- San Diego >>> My pre-Ron Burgundy thought is that SD was always Paradise, therefore out of the question for my family. That's for Other People. I think of absolute happiness, zero involuntary sweat, being surrounded by happy people who pulled the trigger or won the lottery and were born there. I'd hate to have been born there, and never known the difference. You've got to have dreams.
- New Orleans >>> Urine.
- San Antonio >>> Well kept neighborhoods. Wide concrete streets. The drive there and back was always same-day.
- Washington D.C. >>> Home of the Whopper.
- Austin >>> Riding around town with Cliff Antone. Sharing the stage with Billy Gibbons at an awards thing. Living way over the edge. Having to move to Vegas to calm things down. Humidity. The implicit guarantee of an SRV song on the radio or being played at the airport at all times. Coeds.
- San Jose >>> Excited relaxation. It was so new to me, you could have replaced it with Pensacola and I'd still be pants-wet over finally arriving.
- Atlanta >>> Unfortunately, I think exclusively of Gangster Rappers.
- Denver >>> Arrogance. I can't get past the arrogance.
- Philadelphia >>> Pictures from Social Studies books. Horrible, horrible food. Men who have never shaved below their nose in their entire lives.
- Detroit >>> This city, like Baltimore, has zero redeeming value. Negative people from a terrible place.
You couldn't think of a single not negative thing to say about any of these 10 cities? It's posts like this that make me wish we had a neg rep system.

- Austin | Waterloo record. Austin Proper hotel. MAGA (unfortunately the most MAGA, Trump-y person I know lives in Austin, I’ve been knowing her for over 20 yrs, can’t shake it.) SXSW. College town and tech bros.
- San Jose | I only think of my sister. All negative memory. Silicon Valley?
- Atlanta | The airport. Gone with the Wind. CNN. Film locations.
- Denver | Red Rocks Amphitheater. Cherry Creek neighborhood. Mountain climbing people in the airport. Creepy airport. Young people and their energy.
- Philadelphia | Main Line. Grace Kelly. Two movies that bear its name.
