Going to South Carolina, we drove right by Normal. Central Illinois and Indiana are f***ing boring. Iowa State is the real ISU.
The entire Midwest (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, eastern Colorado, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Kentucky, southern Georgia, and the Florida panhandle) are all relatively boring with the exception of a few places (Chicago, New Orleans, St. Louis, Milwaukee to name a few).
From what I've seen 99.999999% of this country is one big yawn.
I think we stopped in Peoria for a bite at a McDonalds...that wasn't too bad....Indiana was the worst...one freaking city on the interstate. There was Indianapolis and that was it.
