10 States With the Most Hometown Pride

Instagram
We know which states have the best fall foliage and which have the best towns to call home, but these lists don't speak to another factor that makes a location great: Hometown pride.

How do you measure that exactly? Pixable took to Instagram to see just how much each state is loved based on total hashtag mentions as of August 19th.

As it turns out, barely anyone – less than 1 million people – likes the Dakotas. Both North Dakota and South Dakota had the least hashtag mentions of all 50 states.

In the middle of the pack (slots 26, 25, and 24 respectively) are Indiana, Kentucky, and Montana, all with just under 1.5 million mentions. While that might seem like a hefty amount, the number one spot blows it out of the water.

Any guesses?

It's New York! With a whopping tag count of over 30 million and counting, it is by far the most talked about state on Instagram. The runner-up, California, had almost 8 million less mentions.

Check out Instagram's 10 most-loved states below, and head over to Pixable for the complete list.

10 Things in Your Bedroom That Are Ruining Your Sleep

Image
Getty Your bedroom is supposed to be a relaxing, tranquil oasis where you can recharge after a grueling day and wake up refreshed — but if you're like the 60% of people who report weekly sleep problems, it might not be. Look out for these tricky things that might be negatively impacting the quality of your shut-eye. 1. Your Technology That means smartphones, tablets, TVs, you name it. The artificial light that's emitted from these devices results in less melatonin production in the brain (the chemical that helps you fall asleep and regulates your sleep cycle), meaning you'll have a harder time dozing off. 2. Your Heavy (or Electric) Blankets Even though a warm and cozy setup might sound like something that would help you sleep better, higher body temperatures disrupt sleep — so you're better off sticking with a lightweight sheet or bedspread. 3. Your Wall Color If your bedroom walls are...

The Front Door Project, a blog and Instagram undertaking run by Connecticut native Deb Cohen (which is where you'll notice most of the photog's snaps are taken), showcases gorgeous homes, front doors, and select history of residences and towns around the country. Cohen's mainstay is New England, but you'll also find selects from places like Charleston, Naples, Florida and more. Here, 10 inspiring homes that make fall and winter just as alluring as the warmer months: 1. I didn't think this house could look any brighter, but in the snow it really jumps out at you! #westhartford A post shared by Deb (@thefrontdoorproject) on Jan 26, 2015 at 10:03am PST 2.
