The problem in the USA is that so many of the famous destinations listed in guidebooks don't have anything to do with the local culture or the people who actually live there. So, maybe it's time to leave the well-worn tourist traps behind and seek out a little more genuineness on your next trip. Authentic America is out there.
Time Magazine has listed 50 picks - one for each state - of unique places, activities and events that you might not have considered the last time you traveled. Have a read, and next time, leave the chain restaurants and theme parks for the clueless fanny pack crowd.

great idea- bad delivery
For Maine Time's brain trust picks the LL Bean flagship store.
Now, there is something truly original and off-the-beaten.....
No! FAIL!
Texas' Marfa lights? Time, get back in the car and try again. Speaking "clueless fanny pack crowd"...you guys go to the head of the line. FAIL!
They picked a McDonalds museum for Pennsylvania?? What??
How about historic Philadelphia!
Or pretty much anywhere during autumn. The trees become lit like fire, it's awesome to see. (fallinpa.com)
Or Hershey: where else can you go for a chocolate-themed amusement park? (Besides Willy Wonka's!) The whole place smells like chocolate and/or peanuts, depending on what the factory is making at the time. It's pretty great. (hersheypa.com)
(Better yet is Hershey IN autumn!)
... Yes, I live in Pennsylvania.
