Most of them I just think, "Why would anyone go THERE?" I just picture featureless, nondescript towns out in the middle of nowhere that came about because somebody's wagon wheel broke and they decided just to stop. That wouldn't apply to Jacksonville, but why is there a city in Florida that's nowhere near the ocean or the Gulf of Mexico? What is the point?

San Diego, though, people say is great. There must be something to it.

And Boston is more like a big town than a real city, but it's got a lot of early American history, and it's very cute.

I'd think Richmond would also have some interesting historical places, since it was the capital of the Confederacy. I'd go there for that.

Buffalo I think of as having huge amounts of snow, because that's what they always show on the news, but I also saw that they had some interesting historical places that I wouldn't mind seeing. Not sure why the person above me says Buffalo Wild Wings is a southern thing--the only one I've ever seen is in Eatontown, NJ. Food's good, but there are a lot of TVs with sporting events going on everywhere--not my thing.
