I have been to
New Orleans - beautiful architecture, terrible poverty, decrepit city services, drunks and pickpockets and thugs everywhere. great food. (this is before the hurricane. I am heading there in a week fro a bachelor party. I will see the changes)
San Antonio - I have always disliked this city, mainly because every relative that visits us wants to go see the alamo, which is kick ass, but there is nthing else to do! too many tiny mariachi children singing loudly at the mexican restaurants. The riverwalk is bleh.
Los Angeles - Reminded me of Houston (where I live) without the green foliage or the friendly people. concrete everywhere. bums everywhere.
stank exhaust fumes everywhere. Hollywood is in the middle of the seediest shit on the west coast. no need to ever go back.
San Francisco - of course it is beautiful. It is also small. the views of the water are amazing. alcatraz was cool, and the golden gate is majestic. chinatown looked like a hollywood set. The weather was what got me. 50 degrees fahrenheit at noon in July. amazing.
Austin - I have a personal distates for austin due to the cliquishness of many people I met while I lived there. the restaurants sucked but they ahve improved it a sthe city has grown in the past 7 years. everyone raves about the natural splendor, but I ahve seen much prettier. too many people with stank B.O. fucking hippies and stupid gutterpunks. I go there to buy records. Plus it seems that every single high school drop out in the state of texas migrates there, and every single "butter face" girl in texas migrates there too.
Dallas - Large, sterile, big hair, yankee capital of Texas. hard to navigate. Ha some great Museums, the texas state fair is fun.
Mexico City (D.F.) - Imagine a human ant colony. Imagine a valley full of grey smog. Imagine the homeless and destitute lined up three deep on every street. It was such a shock to me that I did not enjoy myself there. There are some gorgeous buildings and great history, but very depressing to me.
Las vegas - the biggest single con ever. the most laughable joke in the USA. the most pathetic three ring carny circus in the world. There is nothing classy about las vegas. if Monaco is luxury and "class" then vegas is "married with children" on vacation. The city looks like a tan sprawl, no trees, no greenery (it is desert) 117 degree heat, hookers and drugs and pimps everywhere, terrible stupid shitty casinos make up one 20th of it, the rest is just sprawl and houses. most overrated city in the world.
Cleveland - clean city, friendly people. Easy to navigate. did not spend too much time there.
Orlando - from what i can remember it looked like endless suburbs with no center.
I have been to NYC and D.C. and Philly but I was a young kid and cannot remember it, nor mae a judgement, but I do remember being at the very top of the world trade center and making a paper airplane out of the brochure and throwing it off the side of the world trade center building. that shit was cool.
Flagstaff - small mountain town, beautiful views, calm, nice people, very friendly. the kind of place I can see myself retiring at, ebcause I love mountains.
