close call between Naples & New Haven, CT...not sure if Naples has 100K, and I'm not that familiar with New Haven, even.

21. I have a decent familiarity with Los Angeles and San Diego, too. |
|
But mostly the freeway systems.
As far as side streets go though, I can only call myself knowledgable about Austin and San Antonio.

I couldn't think of a third. Although Akron had a really cool music scene in the early 80's. I have been to a little over 20 states, but I'm not "familiar" with the places I have been.

33. DEVO were from Akron. But I have a question. |
|
You're not familiar with the places you been? It's because Budweiser is available everywhere, isn't it?

41. So what..I like my Bud..lol |
|
When I was in my early 20's I went to Toronto on a road trip, I spent the extra 50 cents for the imported Bud when I was out at the clubs..LOL. But, I can drink drinks, I'm just not excited about the dark beers and ales. And plus...when I travel, it's not all about the booze. I leave 10% for sight seeing.

And does it matter if Minneapolis and St. Paul neighbor each other? They are quite different cities. I'm a native Twin Citian, and I know them both better than any other city except Boise.
edited grammatical error in title.

I've been there to watch my favorite team play. Hint: note avatar...
I've also been to Red Wing because I'm a pottery nut, and just had to see the old Red Wing Pottery factory.
Always fun times!!!

New Orleans, Vegas, Biloxi-Gulfport (they run together).
The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists and other subversives. We intend to clean them out, even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country. --John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
