Never again. Holy crap that place was awful. Totally run down with nothing going on. It's St. Louis every time for me now.
I note that Mr. Clemens left and never went back.

I think St. Louis or Cincinnati would be good choices.

I've always heard that Minneapolis is a great city to visit, but this will definitely be more like 6 hours away. You'll want to check it out in the summer when it's not freezing cold up there.

Well I guess you haven't visited the Indianapolis Museum of Art which is one of the top 10 in the country and best of all its free to see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVE_(Indianapolis)
Indy has the original Love Sculpture by Robert Indiana.
Plus Monument Circle has some nice romantic restaurants and hotels ringing it including the Columbia club. Then the highest end and best steak you'll ever have at St Elmo's by Circle Center on Illinois street. Personally I think that steak is worth the 40-50$ and the restaurant is very clean and heck even a couple celebrities drop by from time to time.

There's some links on the Indianapolis Museum of art for ya

I'd rather take a nap in any of the other cities listed and then come home than spend one more minute in that soul-crushing Hell of a town you keep spamming all over the forum.

Now I have San Diego, LA and Las Vegas within 6 hrs, not to mention Rocky Point Mexico if you are so inclined.
Is this a joke? Milwaukee, Madison, St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Cincinatti, Columbus, etc.

Romantic? How about a walk in the woods with a waterfall?

We've been here, and it's darling!
