Believe it or not, Pittsburgh is actually one place I'd like to visit. I listened to a presentation from their former mayor, who was in office when all of their urban revival took place, and it piqued my interest. I played around a bit on Google Earth, and it looks pretty nice. The view into the outfield at PNC Park is incredible. I'd love to go to a game there. I may make it to the annual ASCE conference up there one day.

Pittsburgh is pretty nice to visit. Went there for an EPRI conference and Westinghouse got us a big suite at PNC for a game. Was a good drunken time.

Pittsburgh has an unparalleled stadia arrangement.

I'd recommend trying the early fall, when Pitt plays a home game Saturday, Stillers on a Sunday, Pirates in between.

South side for nightlife. Downtown is sleepy. Fathead's is the institution for bar food and a host of brews and local attitudes.

Very clean, reinvented urban locale. Biotech, finance, and healthcare. One of America's top job markets.

My rules are: layovers don't count.Drive-throughs can, but you MUST stop either by the highway sign or at the welcome center for it to count. (I think I've only applied this rule to WV and ME).

Therefore, for me : 37+DC.

Hazy about IA and NC.

Need to see:

AK, AZ, HI, MI, MN, MT, NE, NV, OR, SD, ND

35/50, Can't specifically remember being in Ohio which is weird. I lived like 45 minutes from there once. I could get like 10 of the ones I'm missing in a day of driving. They're all relatively close. Never been to DC either. Probably 8 of the 35 I've just been through. I've spent maybe 30 minutes in Delaware.

I Love Cuban food and Cuban people. Some of the cleanest women on the face of the planet, obsessively so.

Hialeah is a dump though. I had to go to Hialeah hospital, got lost, got scared.

Messing with ya. Hialeah is all refugee's. The food is amazing though. For such a shoddy looking area it's really safe which is suprising to me. The hospital, good luck

I see Alaska being mentioned time and again as a place people have not visited. I've been to most states and lived in Ketchikan, Alaska for a year. The whole time I was there I don't think there was a day go by that I did not see something that just made me stop in my tracks and stare in awe and amazement. I can't really describe the beauty of Alaska, I don't have the words to do it justice. But don't cheat yourself out of seeing one of the most beautiful places in our country. Take my advice... If at all possible, go and see Alaska.

Providence is pretty interesting, they have this thing called fire water or something where they light these fires in big cauldrons on the rivers that run through downtown and have a big event thing throughout downtown. They do it several days a year. Was pretty fun.

To the cum dumpster 'tardbilly that came through this superior thread of peace and knowledge sharing after it hit six pages and down voted all of my thread incubating posts, frick off, I up voted all of them.

You got something to say, say it, you fricking pussy. Only a douchebag down votes every post.

Don't let it bother you. Hell, there's at least one person on here that follows me around down-voting everything I post. Just enjoy the fact that you've rustled their jimmies to the point they stop everything they're doing to focus on hating you.
