50 Stars: Americans, teach us about your country.

I have visited a few times- in 99-2000 maybe 01 and Las Vegas when I was alot younger.......
Virginia City is awesome. It made me love Nevada.
It seemed haunted and old - Really cool (touristy) mountain town.
Reno seemed like an old peoples Las Vegas, just seemed like an out of date sort of Las Vegas
:)
 
Carson city is the capitol, its pretty empty except for old people and desert. It does have a giant 'C' on the side of one of the mountains though. My grandmother used to live there.
Also, Lake Tahoe straddles the border of the California/Nevada state line. (But its mostly ours! :D (CA))
Oh! Its also home to the famous Donner party, their trail now called Donner Pass.
 
i lived in new jersey for a while but i am irish


i lived in mid jersey (areas such as belmar, jackson and i used to go to parties in the hood in trenton)

i liked new jersey and would like to go back some time but its most definitely not my favourite place in the usa

good things about jersey are the jersey shore, the close proximity to new york and philly and their gangsta accents.
 
Kansas: corn
Nevada: Vegas, desert, and Lake Tahoe. IIRC, in Vegas, there is gambling everywhere. By everywhere, I mean slot machines in grocery stores. Driving through the desert on empty interstates is pretty sweet. Lake Tahoe, partially in California, is a beautiful mountain lake with lots of good skiing/snowboarding nearby.
 
Las Vegas gets less than 5 inches of rain per year, though during the last ice age it was considerably rainier.

Nevada is deep within the Basin and Range province of the American West, which is just geology-speak for alternating horsts (okay, ridges) and grabens (valleys) indicative of crustal extension.
 
Our next state is TEXAS!

I disagree with Pharcyde.
I would not be sad if I never stepped foot back in Texas.
It is too hot,its too humid,too religious.
They are right with the whole 'everything is bigger in Texas' thing- Egos,the acceptance of racism, hair,nails, the number of jocks , the number of closed minded people,and the number of religious nuts.

I am NOT saying that that is all there is in Texas. There are some awesome people in Texas- but most of the time, even the awesome people will admit those complaints are true of Texas......

To give Tx credit- It has great food :)
 
TX, hmmm, in my 20 something years there i would describe a majority of my time spent as robert shea did, 'mad dog county texas'.

the cops are crooked, the DA's are crooked, the judges are crooked, the people are narrow minded and racist(Bv.W Wv.B), religious based, the weed is shit or over priced and mediocre, its hot and humid, the gulf is nasty, the tornados are bad in parts, its flat, full of killer snakes, insects, animals, roaches, poison ivy/oak or floods. its where i was raised, and some where ill never go to again.

you can have some fun in austin or houston, dallas and san antonio are not good places to be ime. i do miss the thunderstorms.
 
I spent some time growing up in a suburb of Houston. I loved it... but how could a kid not when swimming 9 months out of the year is not just possible but most likely? I think I was too young to know better but it was great as an elementary school kid.
 
^A suburb of Houston? I lived in Jersey Village when I was like 6-9 or so and lived in Conroe as a teenager:) Do you know those places?
Conroe is a town North of Houston.....
Not really a suburb of Houston but thought I'd include it :)

When I was little I did love the swimming- So much swimming:)
 
Unfortunately, I do not know those places. I was there between grades K-3 and we lived in Sugar Land which is southwest of the city... I'm sure you're much more aware of the geography of that part of the country than I. :)
