Big Cities. How many have you been to?
- Thread starter Ash Williams
- Start date
29, Houston and Philly are the 2 largest I’ve never visited. Have no desire to go to Houston but plan on hitting Philly in the spring.
Not counting NYC since it’s just on another level - Seattle has been my favorite. San Antonio was my biggest surprise as far as ending up liking it more than I thought I would.

27 and that is not counting ones I have flown into and out of, but never actually visited, e.g., Dallas and Detroit.
As an aside, have flown into and out of Atlanta a gazillion times, but until I went there on business a few years ago, I had no idea where the airport was located . . . had never left the airport, or picked anyone up there, so did not realize it was south of town until I looked at the MARTA map to go downtown.

A lot of them but very few that I'm interested in going back to. I haven't been, except to pass thru, the two closest to me - Indy & Columbus. National Parks interest me a lot more. Not on list, but like Charleston SC, Savannah, St. Augustine, Santa Fe, Jackson WY, Sedona AZ, Sonoma CA, Key West, SLC, CO Springs.

Not that many. I hate cities. I live near Nashville so a given and been to ATL. Tampa and Jax due to a cruise and driving through Jax (does that even count? ). Also been to Lewisville for KY kingdom once and New Orleans due to cruises.
I am a hermit compared to you guys.

I've been to a bunch. I live near Seattle now but grew up 2 hours from NYC. My 2 favorite cities are NYC and Boston. Agree NYC is on another level; just so much to do there.
I'm lame. I've been to Chicago, NYC, Boston, Philly, DC, Tampa, Buffalo (lol).. drove through Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Baltimore.
I’ve been to most on that list, currently live in one of them and lived in another on that list as well. Grew up in a small town. Personally much prefer living in a city. Better food, more activities for kids, better shopping, the opportunity for a fun date night with your wife on occasion, and if in a good part of town typically increased home value as it continues to grow.
airports count? Otherwise I can't count St Louis , Pittsburgh or Charlotte.
I'm lame, too. Never been to ALQ, Tucson, St Paul, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Austin, ElPaso, San Antonio, OKC, JAX Baltimore , Sacramento, Honolulu, NOLA or NYC (zero desire to go to NYC)

37 for me. A few I've lived in (Houston, Jacksonville, San Antonio, Denver, Cincinnati).
Eleven on your list along with London, Birmingham (UK) Edinburg, Paris and BrusselsI've been to 20.
50 largest cities. Orlando is big, but Jacksonville is largest city in Florida. By metro it’s Miami. Tampa is also on this list.
Only big one I've been to out of the States is London. Spent an amazing 6 days going all over that place - it happened to be the same week Queen Elizabeth became the longest reigning monarch so lots of pomp and circumstance (dumb luck as I had no idea). For me, London >>>>>>>>>> NYC. Would not live in NYC at any income level. Would live in London in a heartbeat, assuming I had enough money to enjoy it (very expensive, more so even that NYC, in my experience).
I’ve been to every city that has a major professional sports team in North America other than Winnepeg. OKC is the only other one that I haven’t spent the night in that city.
My daughter's husband was station at Lakenheath RAF and Mildenhall RAF for 14 of his 16-1/2 yrs of service. I was over there 13 times. My longest stint was 5-1/2 months. It was an easy trip to get into London. I did the steps at St. Pauls Cathedral......it is a long way up to the top of the dome.....
