Well, Kansas is a living hell- when the weather's nice, it's really nice, but when it's bad, it's really bad. Besides that, there's nothing to DO here. The nearest big cities are Oklahoma City and Kansas City, both of which are marginally more entertaining than Kansas. I used to live in California and Okinawa, Japan, but my dad had to decide to move to Kansas.
I visit Louisiana quite a bit- my father's family all live there except for his sister, who moved to Seattle. My mother's parents used to live in New Orleans (great city), but for some reason they moved to Atlanta, where my mother's family all live (well, there and Mississippi/Louisiana). My whole family lives in the south.
