What's everybody's favorite city?
NYC probably goes without saying, so apart from that!
Mine's Copenhagen...went there on a school trip, and
it's lovely. Denmark is a fairyland.

Outside of the US? Umm...Dubland, Ireland was beautiful and so was Amsterdam. As far as the US I love NYC of course and LA! LA is where I was born and raised and still live. The ones that come in second are Boston and Atlanta!

In order:
NyC- for obvious reasons, and for the culture, excitement, and the sights and sounds.

LA- I love the shopping, food, and most of all my cousins who live out there.

Chicago- my hometown, and i like it for most of the reasons why i like nyc.

Las Vegas- I like all the neon signs, shows, and the elegant hotels.

I have a few favorite citites. I think Boston and San Francisco are my two favorites. I live just 2 hours from Boston so I get there whenever I can. I like the historical background of Boston and I have walked the Freedom Trail many times. San Francisco has it's own personality. It is cosmopolitain as well as laid back. I love to stroll Fisherman's Wharf aand watch the seals. However, I don't put NYC into my favorite cities list. It is in a class by itself and can't be compared to any place else. There are some cities that I would like to visit and they are......Montreal, Jerusalem, Houston and San Diego.

I guess New York doesn't count for people who are always there but that would be my top.

Otherwise:
Manchester
Baltimore
London


...and I enjoyed Athens but it was right before the Olympics so it was in top condition, I'd like to see it at a regular time before I make a conclusion.

DC and NYC.
I am sure most everyone here is big on NYC.

But DC--I just adore it. The national mall never gets old for me. When I live there in the summer, I spend most every afternoon running to the monuments (esp. the WWII one now- my new favorite). And I spend the weekends at the museums. And during the week, I feel so blessed to be able to walk through the Capitol.
The city is so rich with our history and beautiful architecture combined with nature... its MY city. And now I miss it a lot just thinking about it.

Santa Claus, Indianna is a pretty neat place.

If a kid mails a letter to "Santa Claus...North Pole" it ends up in Santa Claus, IN.

I've been to Weed, CA!! on the way to Festival of the Lights up in the Ukiah/Willetts area. Weed, CA was my 2nd most amusing "drive-past" city, right after Intercourse, PA.

Matt, that's what everyone says! you must have been heading south to Ukiah, if you passed through Weed...

Beaver, Rescue is in the Sierra foothills... Weed is near the Oregon border, in the southern Cascades... although my oldes brother does live in Placerville, and i have 2 cousins in Roseville...


Weed is also touts itself as the beginning of the Alaska Highway, indeed, if you leave Interstate 5 in Central Weed and turn onto US97, you'll have begun your trip to Alaska!

joeyjoe, I didn't even know you could drive to Alaska from the continental states. that's very cool. I'm better-versed in the southernmost reaches of CA, having often stumbled back into San Ysidro from Tijuana, a shell of a man. did you know that I-5, after it crosses into Mexico and merges with 101/1 to become Mexico Federal Road 1, eventually will take you into Central America. i heard it goes as far as La Paz, Bolivia before it finally dissolves into local chaotic traffic. anyone up for a Bolivia to Alaska road trip?
