San Diego. I already want to move back just because I enjoyed living there, not because of anything in particular like development or a transit project. But I do like to keep an eye on progress or changes there.
New Orleans. I'm always curious to how the economy is going and how they're still recovering from 2005... Though it sounds like things are going better lately at least in terms of the economy.
I don't know if I'd live there long-term, but I wouldn't mind living there for a year or two...
I like to keep my fingers on Cleveland's pulse. Don't know that I'd ever actually want to live there myself, though I've thought about investing in a house or two in up-and-coming areas since they can still be had for quite cheap. I'm just not quite in a financial situation to be able to do that and still work full time, unfortunately.

Denver because I have a group of good friends that live there and I really like the city a lot. Although Denver is a distant 6 hours away it's the closest major city to where I live and I like to get up there as much as I can. I may consider living there at some point. One local blog I like to check in on for Denver is Denver Infill which is an urban planning site (http://denverinfill.com/blog/). They are always building something new up there and the city always seems to improve and get better every time I'm up there.
I also like to follow the progress on the FasTraks project (light rail/commuter rail expansion in Denver metro: http://www.rtd-fastracks.com/main_1).
I also follow Seattle and Boston quite a bit as I've lived in both cities.

I think most Americans should. I hope it can get it's act together and turn around within a generation. One interesting thing I noticed happening there was a large urban farming movement. Plots of vacant land where homes once stood have been cleared into urban prairies and set up for agriculture for locally grown food with active community involvement. It's rather intiguing: http://www.freep.com/article/2013052...dening-detroit
Coming from the Southwest, one asset I envy in Detroit is it's abundant fresh water supply which will no doubt be an incredibly valuable resource for its future.

Jacksonville, FL has always intrigued me with it's coastal location and diverse economy not based on tourism, interesting historic neighborhoods, what can and probably will be a cool, thriving downtown area with riverfront and a pending light rail project as well.
