I watched Ms. Doubtfire the other day (LOL) and San Francisco looked gorgeous. It really is one of the most beautiful cities in my book.

I find New Orleans, Philly, Baltimore, Boston, New York, DC, Saint Paul, Louisville, St Louis, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh beautiful too

Do I think its the most beautiful city in the country? No. But I'd put it neck and neck with LA out of the big 3 simply for its architecture. LA's natural scenery is breathtaking though.

Hope everybody is having a great weekend.












I really like the first and second picture of Chicago really nice shots...

It's a tossup between Seattle and--while I really don't want to feed this city inhabitants' ego--San Francisco.

Other than scenery, is Seattle Beautiful?

Yes, they do have a beautiful setting, and one of the best skylines in the country. But neighborhood wise, how is Seattle? Is it beautiful?
