I like going to the east in the smokies..I think thats the best part of america. The eastern part is sooooo beautiful...Mountains, then beaches and all that.. Plus many people you meet over there are rather warm, excluding New yorkers..They always seemed rude to me.

San Francisco. It is a beacon on a hill in a country that is otherwise so devoid of them. Except maybe New York, which is however overrated.

The Pacific Northwest:

- Damn Beautiful forests, mountains, and ocean.
- Mild, enjoyable weather (it's not too damn bright, like the South or Midwest).
- Amazing Biodiversity
- Progressive, tollerant culture
- Very diverse
- green year in year out

If you think the Smokies are great, wait til you see the Rockies. I say the Western US is hard to beat. Colorado and Wyoming will give you some breathtaking views. Montana is also gorgeous.

Let me ask you a question off of topic kind of....Is Sweden anything like America? I mean i know politically its more left and open minded..But like what about the people and the landscape? Just kind of curious

Oregon, especially the coast. My dad and I made a trip down there about 3 years ago (we stopped in Washington to climb Mt.St. Helens too) and it was just plain awesome. I would love to go there again and just explore (we kinda blew through).

I hear the rockies aren't as pretty because they are well...rocky...lol Not enough vegetation and all that..I haven't been west of Kansas city..So i dunno

I would say, New York.

I like the north east east because it offers so much to do, pluss beautifull scenery and it's a relativly short ride evrywhere.

The beaches. They stretch for miles and the sound of the ocean just lulls me into a peaceful state of mind. Especially the one in the park in Glouster with the huge rocks that you can jump off of.

What I have to choose? Each part of America has its qualities. The Pacific Northwest though is quite amazing.

Well you heard wrong my friend :) I live in Georgia so the Smokies were close enough to visit once or twice a year since I was a baby...I'm now 31 so I've seen them a lot. They are pretty but the Rockies are better IMO. There is much vegetation and pretty trees....but dont underestimate those rock formations. oH, and lots of wildlife too.

I love Ohi. Mybe because thats were I live but the country,cities and climate makes ohio and all of the MidWest great!!
:cool: Ohio is cool:cool:

-makes a note to visit the rockies- :)

Godda be Montana. Near the Flathead River, up along the Canadian Border. I camped out near there this past summer. Best experience of my life, by far. Natural beauty is unsurpassed.

Maine and Connecticut are quite nice, as it's always sunny, and everyone is good-looking, wears Blue Harbour and struggles with existential angst.

(Cookie for the reference)

But I do like the idea of cheap lobster.

I don't like ohio THAT much..In fact I was rather bored while driving through to pittsburgh...the only part i like was the eastern part near WV and PA

The A, of course ...

The redwoods, Montana's gates of the mountains, Tahoe/Donner Pass, Oregon's coast (Seaside), a few other things.

And a lot of Alaska's pretty in the summer.

I find Swedes more open to outside influence. Much more aware of the world around them, and more travelled. Also, more educated on average. Otherwise, people are like people.

The landscape? Well, the US is huge. It's impossible to compare.

-makes a note to visit the rockies- :)

Excellent! They cover the western side almost top to bottom. If its green and mountains you want, then I guess I would vote Colorado, although Wyoming does have Yellowstone Park(although it reaches into Idaho and Montana too). Oregon is also beautiful...if you ever get a chance to go to Lincoln City,OR......take it! Its so gorgeous on the Oregon coast. Have wonderful travels!

Oh well thanks for that little insight there. :)

Yeah I have a list of places in the west I wanna see..Grand canyon, badlands, yellowstone, brice canyon, the redwood forests on the coasts...umm montana, wyoming and idaho now too. :)

COLORADO. I cannot emphasize this enough. Sure, the Pacific Northwest is beautiful, but it's too damned WET. Colorado is where it's at, lemme tell yah.

San Francisco. It is a beacon on a hill in a country that is otherwise so devoid of them. Except maybe New York, which is however overrated.

Hey! We legalized gay marriage in Massachusetts. We're great.

How could I forget Boston! That accent! *drool*

That too!

We have civil unions for all in Connecticut. >_>

But I think we defined marriage as one man one woman in the same bill. >_<

Having been to the redwoods (on that trip of mine) don't expect to see giant trees every ten feet. Don't get me wrong, they are amazing when you see them, but what I saw were the survivors, what remained of heavy logging and such.....which I guess is a spectacle in itself. Enjoy them while they last.

Man hearing all this great stuff about other places, makes me realize how much illinois doesn't have to offer...I mean i like the south around shawnee and garden of the gods...but the rest sucks :(

Umm, you have Oprah. And a French name! You really should pronounce it "eelleenwah."

haha...thats a better pronunciation than the illinois with the hard "s" sound..like "illinoise"..i hate that.

but yeah oprah is cool....but other than that all we have is chicago and corn/soybean fields. yuck

San francisco, new england.

"ER" is portrayed as being in Chicago. So I know Chicago has the L-train thing. Which is nice.

Well ER IS a great show and all..But i just hate chicago..All the rich suburbs gets the state's funding, while the rest of us, especially in southern Illinois, have to suffer poor roads, education, low standards of living etc..

Definitely Colorado (specifically the rockies). Just spent a few days up near Aspen, and (despite the head cold I brought back) it was great. Still snow all over the place up there. Colorado mountains are the best during the winter.

OK, fine, see if I ever again try to make you feel better about living where you live. *runs away screaming, tears in eyes*

fine...I thank you kind sir...if it matters any..i guess i will fluffle you..


:fluffle: 's Fass..

- Damn Beautiful forests, mountains, and ocean.
- Mild, enjoyable weather (it's not too damn bright, like the South or Midwest).
- Amazing Biodiversity
- Progressive, tollerant culture
- Very diverse

Yeah, the Columbia River Gorge and surrounding area is the best. The gorge itself, Multnomah Falls, Mt Hood and Timberline Lodge... (go crazy!)


(for those who don't know, the "go crazy" comment is because The Shining was filmed at Timberline Lodge at the top of Mt. Hood.)

Illinois is a beautiful area of the country, and it ranks up there with my favorite regions. But I have to say I love the south the most.

Martha's Vineyard in the spring. Nothing else compares.
:D

The Pacific Northwest is pretty but it kinda creeps me out. It has so many pine trees... Where are all the deciduous trees? I mean, thier forests are green in winter! Thats just not right man...

Other than that I love that place, and New England. Oh, and also West Virgina in the fall.

ohio.........



Specifically North East Ohio, well, because its home. And I think that probably is the strongest appeal there could possibly be.



Living in Virginia Beach for over a Year has reminded me how much I miss Ohio.


Seriously Everytime I drive home, just crossing the border from PA to Ohio puts me in an ecstatic mood, while when driving back I get depressed when I cross the Maryland/DC/Virginia Border.

New York isn't bad but it isn't the most progressive state.

There's so much about America that's wonderful. In California, the Big Sur. The Colorado Rockies, the color country in the Southwest with all the red rock formations, the monuments and history in Washington D.C. I can't chose one favorite, but those I've just mentioned definitely count as "favorites".

The Mid-West ... wait ... no ... just the Great Lakes.

I like dry and hot, so desert southwest for me.

The Greatest Place in the USA?
Unfortunately its a tie.
Being born and raised, I have to say Boston Massachusetts as one.

It truly is the greatest city in the U.S.; close to Dublin and charm and drinking capabilities, holds anything you could want if you know where to look, and the best clam chowder. (Yes, Its White. The Way it SHOULD be)

And Central Arizona to Southern Utah.

Home to The greates College (once again Biased) Arizona State University, The Grand Canyon, and Zion National Park. Truly amazing area alove with culture, nature, and indegestion from all the Mexican Food. Viva la Arizona!

How could I forget Boston! That accent! *drool*
yeah...I've slipped into that damn accent atleast 10 times today. Gets me harassed every time too.

Best places in the USA: New England and Hawaii. No question

both have insane variety...Hawaii has snow capped mountains within view of 80 degree water...breathtaking views, cool history...etc.

New England...the beach in the summer (cape cod), the fall foliage, food, Boston.

Nothing tops Boston.

Purple mountains majesty is where it's at.

The northeast and southwest.

The south. I love warm climates.

The Mid-West ... wait ... no ... just the Great Lakes.

Awesome.


and its POP not SODA, DAMNIT!!!

Northern Virginia... the only place I'll ever call home

Northern Virginia... the only place I'll ever call home


meh, its alright. Better than VA Beach, but I still prefer ohio

Loved Southern California, Los Angeles (my birthplace) and San Diego, but had to move once the state turned into the United Ghettos of black people rioting against whites and not contributing to soceity, now I live in South Florida and it is just AMAZING.

I like Colorado and San Francisco the most. Especially the skiing in Colorado, which is really fun.

My favorite place would have to be my hometown of Boston. Crazy sports fans, tons of college students, great bars, lots of history, the wonderful accent, and a climate that always throws you curveballs.

After that I'm a big fan of San Francisco, and I've always wanted to visit the Pacific Northwest.

I love the Midwest, the values, the people, the tranquility. Truly God's country.

Living in Tucson there was this great moment in the morning when I could look out my bedroom window and see the sun rising over the Catalina Foothills, it was the greatest feeling, it was so beautiful and calm, and quiet. I miss it.:(

The closest thing here is smelling the rain in the spring coming off a wheat field, I doubt I get to do that again.....because it might kill my kids LOL (okay it's not funny that it could hurt them, it is funny that I can't be forced or coerced to work on the farm because of it anymore LOL)

I can't wait for tornado season, the green sky, the calm, the slight breeze, the smell of trouble.......ah, I love bad weather.

oh, so yeah, I like Arizona best, Tucson specifically.

Well ER IS a great show and all..But i just hate chicago..All the rich suburbs gets the state's funding, while the rest of us, especially in southern Illinois, have to suffer poor roads, education, low standards of living etc..

Thats kinda how new york state is, as far as I can tell anyway. NYC gets alot of cash money and we get shafted time and again... Thanks alot state government...

Lies! I'm from Georgia, and I can't wait to get out of this hellhole.

I like the mountains in summer and the desert in winter. Now if I could find a job half way between Phoenix and Flagstaff.

I love the midwest

Detroit.

Lies! I'm from Georgia, and I can't wait to get out of this hellhole.



What do you expect, It's Georgia :-p


I mean its the south for crying out loud, J/K!!

San Francisco because the Mythbusters have their HQ there.
