1) Chalmette
2) Pecan Island
3) Tallulah
4) Dry Prong
5) Mamou
6) Oak Grove
7) Winnefield

I pretty much agree but when I play tour guide I take people places they didn't even know we had. You can never run out of cool things to do here. But it's not the easiest place to experience as a tourist. I completely agree.

Kind of surprised that Chicago is so high - I love the Loop and the near North, but man outside of that it SUCKS like New Jersey. And I'm currently interviewing for jobs that will relocated me to Chicago. Also glad that Seattle is getting the love it deserves. I'd suspect that NOLA is skewed slightly higher here than it would be on a forum from any other area of the country and that Miami might replace it on most forums.

I am, quite obviously, biased as frick when it comes to this, but I think I have a pretty good perspective on this stuff. I've traveled to virtually every city that's been named so far, have lived in four of them, and have lived in every major region of this country. I didn't have much of an opinion on Chicago when I moved here a little less than two years ago. Actually, I take that back: I hated it when I was in college, and I attended a school two hours from it. I am not a Midwesterner, either.

In fact I lived just outside Seattle for three years. It really isn't that great; it's not big enough or energetic enough or international enough to compete with the likes of Chicago.

After having lived here like I have: it may be America's greatest city, and I am not kidding. If all you saw was the near Northside (in which I live), then you did yourself a great disservice. It is the very beating heart of this country: all its flaws and all its greatness condensed into one metropolis of like 10 million people. There is just so much to this place, and in two years, I feel like I have barely discovered any of it. It's not as international as NYC or really even SF, but it has a pride and muscularity to it that I have never seen replicated anywhere else.

The great American cities are NYC, SF, Chicago, Boston, and New Orleans. Everyone else is competing on a different tier in my opinion.

I live in Los Angeles and feel that it's a great place to live as it offers a little of everything. I have no clue why anyone would want to vacation here though.

I'm having a hard time taking you seriously.

There's plenty to do in the Los Angeles metro area, the weather is phenomenal, there's mountains, lakes, camping, hiking, tons of bicycle trails, Hollywood, the beach, Koreatown, DISNEYLAND, Griffith Park, the Greek Theatre, kayaking, paddle boarding, Catalina Island, Runyon Canyon, Paramount and Universal Studios, Vince Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Malibu coast, and so on.

1. Vegas
2. Miami
3. Washington DC
4. Atlanta
5. LA

Spent decent amount of time in NOLA, Philly, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin. Between 7 days and 2 years in each of those places and they all rank behind my top 5 as far as fun.

Ftr, I moved to Miami because it is the most fun possible while not killing myself while being a total degenerate. Visit Vegas about 4 times a year because that is all I can handle. Could not live there and function as a normal person and not go broke. Too much hot pussy.

Only live once. Only goal I have is to enjoy it as much as I can.
