Fifty nifty United States from 13 original colonies. Shout ‘em, scout ‘em, tell all about ‘em. Did anyone else have to learn that song in grade school? It’s one of those that will never leave my brain no matter how hard I try. And it forced me to remember the names of all 50 states in alphabetical order. In fact, I used that song when I was putting together this meme list (one of my most ambitious yet, thank you very much).

Contained here are 50 memes for every state in our fair country. Each of them helps to tell a rich story about the social and cultural fabric of their homeland. You will learn, you will laugh, you will relate, and you WON’T just immediately scroll to find your state and then leave, okay? One by one ‘til we’ve given a meme to every state in the USA.
