Both places do look nice, but for vacationing I'd probably go with Lake Isabella. There's a little more to do, near there. Plus it's centrally located to Death Valley NP, Kings Canyon NP, and Sequoia NP.
Finally did look up this town on Wikipedia, and turns out Truth or Consequences was a radio game show, and later a TV game show. And that as there was a contest for the(then) radio show to be broadcast in the first town to rename itself, that (back then) Hot Springs, NM renamed itself to Truth or Consequences.
And for the one just posted barely before I was going to do this post, Fort Walton Beach. I remember years ago I briefly drove through Panama City and PCB briefly after a trip to St. George Island, and thought to myself it didn't seem as special as all the hype I'd heard about that area beforehand. I guess the hype about PCB was that it was mostly over it being a party beach destination? Especially Panama City(moreso than PCB), didn't seem like anything special, from what I saw of it passing through. Plus, I wouldn't mind exploring nearby Destin more, and that Ft. Walton also is close to Pensacola.
Anyway, next one: Wrangell- Saint Elias National Park in Alaska, or Haleakala National Park in Hawaii?
I've always wanted to visit both places but HNP in this match up. Which Ohio amusement park, Cedar Point in Sandusky or Kings Island in Mason?
Virginia Beach. Not only is its main draw (the beach) nicer, I think; but it offers all the opportunities for diversion of a major metropolitan area not to mention historical sites.
Turkey Run State Park (Indiana) or Providence Canyon State Park (Georgia)?

Turkey Run State Park (Indiana) or Providence Canyon State Park (Georgia)?
Turkey Run State Park given the time of year. Both parks are pretty modest and don't feel particularly unique and would leave more bored after just a couple days, but I like how I can be in Indy in under an hour and Chicago/Lake Michigan in under three, which IMO are a better lineup of nearby cities to visit than Columbus, GA and Atlanta.
The Seattle Center area or the Fisherman's Wharf area in San Francisco? (extend the comparison to both cities, but with a focus on these tourist districts)

I'm going with San Francisco. It's a much more iconic city. While I would love to visit Seattle as well, San Francisco would definitely be my first choice.
Which small midwestern artsy community would you rather visit:
Lucas. I'll probably visit Nashville at some point when I'm in the Indy area seeing family (have already seen Bloomington and Columbus on such occasions). I would have the last time I was there, but my grandmother was not doing well and it was important to spend a lot of time with her while she was alive. I don't know when I'll ever get to Kansas otherwise.
Apparently it's named after a street in St. Louis? Weirdly specific.

Toledo, OH or Saginaw, MI?
Toledo. I've heard their Museum of Art is very impressive, and I like legacy urban cities.
I've been to Cincinnati several times. It's one of my favorite cities to visit. I finally visited Pittsburgh for the first time a couple of years ago, but would have loved to spend more time there; so I'm going with Pittsburgh.
Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada or Cannon Beach, Oregon?
Toledo. I've heard their Museum of Art is very impressive, and I like legacy urban cities.
Cincinnati or Pittsburgh?
Cincinnati. Since as on my last Cincy trip, it's kept bugging me I didn't more closely explore the Over the Rhine neighborhood, and actually get to the American Sign Museum. Especially the latter from everything Ive read about it, and as at least I briefly passed through the Over the Rhine area while driving. Honestly though, both cities(and metro areas too) are REALLY great to visit!
Btw, Jungle Jim's(both locations), is also a cool grocery store to visit, IF in the Cincy area. And side note on my last Pittsburgh trip, I feel bad I never got to(due to lack of time) Carnegie Museum of Art, Clemente Museum, and a few other places.
For the comparison I overlooked at first, Thunder Bay. I'd love to more explore the areas around Lake Superior, both south and north of that lake.
Lancaster, PA (to visit any of the Amish/Mennonite settlements east of there), or the Amana Colonies west of Iowa City?

I've been to Pennsylvania Amish country already and enjoyed myself (the food particularly!); but I like visiting new places, so I'll go with Iowa.
Suwannee River State Park/Twin Rivers State Forest (Florida) or Guadalupe River State Park (Texas)?
