Anyone have 'one' US City they'd like to visit, but havent?

[dan]

I was in NJ...then Va now SC, about 30 mins outside of Charleston. Heading back to Va I think, then hopefully the Poconos, Pa.

Shit, we should get together sometime before you go, you're about 2 hours from me, seems silly to be living in the same relatively small state and never get together!

As for Charleston, like any city, it's got really nice areas and REALLY bad areas. My friend lives in Isle of Palms, which is a very very very nice area, I literally feel uncomfortable there, there's so much money going around. Downtown Charleston is outstanding, I thought about moving there at one time, but almost the entire city (the nice parts) is nothing but historical landmarks, and thus, ridiculously expensive.

NM, what is it about the thread title that gave you liberty to talk about other countries?

Whilst wasting time watching TV at 1:38a, Xmas morning, 2007, my mind is on travel. I've been fortunate enough to travel a bit in my life - I've seen a few of the larger, and nearly THE largest, cities around the world.

I've also got to visit some of the best US cities. But if I had ONE to pick for a 3 or 4 day visit which would it be?

I'd like to visit San Antonio, TX. Cowboy rustic-type beauty. AND Texas women.

I'd also like to see Key West.

Portland, Maine.

New Orleans.

(side note, there are folk on TV now, in Marysville? Maine...hanging a Xmas tree by the water. These guys actually hung CORN from the tree. Yeah...halves of Corn ears. Weird. Whatever floats their boat, I guess).

But if I had to pic just ONE US City? wow.

(OMIGOD...there are little FISH hung from the tree, too!! what weirdos!!)

What'd you pick?

what you expect its mfm country

I also want to goto several other cities in other countries like the city in France where Jim Morrison is burried and I've gotta see the Luvre and the London Eye.

This is about US cities, specifically.

New York. Never been there.

Puyallup.

Do I have to just pick one? Bah!!

For starters I would like to visit Boston, Philadelphia and New York but also Concord NH.

Why Concord? Because of the historical area being where the Revolution began. I would love to spend some quality time in the places history was made.

I'd also like to see Honolulu and Ankorage, AK.

Immie, the revolutionary war town of Concord you are thinking of was/is in Massachusetts. Near Lexington.

The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War.[1] They were fought on April 19, 1775, in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (present-day Arlington), and Cambridge, near Boston. The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America.

Philadelphia's not all that great. Aside from like 3 landmarks and a cheesesteak, there's nothing much there other than a crowded, dirty city.

If you have an interest in American Revolutionary War history, those landmarks are quite unique and exciting. Tours given by people in colonial garb are interesting. Also, the Society Hill area is a very pretty walk amongst colonial townhouses. The City Tavern restaurant is from the Revolutionary War era, and they serve beer from original recipes of Jefferson and Franklin. Restaurants on the Delaware river are nice. A side trip to Bucks County/New Hope is a great idea.

Apart from all that, it's basically a blue collar and black city, with neighborhoods like any other city.
