We asked a panel of 50 people, one from each state in the U.S., to share with us something that brings them pride about where they're from. Are your neighbors the kindest people in the country? Does a 'Never Say Die' attitude define the locals in your state? Let us know what makes you proud of your home state in the comments below and see if it matches up with your representative on this episode of Culturally Speaking.
