    I know a few years ago we were ranked as the top hipster state (no idea who ranks this).

    "We WERE the state of hipsters."

    I googled "most hipster state" and found the Buzzfeed article that named Minnesota the most hipster state.

    Their reasoning? "Minnesota leads the nation in searches for the term 'hipster'"

    what horrible logic :lol:

    1. The people of Madison (Not talking about state government either)
    2. The politics of Milwaukee. Pure corruption.
    3. Deep snow for long periods of time. I can handle snow just not 3' deep where the only place you can walk is where it has been plowed. I can handle the cold.
    4. Taxes

    Traffic and the crappy fishing. I'm not a fan of a lot here politically but it's no worse than NY so I guess I could deal with that.

    School system and support.

    The coast controlling the whole state.

    worrying about pointless stuff.

    Also...western NC deer season closes the 2nd week of December ...its set up around and to cater to bear season.
