Now speaking of communities close to actual Presidential residences:

Bethesda, MD
Very wealthy city not too far from Downtown Washington. Bethesda is well acclaimed.

Spring Hill, Florida

Looks like it is a suburb, a little bit north of Tampa. And Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, looks like it'd be nice to visit. Per the pics I googled of it.

Next: Brunswick, GA (bonus points if you know the food dish that originated here, and served in a lot of southeast Georgia restaurants)

It's a big no-no town, but I'd like to try that Brunswick stew. I wish it were more like Savannah.

Dalton, Georgia

Carpet and flooring materials. Dalton is a center for manufacturing in the flooring industry - or at least it has been. Not sure if a lot of that has been outsourced over the past few decades.

Columbus, Georgia

Columbus, Georgia
I know it's a military town, as Fort Benning is nearby. Years ago and a little north of Ft. Benning and Columbus, I once visited Callaway Gardens and also FDR's 'Little White House'. Both were interesting places, to visit. As for Columbus, I didn't stop there long enough to get a feel for that city, and we drove through there en route to Saint George Island, FL. Maybe someday, I'll get an actual visit in this city, or at least at minimum google street view Columbus more closely.

Sitka, Alaska

There's a guy on FB from Sitka who I have some mutual friends with and interacted with in groups a few times. I've never liked him, he just has this smug attitude that he's so much more insightful about human nature and has so much more life experience than everyone else. I know nothing about Sitka itself other than that it's the biggest city in the US by land area.

Kingston, NY

Kingston, NY
Small, middle-of-the-road city in the Hudson Valley. Doesn't have the bad regional reputation of Newburgh and Poughkeepsie, but it also isn't mentioned as a desirable day-trip destination here in NYC. My closest connection to it is that I used to work with a girl from nearby Rhineback.

Topeka, KS

Seems to have fully recovered from the tornado that ripped it to shreds in 1993 or thereabouts. A pleasant enough small city. A second cousin of mine lives there.

Surprised you brought up neither Brown v. Board of Education nor Rev. Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church regarding Topeka.

Edwardsville, Ill.

St. Louis suburb and location of the newest SIU campus. I'll be near there soon, flying into STL to spend a week exploring my home state.

Hickory, NC
