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.

Plus, I think it's beautiful....from downtown to the horse farms you'll see by driving just a few miles out.
AS far as college towns go, I didnt mind Madison and Champaign when I saw Fleetwood Mac there in '04

Favorite Cities:

1. Boston. I agree with everything that you said DavidMn! I am very lucky however because I live about an hour away by bus, car or train. As a matter of fact we went there last Sunday all over The North End. We went to G'Vanni's which had a pretty good lunch special and then we went to Mike's pastry. We also got caught in the thundershowers all day. We also went to Downtown Crossing and I got a pair of fabulous clogs.
The Saturday before we went to The Natural Museum of History at Harvard.
You are right when you say that you can never get boarded in Boston!

2. Philadelphia. OK this city gives me kind of the same vibe as Boston even though I have not explored it as much. It is only an hour away by plane.


3. New York City. I love going there. So much to do but $$$$$. I met a nice person on the train when I went in July. He told me a bunch of fun things to do that don't cost a lot of $. One of them was to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and enjoy the great yet cheaper food there. We were only there for a short weekend so we did not get a chance to do it but maybe in the fall we will try it.


Maybe we can all post a fun place to go or see in some of our favorite or not so favorite cities. I am always looking for places to take some nice photos.

I was in both cities and at both shows along with GreatDarkWing (Alex) we might have run into you at some point. I liked the row of stores in Champaign, however. Came in handy when I needed a new SD card for my camera.
The highway from Madison to Champaign however. SNOOZE......

Gah - how did I forget Atlanta?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE Atlanta. Love the weather, love the people. Why, oh why did CNN have to get so lame? I could have gotten a job there and lived there to my heart's content....

I like New Orleans, too... but only for one night.

Out of the cities I've been to, Austin is the only one I could live in, so I'm going with that as my choice.

Dallas & Houston...blech...I hate the fact that if you're gay, you're pretty much relegated to the "gay ghetto." New Orleans is nothing to write home about, outside of the French Quarter. My native Shreveport is rightwing Southern Baptist territory, and I can't believe I survived being a gay adolescent in that place without at least attempting suicide.

Until I see something better, I'm staying right here.

Where did you go in Boston? You really need to give it a second chance. It is a lovely city.
