 is nearly 900 miles. Deal with it.

This is not untrue. When we would drive to Pensacola, once you got past Montgomery there is nothing but pines, pines, pines and nothing on the radio except hellfire and brimstone preachin'.

There are some places in northern Florida that are fucking scary. No thanks. I'll stick to the gulf coast.

Yea, I would include Arizona in there for the Republicans and racism against Mexicans. But overall I wouldn't say Arizona is WORSE than some place like Mississippi or Alabama. But yes, it should be on that list.

I totally forgot Arkansas even existed and had to Google it just now to remember where it is on the US map, lol

There are crappy cities to live in, but there are beautiful places to live in every state.

Like, Manchester, Ga. It's right outside Warm Springs. Crap city. Nothing to do, no one has any money.

LaGrange, GA. Bunch of uppity folks from rich families who can't drive.

Columbus, GA. Has a little of everything.

Atlanta, GA. Has even more of everything.

Savannah, beautiful city.

Helen, Dahlonega, great places to visit on vacation.

It all depends.

From my research (watching Alabama football games), Alabama has some gorgeous women. Since watching Two-A-Days on MTV I have wanted to go to Alabama to find a southern belle and bring her back to Oklahoma. I am a sucker for a southern accent.

I remember Mississippi having the shittiest roads but it has been about 15 years since I have been through there.

Looked at the first page, couldn't figure out the outrage. Are we pretending alabama and mississippi aren't shit holes now? They're full of the same awful people we have here in Florida, they're just not as big. If Florida's fair game then so are those states.

Slight correction, but according to Wikipedia G.W. Bush was born in the unholy dimension of Zhalfarr when a demon accidentally ejaculated on the Holy Book of Barlog, which shattered the boundaries between our dimensions and gave birth to the demon spawn that had been prophesied for 17 eons.

When I was in college in the 90's, MTV originally approached the University of Colorado to do that show. I was in student governement at the time, and the thought of hanging out with 90's Daisy Fuentes are intoxicating.

Then the deal hinged on the University giving Daisy Fuentes an honorary degree.

Fuck that shit.

I spent 10 years in Mississippi. In that time, I visited and drove through Alabama frequently enough to have an informed opinion of it. Mississippi is worse. It's a terrible fucking place, and I say that as someone who is "from" Mississippi. Don't go.
If you go to AL, go to Birmingham, maybe. Or the coast, like Gulf Shores or Fort Morgan. If you do wind up in MS, the only tolerable places to go are Jackson, Hattiesburg, and maybe Gulfport.
Don't go.
Also, fuck you.

Lived there for 20 years. Yeah, a little of everything. But for the most part, not enough of it. But there were worse places, and it was getting better by the time I moved.

Helen and Dahlonega are beautiful places.

I did like the drive around Warm Springs, or more specifically, Pine Mountain.
