A few years ago, I set out to take a snapshot of a plate from every state. My rules were that I had to take it personally, it had to be a regular set of numbers and letters for that state - no vanities - and I had to be able to clearly see the whole thing.

I’m down to 3 left to get - North Dakota, West Virginia and Delaware. It’s been more than a year since I caught the last one (South Dakota) so I’m not sure I’ll ever be done.

Go to the parking lot for Niagara Falls on the US side (Goat Island I think it's called?). You should see all the plates except for Alaska and Hawaii on an average day I think as well as a decent number of Canadian provinces.

We were there about a month ago looking at plates and ran into another family looking for plates while we were there!

Thank you but that's a bit far from me in SoCal.. I do see a lot of out of state plates in shopping malls here for some reason so one day, I plan to explore a couple.

Been to the Canadian side literally dozens of times, holidays and weekdays, but by far it's Ontario, New York or New Jersey repping most of 'em. A few Texas here and there, but never something like Alabama. Always wondered why that's so.

Yellowstone is the place to do this. You'll even see some European plates (on motorcycles).

Interesting - thank you.

Near the top of my bucket list too.
