Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles.
Tons of tourist traps. It is as well crowded and dirty.
Wall Drug. 300 signs leading up to it (at least)? Really?
Maybe the Eiffel Tower? I mean they got one in Japan that’s taller than that. Go see the Père Lachaise Graveyard instead.
It’s fucking epic.
@Vunessuh, but Hollywood Blvd. is a great place to watch people! I’ve got a picture of Superman on a pay phone on Hollywood Blvd. that struck me as funny. Should Superman really need to use a pay phone?
Hong Kong. The scenery is horrible here, all the sights that people boast about on Victoria Peak have now been enclosed by smog. There’s really nothing appealing about Hong Kong anymore except with its malls, and I would go for a walk in the park over spending hours rushing around in a mall any day.
@lfino It’s definitely a place to practice your people watching skills. The tourist traps are the worst though. All of those museums on that Blvd. are horrible.
@Vunessuh I’ll add Venice Beach to the list as well. almost got shot there because I wouldn’t buy a handgun from this gang banger.
@TominLasVegas The crips, bloods and skin heads are just adorable, aren’t they?
@Vunessuh ,,yeah charming bunch of people.Heck I used to go to Raider games in South Central when they were still in La and never got harassed once!
@Kelly_Obrien, we spent an extended weekend in Branson with three other couples. My suggestion is to not go to the shops, but just stay at the lake there. It was very relaxing. We sat on our deck that overlooked the lake, took a pontoon out on the lake for the day, grilled our dinner, made big breakfasts – that part was great! No responsibilities, the scenery was great, and it was in May so the weather was great.
“Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles.”
I love that place. You just have to know where to go.
I agree about Vegas. It is crappy and not a place to bring the kids.
Florida it a terrible place.
Stay away!
I grew up a mile from the strip in Vegas. Very overrated, I agree.
I would also say Wisconsin Dells. If you really want to experience Wisconsin, you need to go up north.
@lfino I used to live there. I was a cook in many area restaurants for years, and then I worked landscaping, and then raised chicken in Arkansas! I agree, the lakes were the best pace to go…especially in the summers. Out by the Dam was the best beaches…
This New Yorker despises times square.
I want to say… NO WAY!
But there are so many other better place to be in the city.
Everything in the US, and nothing in Australia…........
I HAVE TO get to Australia!
@ChazMaz Try living there like me. It’s one thing to visit there, a completely different thing to live there.
I say that about Florida.
@ChazMaz I can see the correlation. I wouldn’t want to live there either.
Correlation… I get it! You know coral. :-)
Oh well now you’re just making me out to be more intellectual than I really am. But I’ll take the credit for it.
Hoover Dam until they finish the construction of the new bypass bridge is another one.the traffic getting there is a nightmare.
Washington D.C. The government buildings and Lincoln Memorial were intersting, but the city didn’t look as beautiful in person as it was in pictures. It was quite drab, although maybe I’m being a bit unfair because the weather was bad that day.
@lonelydragon I loved Washington DC!Granted i’d never been there before when I went but I thought it was really neat. But in all fairness once you leave the area with all the federal buildings its a real hole.
@ChazMaz – it is the best place in the world to live here in Australia. The best part is that we don’t take ourselves too seriously…........
