Closing time is 2 AM. And most bars close a lot earlier than that. Inadequate public transportationn, so people have to drive.
So, with all due respect to Tupac, California definitely does not know how to party. I mean maybe celebrity parties in LA. But actually it is surprising dead, especially in the Bay Area. Unless you like doing Meth in a van or a buddy's basement.
Wyoming may not be the strangest state in general, Â
...getting deep into Christian country is always weird, but it's really up front in WV. Understand, to me deep faith in literal Christianity is akin to outright voodoo to me, Virgin Birth, rising from the dead, miracles, STIGMATA?
Further into Bible country I go, yeah, the weirder it gets. Gigantic crucifixes, ENORMOUS mega-churches, icons displayed in restaurants and hotels.
Just a bizarre subculture to me.
And I do presume that to them, nothing is weirder than New York, so we're even.
Weird is a subjective thing. Alaska is very different but I was expecting different. New Mexico, on the other hand, was not close to what I was expecting and was a disappointment, particularly Albuquerque.
Got bad vibes when I went through Kansas roughly two years ago. Missouri was "odd", too. The natives spoke in... triple or quadruple negatives. Jeez.
Really didn't like Kansas as a whole at all so that is my winner. Just a lot of nothing and felt as if a tornado was just going to take me out at any given minute, felt like the state just was never-ending!
Meadowlander, One could feel the same way about going into any major city: The pretentious "art" on display that a five-year-old could create, the obsession with identity and sexuality (who cares), the overpriced fruit being sold two inches away from a sewer, the overpriced ....everything, the funly smells, the noise, the unnecessary rudeness, too many people in a small space...
but New York State - when you taek a step back - it is a very strange place - the diversity of people, culures (Wall Street to parts of NY being the tip of Appalachia). NYC - that many people jammed into one location. Huge farms, huge commercial districts, the UN, Niagara Falls, Caves, forests- just a lot of unusual stuff, lot ot contrasts there
parts of Vermont (by no means all of it), but also parts of NH and Maine. Would add to the list Idaho, which has in parts of it some particularly awful problems with white supremacism.
Fuck those places.

Both give me the shivers.

So let's just say every state has its share of oddities..
Jeesh
Yep. Beautiful, sanitized place that seems like you are plopped into the middle of either a "Leave it to Beaver" or "Stepford Wives" episode.
Weird, weird place
