I like Akron, they have a really nice AA Minor League Baseball park. Canal Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia wish this showed a pic of the outside

I also always love to go visit Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens About former home of the Seiberling family..........the family who owned Goodyear. If you're ever in the area the home and beautiful gardens are worth the trip.

Oh yeah, and don't forget the Home Page - Pro Football Hall of Fame down the road in Canton.

Harumph. You put tiny little Rolla on the list, but left out Iowa City?

I kinda have a thing for college towns, and I like Iowa City, Lincoln, Madison, Columbia and Lansing in particular.

Des Moines is also very nice, as is Dubuque.
