arizona has to be best known for the grand canyon. tucson's claim to fame is the gem and mineral shows.
I believe that at this point Illinois (where I am living right now) is best known for corrupt governors, out of control state spending, and high "make your eyes bleed high" taxes.
I can't think of anything else off hand.

West Virginia/USA.
I suppose it's the coal mines that people think of first when they think of WV, but there is also the stereotype side of things and people think we are barefoot, backwoods, toothless, inbred hicks with shotguns.

one thing that doesn't get a whole lot of press about florida is all of the foreign plant and animal species that have taken hold down there and how screwed up the ecology is because of it.
Aside from the obvious places in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, we're known for our Amish population in between. There's also the Gettysburg Battlefield, Three Mile Island, and Hershey, PA (the place that makes your Hershey's Chocolate, Kit Kat, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups).
We can tell whether you're a true native by the way you pronounce Lancaster. People like Jeff Koons and Taylor Swift grew up in or around South Central PA where I was raised.
But, I definitely think most people come here for our education. Pennsylvania has a storied history of education with institutions like Penn State, UPenn, Carnegie Mellon, Villanova, Franklin and Marshall, Shippensburg, etc. Education IS politics here. We spend a lot on education and we take it very seriously.
