A typical Jersey Shoreline city that in the 1920s served as the inspiration of Boardwalk Empire and home of the now demolished Trump Taj Mahal casino. Good summer recreational getaway from Philadelphia
Palatine, IL?
I'll answer this one, since I saw one answer that IMO seemed a little insufficient. It's one of the bigger suburbs northwest of Chicago along the Union Pacific Northwest line, along with it having a slightly higher number of bars(vs. a lot of other communities) on that commuter rail line northwest of Chicago. Despite a murder incident that sadly got all over the news from there in the 1990s(at a former Brown's Chicken), I've gotten a good impression of Palatine from when I've visited there in the past.

Seems like it's a nice city, in western Nebraska from the few times in the past I street viewed this town. And it's near the Scotts Bluff National Monument, which seems like it might be nice town to live in, if you're into outdoor recreation and hiking. Plus it isn't too far north of a drive to western South Dakota or into Colorado, if you want more things to do.
Albeit it isn't right on an interstate, so a la Bend, OR, Traverse City, MI, etc, it wouldn't be a place to likely live in if you aren't into activities like that.

Holland, MI
Like many towns in Western Michigan, strong Dutch heritage

Staying in upper(ish) Midwest: sioux falls, sd
I have to visit there to see the falls and eat at the Fryn' Pan sometime. Also, they have a cool radio station there that plays reruns of Casey Kasem on the weekends.
Seems like a typical town with a nice downtown area and some rough neighborhoods.
Evansville, IN
Sounds like it's probably an okay Midwestern city, in southwest Indiana. Although I don't know why this city would approve tearing down one of their taller highrise buildings, and that this city didn't more greatly try to encourage renovation of the inside of that building first!
And going not too far away, and since I once met someone who was from this slightly small city on the Ohio River: Owensboro, KY

Not the nicest Ohio River city, but I guess it's alright. I definitely like the downtown.
Typical agricultural town in the Texas panhandle. Salina KS?
Stopped there many times for overnight stays while my family made road trips from Ohio to visit family in Colorado. Every once in a while we'd drive a ways into town off the interstate for dinner and to get a better feel for what the real town was like.
Always thought of it as a pretty unremarkable yet adequate place that served as an unofficial dividing line between "midwestern" Kansas and "western" Kansas.

Myrtle Beach, SC
The main tourist beach, of northern/northeast South Carolina. Complete with tons of golf courses, nearby. It does(in some corners online) have a little bit of a white trash reputation from some people(and no joke as one person I saw online compared both here and Daytona Beach, FL, this was his/her real comment, 'Daytona is so trashy it makes Myrtle look like 5 stars'), but to me I can see why some like traveling there. It's basically like Ocean City, MD further north, where you have a lot of cheap motels and tourist attractions/things near an Atlantic Ocean beach.
Now to go inland from Myrtle, for the next one. I remembered Conway was mentioned a few pages back, so I'm going to go more inland than that. You may've vaguely heard of this town, due to a certain race track: Darlington, SC
Besides the race track and being a center of tobbaco production it is another typical boring southern town.
