Boring day so far... have a long break. So, iyo what are the nicest/best state capitals and what are the worst.
Best
1. Boston
2. Atlanta
3. Nashville
4. Austin (many will rank Austin #1, but I just don't have an overwhelming love for it)
5. Salt Lake City
Honorable mention (not listed mostly b/c of size): Santa Fe, Annapolis, St. Paul (Minneapolis would be #3 if it were included)
Best can mean anything: places you'd like to live, best hookers, etc. I don't care. Just please explain your criteria
Worst
1. Lansing
2. Jackson
3. Columbus (I absolutely hate that city and can't explain why)
4. Baton Rouge
5. Montgomery

I would throw a mention out there for Providence. Very underrated city.

it feels like you are in an airport. I am not a Columbus fan, worst "big" city in the state

Montgomery at 5 is being generous

I enjoyed my brief visit to Frankfort, KY, if only for the Buffalo Trace bourbon distillery.
Love Santa Fe, though it's been 10 or so years since I've been.
Most of the Southern ones are lame. Nashville is cool, and Baton Rouge is okay, but the rest pretty much suck.

The good
Sacramento is really nice. The capitol complex is laid out nicely with lots of green space instead of the crush of buildings and concrete you usually see around a seat of government. Old Sacramento and the riverfront is pretty good too.
The bad
Montgomery, which is where I sit right now. As far as redeeming quality go, well, my daughter likes the zoo. Other than that, I got nothing.

Albany should be included in worst.
Posted on 1/21/16 at 11:35 am to PAGator
SLC in the top 5? Yikes.
Posted on 1/21/16 at 11:47 am to PAGator
Please add Harrisburg to the list for worst.

Worst: Charleston, WV - Shithole that stays mired in smog and dreary weather the majority of the year.

I'm a fan of St. Paul and Madison.

This list is ridiculous if Tallahassee and Little Rock aren't on it. Also, although I haven't been to these, they would seem (from a distance at least) to be contenders as well:
Des Moines
Oklahoma City
Bismarck
Pierre
Boise
Helena
Cheyenne
Trenton
Topeka
quote:
1. Boston
2. Atlanta
3. Nashville
4. Austin (many will rank Austin #1, but I just don't have an overwhelming love for it)
5. Salt Lake City
Some other candidates:
Honolulu
Phoenix
Denver

You've obviously never been to Pierre, SD

Best: Nashville & Annapolis
Worst: Montgomery & Jackson

Austin, Salt Lake City and Nashville are all better than Atlanta. Atlanta is a crime ridden, traffic infested hell hole.
Boston is the shite.
Boston is the shite.

Worst--definitely gotta include Little Rock
Posted on 1/21/16 at 6:59 pm to PAGator
Denver definitely belongs in your top 5. That or Nashville would be 1 for me.

Austin suck huevos. I mean, I get why young people like it.
But it's the worst traffic in the state filled with people that fled Cali and the NE for taxes, then keep voting the same way and expecting different results. Bikers who don't give a crap about laws, pretentious twits, racist gentrification, hippies, and hipsters.
Has nothing to with the Longhorns either. It's a cool campus. Just super hate that town.
