This northern state took #1 over Tennessee on the “Friendliest State” list!

Looks like Minnesota is the friendliest state in the United States!  Tennessee came in at #2 in the study!

Tennesseans were described as, “having e a buzzing attitude and an eagerness to show off their city to out-of-towners. Add in the lively music scene and it’s clear why it’s one of the friendliest states in America.”

Minnesota takes top spot and was described as, “extraordinarily friendly residents. It’s called ‘Minnesota Nice’ for a reason – the atmosphere in the Twin Cities and beyond is hard to match.”

Big 7 Travel asked their social audience of 1.5 million people “what are the friendliest states in America?”
