vermont is spectacular but is it really number 1 hippie state? http://blog.estately.com/2014/05/is-your-state-a-land-of-hippies-or-is-it-full-of-squares/
I find that list hard to believe. California #32 ? I would think we would at least be in the Top 10. I can't even recall anyone from Vermont on this site.
Looking at the criteria it seems to be based on stupid stereotypes. I fucking grew up in Maine. Granted right next to a Navy base the place is redneck central with a handful of hippie outcroppings. C/S, Rev J
