Becky, I lived in Chesterfield for four years - from 1977-1981.

Oh yea? Have you been there in the past recent years? It's friggin huge! Very high class area to live. I don't know what it was like back in the 70's/80's.....but now it is one of the most expensive places to live in the St. louis area. I live in the city....and rarely venture out to the suburban areas.

London (Magical and just amazing)
Eureka Springs, Arkansas (great mountain town, the rest of Arkansas, blech)
Gatlinburg, Tennessee (it's become very touristy, but it's a fun lil town in the mountains)
Galveston, Texas (it's got a fun vibe even if I'm not really a beach person)
Estes Park, Colorado (nestled in the Rocky Mountains, it's awesome)
Telluride, Colorado (another mountain town; in the fall, it's gorgeous)

Although, not a city, I adore Arizona. My family went through it back in 1998 and went to see the Grand Canyon. We also saw a really cool fountain and some ghost town (can't remember the cities). The giant seguaros are so freakin' cool! I love it and wanna go back to AZ soon.

Noooo?!

Did you have a bad experience here? I've never been out of California (pathetic, I know) but San Francisco is my favorite place so far. And I actually like San Jose a lot. Then again I did come from Fresno, which makes anywhere else look like paradise...

San Francisco, Half Moon Bay, and Monterey, CA. I love the coast!

Acutally - I think I give San Jose a bad rap...I would be willing to try it out again

I lived there over a summer - and lol - I had just met my boyfriend when I moved there - so I was all heartsick and stupid all summer - made no effort to go out - it was pathetic - so San Jose sucked - and pretty much I think it was my own fault...I did enjoy some things about it

They had just built Chesterfield Mall when I lived there - our house was within walking distance. I haven't been back since moving to Texas, but I keep saying I will someday....I grew up in Springfield, IL.
