As you see, I haven't visited all that much of the country. A fair chunk in the middle and then some bits off to the one side, mostly, not counting a weekend on the left coast and a long layover in one other state.
There were good things and bad things about each of the places that I've visited, and even more so about the places that I've lived. But overall, if I had to give any one experience back, I'd trade my time in Georgia for pretty much any of the others. I have only ever been to Atlanta, and that was only a couple of times. And God knows I didn't see more than the slimmest portion of what the city has to offer. But it still just did nothing for me.
On the other hand, and all jokes aside, Kansas is very much like home to me. There's a lot of stuff to do, but even the big cities don't seem like big cities. The college towns are vibrant and interesting. There is way more topography than people seem to realize. And the weather's reasonable, too. I would happily go back there at the first opportunity.
