What is the only U.S. state capital not to have a McDonald's?

In 49 out of America's 50 state capitals, there is a McDonald's within the city limits. The odd city out? Montpelier, Vermont.

We often think of state capitals as large, bustling cities, but in over half of U.S. states, the capital is actually not the biggest city. What's more, Montpelier is the smallest state capital in terms of population, with only about 7,500 people. In addition to being on the small side, Montpelier tends to favor local businesses over large chains, so McDonald's shouldn't take it personally. It doesn't have a Burger King either.

Smart move on their part, Buy Local is a Great thing. People would be a lot more healthy not eating at McDonalds LOL

Chicago is not the state capital of Illinois. Springfield is.

Vermonters have kept Walmart out of their state, too. They are generally very independent and free thinking.

Mark Kokowsky, Thank you! I said the same thing & that is why I chose that as my answer.

I got the answer to this wrong because I chose Chicago, Illinois. The reason I chose that answer is...the capital of Illinois is not Chicago, it is Springfield!!! These kinds of mistakes are ridiculous. If this is the only answer that I get wrong, I will be reporting it because I will not get my 3rd bonus gift! Heck, I'm reporting it any way!!! Am I the only one that caught that mistake?
