These Here United States #5 by Las Ninas de las Pinas
	Virginia Virginia was the home of the first permanent English settlement in the New World - Jamestown, 1607. This state was among the original 13 Colonies, home to such rabble rousers as Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and even George Washington. Because of this great heritage, we're gonna let that "Virginia is for Lovers!" crap slide. West Virginia West Virginia gets a bad rap. Sure, it's Appalachia. But it's also a wonderland of mountains, rivers, and trees. It's even mentioned in a John Denver song. Was your state mentioned in a John Denver song? Ok, then. Tennessee Speaking of songs, I can name 6 that mention The Volunteer State: "Tenessee Blues," "Tennessee" (Arrested Development), "Tennessee Jed" (Grateful Dead), "The Tennessee Waltz," "Rocky Top," and of course, "The Ballad of Davy Crockett." And that's just off the top of my head. Are there more? Missouri Before Rod Tidwell and Jerry Maguire, there was Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver, who said, "I am from Missouri. You have got to show me." Between the Kansas City barbecue and the 30+ kinds of beer brewed in St. Louis, one has to wonder what Lewis & Clark hoped to find out West.
