Interesting...why wouldn't you want to see the largest city in the country? It's at least worth seeing once.

Where are you living now?

Wow - I assumed people on a GENERAL US board are here because they are interested in..well...the US. To say you'd never want to visit another city is close minded, ignorant and really is against what this entire board is about.

That being said, in my 3 years here, it doesn't surprise me - some posters' only motivation is to tear other places down.

Obviously my answer is NONE. Out of the cities listed though, the only one I haven't been to is Nashville and I'd love to go there someday.

I could be happy spending 200 days in the air each year flying to different places and walking the downtowns.
I answered before I saw your post, and I knew that you'd answer this way.

I have several friends that have been, and they all said the sight of all those empty chairs incorporated into the Memorial is very moving, to say the least.

Definitely either Oklahoma City or Indianapolis, maybe Nashville as well. I just don't see anything fascinating enough to save up money to visit. Some of those cities I wonder why they are up there like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, maybe even Tampa, Dallas, Charlotte, Houston, Atlanta...those cities get tourists all the time.

Nashville, probably. I went expecting to be blown away but that didn't happen at all. Not the most attractive city. I prefer Memphis by miles. Probably Cleveland too. I like Cleveland, but its no Cincinnati. Its very depressing to me, but there's something i like about it, though not enough to want to go back. I feel like i've seen enough of Cleveland to ever need to go back.

Houston. Heat, humidity, Texas culture, swampland, Southern-style sprawl . . . ugh. Dallas is a close second.

I would like to see everywhere in the world. That is unpractical, but there is no place I wouldn't want to see at least once.

You could say the same for many places.
