Yeah Atlanta traffic can really suck from my experiences. When in doubt I try to fly out of Charlotte as opposed to Atlanta just because of the traffic (closest major airports to upstate SC). I've been to Atlanta for concerts, baseball games and to visit some friends and enjoyed the actual city.

But Atlanta metro is nearly 7 million, where as Charlotte is less than 2.5 million that also influences the traffic levels lol.

    Would have originally said Albuquerque, NM but I stayed overnight while driving to AZ and it's actually a pretty nice area. Nothing like the rest of New Mexico.

    1. Cleveland
    2. Detroit
    3. New Jersey as a whole (but Camden to be specific)

    3 Cities I never want to visit again

    1. St. Louis
    2. Milwaukee
    3. Phoenix

    No, I don't believe so. Albuquerque felt very out of place in NM. Also stayed in Tulsa, OK while on that trip

    New Mexico is actually a pretty cool state. Albuquerque, Sante Fe, Ruidoso are all nice vacation spots. Wouldn't want to live there though.

    Also, you should have stayed in OKC instead of Tulsa. OKC has a lot more to do, is cleaner, and less crime. Bricktown and Midtown OKC are awesome

    So much great stuff in Chicago that is should not make anyone's list compared to so many other cities. Off the top of my head-

    Frank Lloyd wright
    Art Musuem
    Second City
    Twin Anchors
    Michigan Avenue-Hugo's Frog Bar
    Beaches
    Dipped Sandwiches
    Married with children fountain

    It was a very scenic drive which was a surprise to me. We drove through the heart of Tulsa whereas we only nipped the outskirts of OKC. I drove there with my father so he was only concerned about finding a decently priced room and sleep

    Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park?

    If architecture/Frank Lloyd Wright is your thing, check out the Farnsworth House. While it's in the south suburbs (10 minutes from where I live) it's still rather historic

    South Bend sucks. Absolutely nothing but ND in that small town. Bunch of poor people live right outside the campus which is ironic considering how much the tuition is a year.

    LA - Just seems way too overpopulated and fake for me. Southern California seems nice because of the weather and the beer, but LA appears to be the epicenter of everything that's wrong with American society today which is materialism, vanity, star worship (Kardashians for example), and shit tv/movies that are shoved down our throats everyday.


    Middle East would be great to visit for the history but unfortunately that might not ever be possible because of the ridiculous amounts of terror in the area. Tel Aviv I've been told is kick ass though.

    Well we don't want you!

    Everything you mention we do have. But we have so much more. It is truly a melting pot of different cultures. Love this city. So much to do here.

    I've had a great time in most cities I've visited. However, 3 cities I'd be happy to never visit again:
    Salt Lake City
    Indianapolis
    Tampa

    I used to be very down on Tampa but they've cleaned it up a lot lately; the downtown is actually nice. The northern area (up near USF and Busch Gardens) is still a shit hole.

    I actually like Salt Lake a lot; Indy was give or take.

    I'd have to put a little more thought into it but the one that immediately comes to mind in terms of places I've already been is Atlantic City. Total dump. Amazing song, terrible place.
