According to the map Ohio is not bad.
This would be the perfect weekend to have BBQtribe .
I'm right across the line in PA and would have to agree
Howdy neighbor 👋
I always find these things interesting. Like, why does Alaska spend more? Is it because, as I presume, everything is marginally more expensive than it is elsewhere or is it because they drink/eat more or use more expensive brands...?
Oh wow my state is the lowest.
Same in WI :-)
