One of the best things about living in America is the diversity and uniqueness of each state and region. The characteristics of each state are also reflected in their capital cities. When people described what their state’s capital would be like as a person, their answers were pretty comical.
1. Lansing, Michigan
Someone described Michigan’s capital city as “A Karen who insists the car accident was your fault, despite video footage of them playing on their new iPhone.” Interesting fact: Lansing’s citizens opposed slavery, and the city was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
2. Cheyenne, Wyoming
The capital city of Wyoming is home to the Cheyenne Frontier Days, the largest outdoor rodeo in the world. The cowboy culture runs deep in Cheyenne, with a Wyoming native saying the city is like “A stoic cowboy who has nukes in his backyard.”
3. Springfield, Illinois
The iconic President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, called Springfield home for many years. Today, someone depicts the city as the forever ignored younger sibling with a justified inferiority complex. Competing with Chicago has to be complicated.
4. Sacramento, California
The West Coast capital was the birthplace and headquarters of the former Tower Records. For one Californian, their capital city is like “A Starbucks drinking businessman doing only the minimal progressive stuff while being more focused with their looks at the office.”
5. Austin, Texas
Texans write that Austin is personified as a “Hipster cowboy who shops at Whole Foods, has a Friendsgiving with tofurkey and local artisan tacos, owns a doodle mix that always wears a bandana around its neck, and wears a cowboy hat ironically.” Austin, despite being a vast arts hub, has become a significant tech hub in recent years, with companies like Tesla, Oracle, Apple, and IBM having offices there.
6. Jefferson City, Missouri
Jefferson City was the home of the Missouri State Penitentiary, which housed infamous bank robber Pretty Boy Floyd and James Earl Ray, who assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Despite this history, a Missouri native claims Jefferson City is such a boring person if it were a spice, it would be flour.
7. Olympia, Washington
For a few years, the northwest capital city was the home of Nirvana’s lead singer, Kurt Cobain. A commenter in the group personifies Olympia as the person in charge of your local homeowners’ association, which half the neighborhood dislikes.
8. St. Paul, Minnesota
St. Paul is the birthplace of several prominent people, including actress Loni Anderson, actor Josh Hartnett, and Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn. Somebody jokes that St. Paul likes to think he’s better than Minneapolis, his more famous brother.
9. Trenton, New Jersey
An early capital of the United States wasn’t Washington, D.C.; it was Trenton, New Jersey, for a bit of time. The city used to be a manufacturing hub but has fallen on hard times over the last several decades. A user in the forum states Trenton embodies hard work and overcoming adversity and probably has one more fight left in it.
10. Annapolis, Maryland
The United States Naval Academy is based in Annapolis, an area where sailing is a way of life. A Marylander believes that if the capital city was a person, it would be a middle-aged man wearing sailing gloves who wonders why more people didn’t decide to be born wealthy.
