All awards are of the opinion and judgement of my own. They are not necessarily statistically factual since my perspective is limited to only the highway, county roads, and/or towns I was passing and may or may not be a true reflection of the entire State. These awards are for fun only and are not meant to be taken too seriously. No offense is intended.
Each State has it's own personality and character and is so appreciated. America would never be America without each and every State being who they are. I loved each State for all of it's strengths and weaknesses. Each State contributes to the whole and makes America truly great! Blessed be the Name of the LORD! — Mitch Metzger, Trans-Am'er - 2019
