Parts of Ohio, and Kansas. Kansas is flatter than a pancake, and nothing to see for miles and miles, it's terrible. Even wanting to find something to eat was bad enough.

Gary Indiana is far from boring, given the high crime.

Midland MI however your right is not the mecca for hot night life

Most of the midwest. NE, IA, IL, KS, IN, ect.

It sucks. I've lived in IL, IA, and NE. All equally boring. But it's cheap to live here and the people are very friendly. Good place to live. Bad place to visit :)

Don't know about city and state, but imho, the most boring highway was I-90 through Indiana. Some stupid state law they had about no billboards on the highway, the only signs you have are just before each exit (it's a toll road), describing what services you had available. Not which ones as far as brand name, just GAS/FOOD/LODGING type of signs.

I drove that back in 82, heading out to the left coast, and was never so happy to get out of a state! My gawd, that's boring when you're driving by yourself!!! :shocked:

Somewhere in Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota, or South Dakota.

I can't imagine living in any of those places. I'd have to be pulling down 6 figures to even consider it.

Doesn't sound boring at all.

I'm curious why so many people in this thread associate small towns or open spaces with "boring" ? I don't find such places boring at all.

To me what is boring is something that is fake or pointless, devoid of meaning.

go live there and you'll see why i called it boring.

regular conversations:
"did you see that deer that got hit outside of town?"
"your <insert either soybeans or corn> is growing real nice this year."
"besinger's runoff is ruining my crop!"
"penn football is looking mighty tough this year."

continue this for 20+ years ad nauseam.

Well, if that's what you talked about, maybe it's you who are boring. ;)

Actually, I don't find those statements particularly boring anyway. Or no more boring than talking about the stuff big city dwellers talk about. Home improvement, sports, how drunk they got last weekend, where to go for lunch, is it 5 o'clock yet ?

Well Dave Berry did a story on the "Armpit of America" while he was still writing his column. He chose some place is Utah that I can't remember the name of it.

What about someplace in Montana or the Dakotas?
