I was just looking through one of my picture albums the other day, and I noticed this goofy picture I took of the World Trade Center when I was on a tour about 12 years ago. I never got a chance to go to the top there, but it got me thinking about some of my favorite unique places I've seen. Here's an informal top ten of mine:

1.Stonehenge-England
2.Victoria Peak-Hong Kong
3.Opera House-Sydney
4.Grand Canyon
5.Mount Pilatus-Switzerland
6.Sears Tower-Chicago
7.The Arch-St.Louis
8.Space Needle-Seattle
9.Fenway Park-Boston
10.Hollywood Bowl- Hollywood

I'd be curious to see what others fav's are. :)

I haven't seen enough to know. :distress: Though I see the arch every day....It never really appealled to me for that very reason. Hopefully some day I'll get around to see some more.

My sister was there over the summer and loved it. She said I would have loved it too. The Experienced Music Project (I think that's what it's called) is supposed to be very cool.

Sorry, I'm from Knoxville, and I just had to do that! Everyone makes fun of the fact that we have done nothing with the World's Fair Park since the fair in 1982. It is so sad. :distress: The Simpsons have even made fun of it.
Script for Simpson show about Knoxville and the Sunsphere (http://www.snpp.com/episodes/3F17.html)
