I really don't like Wellington in NZ. True to it's catch phrase, it is windy, and rainy nearly every day (or so it seems). I'd hate to live there, and I'll never go there to visit again if I can help it.

Nashville, TN. Country music and whiskey. That's all there is. Welcome to Nashville.

Don't nobody say shit about the Chi.

This thread is municipally just meant to cook people up.

But if i were to participate, I'd say Nashville. Good music, crappy locale.

Best cities you've been to . . .

we've had our run of worst cities. Now let's hear it for the superlative urban centers!

Wait . . . have I ever been to a "best" city? Are large cities inherently bad? Noisy, crowded, crime ridden . . . What's the criteria here, anyway?

Here's my pick: San Francisco: for its beauty and diversity

I haven't been to a lot of places, but I fell in love with San Diego the second the plane landed.

I'd agree, San Diego is really nice. I like that whole area really, LA south to the border. I'm pretty sure that if I could afford to live there I would, despite all the ants, fires, earthquakes, landslides, illegals etc....

I picked up a real estate magazine while I was there. I found a lovely little starter home: $690,000. Yikes.

But it is beautiful. I can see why people deal with the cost of living, the ants, fires, landslides, illegals, etc!

well, that's the problem with your story right there. there is no airport in san diego. san diego doesn't actually exist. it is like the moon landing - all done on a sound stage in burbank. clever tourism professionals created the myth of san diego to fool those clever australians into thinking there was at least one good thing about america.

lol...where the hell did I fly into then? I remember getting off a plane, I remember getting on a shuttle. I remember my room at the Holiday Inn right across from the Maritime Museum...

I'm direction dyslexic and really bad at geography...maybe I was actually in Reykjavik.
