Favourite cities... - Page 3

My favorite town on the face of the earth is Santa Cruz - everything that keeps me happy within a 3 hour drive.

I am not going to put too many cities on this list, only the state side ones, like Nawlins, New York, Seattle, other then that I am a fan of the little resort towns of southern Spain. The little resort islands of Greece(Mykonos being one of them); Souda Bay, Crete; Australia, basically any of the smaller European areas that are either party towns, or extremely quiet towns(what can I say, I'm a gemini, I like both ends of the spectrum). I also had a great time partying in Odessa, Ukraine. I think that about rounds out my favourites, at least for now.

Grandview, WA.....I know it as Grandma's town, you might know it because about ten years ago the wrestling team faced charges for taping a new wrestler's ass cheeks together on the bus....plus it's in the shadow of Hanford and no one likes a three-eyed fish more than me. http://www.grandview.wa.us/

Speaking of three-eyed fish...... http://www.orcity.org/ Oregon City, OR is full of not-so-purdy folks. I don't get it...it's the weirdest assortment of trailers that has a city government and its own school district! Big bangs, stretch pants, and scrunchies are still all the rage here. Ditto Gresham and Estacada, too. It's like stepping into 1987. So weird!

Yreka, CA.....why? Why not just move it all up to Oregon and be done with it? Y'all Yrekans don't really fit in with Californians anyway...it's like you're missing the point of living IN California! http://www.yrekachamber.com/ Ditto Redding. White stretch pants are NOT okay!

Dallas, OR.....ugh. Why DALLAS??? And why is it that you assume everyone else in the country should know that there's a Dallas, Oregon?? Hello? Dallas, TEXAS is the Dallas people most associate with the name DALLAS. And WHY must you all name your freaking children DALLAS?? And the fact that the town was founded by the KKK really adds in your favor. Go Dallas Dragons!! http://www.ci.dallas.or.us/

I also really love New Orleans and NYC.

I so wish that this post could be more internationally flavored but that will have to wait for the future...

NYC - Where to begin. I guess with the food. The pizza, the knishes, italian ices, hot dogs, steak, chinese food. It's all so delicious and plentiful. The Museum of Natural History. Greenwich Village, Central Park, Broadway, the Jazz clubs. Damn, I could go on forever. I love California but there is truly nothing like New York.

Monterey/Carmel/Big Sur - Overwhelming natural beauty everywhere you look. There are wonderful sights like the 17 Mile Drive and the Monterey Aquarium and nothing quite beats a fresh cup of crab and a cold beer on Cannery Row. Still, it is the overwhelming beauty of the region that bring me back time and time again.

San Francisco - I've not spent as much time here as I would prefer but what I have seen, I have adored. It's a charming and welcoming city with plenty to keep one occupied. I wish it wasn't so expensive to live there.

Washington DC - While the city is not without its problems, the historical aspects make it a fascinating place. The Smithsonian alone could keep me occupied for a very long time.

I've always longed to go there. I'm a bit of a history nut, and I'm sure I'd get lost in there for weeks.

Hey, you left out Pacific City, Gervais, Scapoose, and Dufur

Can't believe I left our Hialeah, Florida..............lived there for 2 months with a Cuban family(and I don't speak a lick of Spanish). .....I did a Zest commercial for a show called Sabo Igante so I guess I spoke a little Spanish(but I don't know what I said)

Lol! I've actually been to all these places, and you give great descriptions!

I thought it was because you loved Texas because GWBush hails from there.

....And because I hail from there.

Right now I'm painfully homesick for Texas! It realized yesterday it's almost bluebonnet season! Whaaaa! There are few things more beautiful than a field of bluebonnet's...SIGH!

So with that...I'd say Fredricksburg, Tx is one of my favorite towns. Great German food, great shopping, great little honkytonks with great German beer!

New Orleans - the history, the culture, the beauty. I even love the smell!

Now they probably didn't de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bull**. Fin' Raid. Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
