Major cities in your state that you've never been to?

[TheseGoTo11]

I have been just about everywhere in the US, all 50 states, and to most of California where I live now. Not sure they're major cities, but still haven't been to Stockton, Fresno, or Bakersfield.

Major cities? Nope. Now, if you live in Fitchburg or Williamstown and have never been to Boston, that’s a newsworthy post. There must be many Mass residents over 15 who’ve never set foot in Boston or Worcester but none who read City-Data.

Would be interesting to know how many New Yorkers have never been to New York.

What’s a major city in New Jersey other than Newark? Probably many in Toms River and Vineland have never been there.

I mean I had to put something down for Mass since I have been to pretty much everywhere in the state.

For upstate? A lot of people upstate don't trek down to NYC. The farther East you go towards North Country the less common it is. The Anti-Ny resentment of a lot of.upstaters keep them away from NYC and utilize Canada or even Boston moreso I saw a lot. A few people I met only went to NYC to see a Mets game or Yankees game if they were even fans of a NY team. But I would put it at 40-50% of Upstaters (above dutchess and Orange) have not been to NYC judging by what I experienced living upstate.
