Well, you could always fool the tourists into thinking that the Galleria Mall from 6Teen is real.park92 said:
If you really want to risk it, maybe.mojodamm said:
Otherwise, stear clear.
It is one of the most dangerous cities in america, right up there with St. Louis.
Although...there is this one place called dyers that serves burgers cooked in 100 year old grease...yeah...its worth the risk.
I'm from Chicago, IL. I have my own reasons to never wish to return there willingly. Yes, there are tall buildings. Yes, there are good restaurants. Yes, there are good bars/nightlife. But...
Personally, I recommend you go down to Lake Michigan, and watch the locks on the Chicago River opening and closing. These actions cause the river to flow away from the lake, instead of into it. This sends more than one billion gallons of water 'down-river' per day. Every day. It is quite marvelous, and very under-appreciated.
Bonus: do this on St Patrick's Day. Workmen dye the river green.

You Erie folk can just go back to Cedar Point.staika said:AAWWWW there goes my hot vacation ideathe spud said:
The one amusement park that was in three hours drive of my house they shut down a few years ago.
And the best ride (the zippin pippin, Elvis's favorite ride) is just sitting there, taunting me, like an orphan child with his nose pressed against the glass of a toy shop.
Well, I'm sure there's lots of interesting places to go in and around Vancouver, but when I saw the thread title all I could think about was the VAG. Ah yes, the VAG! Sometimes Leonardo Di Vinci is in the VAG. I've been in the VAG a few times myself. Y'know, during Halloween, green light streams out of the VAG.
Love that Vancouver Art Gallery.

The mountain, of course. I hike Pikes Peak a couple times every summer and I think everyone else should share in it's awesome.
Well I'm from the Chicago area, so anything I suggest will be food related. But pretty good food I must say.
But the driving here really sucks so I hope you have a chauffeur or something.
Oh and don't come in the winter. Completely MISERABLE in the winter.

I might not be helping my case but Erie has an amusment park of its own called Waldameer [http://www.waldameer.com/] but it's a small amusment park and the rides aren't that amazing and once you go to Cedar Point all the rides at Waldameer suck but it's there.the spud said:You Erie folk can just go back to Cedar Point.staika said:AAWWWW there goes my hot vacation ideathe spud said:

If you ever find yourself in orange county NY then I guess the place I would suggest the alp's chocolate place. They make the chocolate on site and I promise it will be the best you ever tasted or I will give you my right kidney.
Austin, Texas is a pretty damn nice place to visit... although, I'm actually not that familiar with its attractions, as I was a bit of a shut-in when I lived here full-time. However, I do know some stuff.
If you're here during the summer, you gotta drop by Town Lake under the Congress Street Bridge around dusk. It's all boring and quiet, then suddenly...
Bats. Over a million of them.
For extra fun, show up in a Batman costume.
And of course, there's downtown, where all the restaurants, bars, and live music venues are. That last one is kind of our "thing"; Austin is the self-proclaimed "Live Music Capital of the World". I don't know about all that, but I'll admit that live performers aren't hard to find.
Also, you have to eat at Chuy's. And Torchy's "Damn Good" Tacos. And Snow Beach. And... You know what? Just Google Austin restaurants. You'll come up with tons of stuff.

Denver...let's see....uhhh...OH! Wait no..um. Maybe they go to...no, that's just silly. What about....nope....hmmm....
