It is really difficult to rate an entire state. For Louisiana, are we talking NOLA or Bastrop? Is Arkansas represented by Fayetteville or Pine Bluff? Pretty much all states have some cool places and some crappy places. So I'm making my list based on my favorite couple of places in a state.
1. Louisiana: B/c of NOLA. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the state, but I love New Orleans.
2. South Carolina: Charleston is fantastic, I really liked Hilton Head, and Greenville is a nice little town too. Easy access to Atlanta if you need a big city fix.
3. Tennessee: Nashville is fantastic, Chattanooga is cool, and there are some nice mountains. Would not want to live in Memphis, but a cool place for an occasional visit.
4. Georgia: I like Atlanta and Savannah, and I like how the state has mountains and beaches. I also like the climate in Atlanta. Warm, but you do get all the seasons.
5. Texas: In general I don't care for Texas, but Austin is great and I like San Antonio pretty well.
6. Florida: Tampa is cool, and the beaches are oh so nice. Key West is fun for a visit, don't think I'd want to live there though.
7. Alabama: Auburn and Huntsville are both nice. You also have a nice (but small) strip of beach and some mountains in the north.
8. Arkansas: NW Arkansas is nice and Little Rock isn't bad. Nice mountains, but I dislike being so landlocked.
9. Mississippi: The Gulf Coast is pretty, but none of the cities really do it for me. Close to NOLA in some places.
10. Kentucky: Louisville isn't bad and they have some nice bourbon distilleries, but I didn't see much else to like.
11. Missouri: KC has some good food, but I don't love any of the cities and it is too far inland for me.
1. Louisiana: B/c of NOLA. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the state, but I love New Orleans.
2. South Carolina: Charleston is fantastic, I really liked Hilton Head, and Greenville is a nice little town too. Easy access to Atlanta if you need a big city fix.

My man.
All these guys talking about how various cities shine or suck cracks me up. Cities? I'd rather poke sharp sticks in my eyes.

That city is a shithole, visit but don't live.

we have these things called lakes, rivers and even swimming pools and showers and bathtubs for getting wet.
I'm glad you do have those things in Arkansas, otherwise you'd be Kansas. As far as lakes and rivers, yeah they're great.. but again, I grew up near the beach so I'm a salt water guy. There's literally a beautiful marsh behind the house I grew up in.
Arkansas is beautiful, I've been to NWA several times for work.. specifically baseball games at Baum. I love the visit... but I couldn't live there.
You have your preferences. I have mine. It's all about what we're used to.

I live in Oklahoma now but I'll be moving the family back to Louisiana in the next 2 years.
I would live in any SEC state that I20 runs through or Florida. This snow and freezing weather is getting ridiculous north of those states

Dude, you obviously haven't been to half the places you are acting as an authority on.
Myrtle Beach is the ghetto of beach towns, it's one of the least desirable places in the Northern Hemisphere.
Upstate SC is nice, Rock Hill, Fort Mill outside of Charlotte. Greenville is a great and growing small city. Charelston, Isle of Palms, etc...

I was born in Memphis but raised in the Missouri Bootheel. Have lived in MO all my life. MO is like most medium to large size states and has different regions. I could go on and on about MO, but I won't. But I'll talk about places in the SEC footprint that I have visited.
I've learned every state/city has their advantages and disadvantages.
TN - beautiful state. I like Nashville a lot. We had a cabin on Reelfoot Lake in W. TN when I was a kid. Great place and times in my life. Love the TN River too. Memphis BBQ, enough said. I could retire in TN.
AR - NW is beautiful like southern MO. I know NE AR the best mainly while hunting. Like the Hot Springs area too. Norfork Lake is great. I could retire in AR.
TX - Big with many regions. Love the people except horn fans. The south part is too Latino for me. But the gulf coast is good. Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio are good to visit...then leave. I like East TX the best. I could retire in TX.
KY - darn good folks. I really like beautiful KY, west to east. The Derby and Keeneland! KY Lake! Corvettes! I could retire in KY.
FL - Stay away from the women. My ex-wife was from there and she ripped me a good one. I prefer the SW FL area. The Panhandle is darn good. Miami is too NJ/NY for me. I could retire in FL.
GA - beautiful state and darn good folks. Savannah is great. ATL is good for a SECCG then leave town. GA reminds me of MO without a coast.
SC - the Low Country is great. Charleston and Hilton Head are very nice. Great, great beauty and charm.
MS - pretty state. A bit stuck in the past, but that's okay. Parts remind me of MO. Lots of history.
AL - Probably my least visited SEC state. Only been in the extreme north and south. Never been to the middle area. Y'all better be glad you have football. Mobile area is very cool.
LA - only been to NO several times. Great food. Nice to visit NO then leave. NO is very dirty and I never felt safe. I like the spirit of the people.
