For me, just the western states, plus a couple on the other side of the Mississippi.

except Puerto Rico isn't a state.
And that is why I was careful to specify "states and territories."
Mississippi and Louisiana. Third-world states within the leading first-world state. I love the culture, weather and the people of the Deep South.

A relative has a place on Lake Charles; he's invited us down next summer; I might take him up on it.
my girlfriend's been to america a lot. alaska
She'll say idaho.
I've never been there, I've mainly been along the Gulf coast--the Redneck Riviera as it is known. Done the drive from New Orleans to Pensacola a couple of times, also driven up the river to Clarksdale etc. Spent some time in Oxford, Miss., which is Faulkner's home town, and about as close to the stereotypical Deep South as I've ever found. But the best thing is just driving around aimlessly and stopping wherever looks interesting.

Looking at the photos of Lake Charles, it's pretty much the deep south. It's apparently closer to Houston than it is to New Orleans.
Although Texas is not the South. Texas is a whole culture of its own. I'm sure you know that it was an independent nation for a while, and it still feels that way.

I do know that. But Lake Charles is still in Louisiana, even if it's close to Houston.
For that matter, Louisiana was part of a different country, prior to the Purchase.

Yeah but many Texans consider themselves southerners. It is weird but true. I think it goes back to the civil war. Texans where part of the confederacy and all that crap.
I had one argue with me about this. We where 100 miles from the OK boarder and she was going to try to convince me Texas is a southern state. Pleez… Had we been in Houston she may have had a chance.

Texas is famously the only state to have been ruled by six different sovereign powers (not counting the Indians), the Six Flags: Spain, France, Mexico, Texas, Confederacy, USA.
Every Texan I've ever met has considered himself a Texan and nothing else. All the patriotic crap you hear about America in the rest of the USA is replaced with patriotic crap about Texas.
But obviously there's a huge difference between the various regions: West Texas, the Panhandle etc. It is after all bigger than any European country, as they are not slow to remind you.

Only Florida, and that's because one of my close friends moved there. The USA has just never had the same pull a lot of other countries have had for me.

dude, you could fit one-tenth of europe into Texas
You could. And yet if you added up all the IQs in Texas, they would match the total of a small European village
Oh, it has for me, I'm just waiting til I've got the money and time to do it justice (and a driving licence)

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Who said it was more impressive?
I'm not in the least bit impressed, surely impressiveness is in the eye of the beholder so to speak!

I'm strictly West-siiiiide baby!
California many times
Nevada just as times
Arizona a couple of times
Utah, once - It's a bit wierd.
Umm, that's it but I reckon California should count as about ten states as it's so diverse and so fucking brilliant.
I big heart California!
