Favorite Cities in the U.S
 

I know not everyone will have an opinion about this, but what the hell.

I've had a chance to travel quite a bit and I wanted to share my favorite 3 cities in the country I've been to. (Besides Minneapolis of course, which will always be #1 for me :) )


#1.Boston. Besides being the home of my favorite baseball team, Boston has so much to offer in such a small area. I mean, I can walk around there for likesd weeks at a time and never be bored. The Boston Common alone,along with the public garden next to it are top places to see, along with the freedom trail. And then there's the FOOD!!!!!!, a subject very near and dear to this fat fag's heart....(6'4, 265) The North End, OH MY,the best Italian food I've ever eaten bar none. And then there's my other fav, seafood, or is it see food? :rolleyes: The Union Oyster house,along with many other establishments have been eaten at by yours truly, and they've never dissapointed. Boston, #1

#2. Pittsburgh. Everytime I tell my friends this is one of my favorite cities to visit they look at me weird and say "What the F**K are u talkin about?" I say to them "You need to enlighten yourselves.." Pittsburgh is to me one of the most picturesque cicites going. You've got the 2 rivers coming together at Point State Park, a place I always spend time at when I'm in the Steel City. Then there's the Baseball park, PNC Park. The finest sports venue in the country in my opinion. You can look out over the right field fence and have the river and downtown right in front of you. And as far as food goes, mmm those Primanti brothers sandwiches. with the meat fries and wahtever else they can stuff into them, this is not for the clogged of arteries. Pittsburgh, #2


#3. San Diego. To me, bar none the best city in California. It never seems to ever get above or below between 65-75 degrees, and the Gaslamp district is a real treat with it's many great resturants. Also, a very safe city to talk in at night,and least in downtown where I was. Oh, and San Diego is also the first place I ever saw Fleetwood Mac in the front fow in 2003. :D San Diego, #3.


So there's a little sampling of my opinions, for whatever that's worth. And, no I dont work for the travel channel........ HAHA :lol: PLease feel free to share your opinions as to places youve all been to

Hell yes! Gotta show the love for my hometown :nod:

Nashville, TN, hands down. :blob1:

Cool. :cool: I like different opinions

pittsburgh kinda makes me want to die. :x

i've lived here all my life. i love certain parts of the city, like the south side, and squirrel hill, but other than that, ergh. i've lived in cranberry, zellienople, bellevue, and sharpsburg, and i didn't really like any of them that much. i guess since i've lived here so long, i just don't get it. to most visitors, it's like, the most amazing thing ever because we have so many hills. haha.

i will admit, the local music scene is pretty good. and the billions of record shops. but, i still prefer cleveland and philly, so yeah. we do have eat & park here which isn't too bad for cheap food, but i cannot stand primantis. i also hate the steelers. i am obviously not a real pittsburgher.

Oh nonsense. It's just your opinion, which counts just as much as anyone elses :)

I thought this thread was about your FAVORITE city? :rolleyes:

So hard to choose...

San Francisco is right up there.
Nashville.
Boston.
Washington, DC.
New York.

You got me there. I shouldve said favorite cities. I will go oin the corner and take my punishment now...... :woohoo:

Nashville and Atlanta-love both of them-maybe nashville a little more, but only cuz I've been there a few more times

there we go. Changed it

it is. if you've lived in a city your whole life, you're allowed to have whatever opinion on it you'd like. :D

i just never understood why everybody thinks it's so great here. maybe it's just the parts i've lived in, but i've been everywhere in this city, and it's just not my cup of tea. it's like there's a code for each part of the city - there must be 3 pizza shops, 10 bars, and a church within a 10 mile radius of the next burough or whatever. there's some cool stuff in pittsburgh, don't get me wrong. one half becoming one gigantic shopping mall, and the other half is going downhill by the minute, give or take a few small communities.

oh yeah - favorite cities?

1) cleveland
2) philly
3) DC

that's all i can think of.

OMG, what a total idiot I am. I just realized you werent even referring t me there. I thought you were taling about the singular form there to me. Boy, I really need to pay more attention..... :rolleyes: :sorry: :confused:

:lol: :laugh: :lol: So true, so true. Still, places like The Point are really beautiful. Back on topic though, my favorites are:

Los Angeles
Cleveland
Baltimore

Chicago. Los Angeles. St. Augustine. Those are probably my top three.

I must say, though, that I do like Lexington quite a bit. Although not large by any means, we have some good restaurants and shopping and plenty of performing arts. I know many people do not enjoy "college towns," but I think the university adds a great deal to the community. Plus, I think it's beautiful....from downtown to the horse farms you'll see by driving just a few miles out. :)
