The point is that water of any kind is a selling point, regardless of clarity.



RESIST!
Again, this just confirms the idea of a visually boring place...

Probably Indianapolis, Indiana.

Columbus has a very beautiful, pleasant cityscape and a lot of decent nightlife. It felt like an island of modernity and prosperity surrounded by Rust Belt neighbors. Charlotte is also a very pleasant city and close to the mountains too. Are we talking about the cities themselves or the overall surrounding environment too? Even Kansas City has a nice skyline and the grasslands have their own beauty.

Lafayette, Louisiana physically looks boring and run down, but there are beautiful bayous and woodlands not too far away including the Henderson Swamp and Bayou Teche. Some claim Lake Charles, Louisiana is boring but its close to the Creole Nature Trail and beautiful wetlands.

Some people claim Baton Rouge is bland just driving through on the Interstate but there are many historic areas and a lot of lush Southern vegetation like Spanish moss and live oaks once you get into the neighborhoods.

Pretty much.

I forgot about Amarillo, not to mention the smell of digestion that feels the air.

I think Denver is overrated. People like to talk like it's right in the mountains when it's actually further out on the plains. There are many areas where you cannot even see the mountains and it looks like any other city.

Correct, Florida is definitely boring visually. Too flat with barely any change from end to end.

Hell, even the American idea of an exciting city might still be completely boring.

Houston, hands down.

I usually visit a few times a year for work or friends and damn that city is vanilla. The food is on point, but I have never been to a more corporate and beige city in my life.
