Top Ten – U.S. Cities I’ve Never Visited

Tony Morgan got me thinking about the major U.S. cities that I’ve never visited. I consider myself pretty well traveled. I’ve been out of the country over a dozen times and traveled all around the United States. That’s why I was surprised how many major U.S. cities I’ve never visited. So here’s the “Top Ten” (in no particular order):

  1. Boston, MA – So close, yet so far away. Every year since I was young my family has visited my uncle in Litchfield, CT. Kristin and I are going to Connecticut the first of the year…We’ll have to make it happen!
  2. Houston, TXI’ve actually never been to the longhorn state…I’ve passed through the airports, but that’s it.
  3. Dallas, TX – Again, never “Messed with Texas”. I recently almost missed a flight out of Dallas. We actually only made the flight by 60 seconds.
  4. Chicago, IL – I’ve had a connection with this state ever since Bozo the Clown.
  5. San Fransisco, CA – I would love t o see the Golden Gate Bridge in person. I hear San Fransisco is beautiful, and I believe it. Plus, I really want to see the Tanner’s town house from “Full House”.
  6. Phoenix, AZ – No real reason, just want to go. I’d love to catch a Sun’s game.
  7. New Orleans, LA – I’d love to check out the jazz scene. There’s nothing better than sitting in a little whole-in-the-wall listening to some unknown totally rock it.
  8. Detroit, MI – I’ll go in the fall, when it’s not quite so cold.
  9. Miami, FL – Quite honestly, I don’t have a huge desire to visit Miami. I just feel like it has to make the list because of it’s status.
  10. Honolulu, HI – Never been to Hawaii, but I love the water so I’m sure it would be amazing!

UPDATE – Apparently I’ve been to Dallas…At least that’s what my dad says.

    jordan-i’ve been to all of those cities and i think Boston is about my fave (san fran a close 2nd-have walked acros the ggb-very cool ) so it’s good that you may get to go soon!

    I would suggest a pass through savannah, Ga. It is old, romantic, and there is tons of history. There are also several beautiful beaches close by. Maybe stop on your way from Miami to Boston.

    Hey man, I’m from the Detroit area. Believe me when I say, there is no reason to go there. I think that Chicago would be the best choice of cities to visit.

    I can’t believe you forgot the binding obligation of Route 66. I know its not a city but for the soul I forfeited it is at least worth the post. Go Suns!

    My dad has some roots in Mass, so I’ve been to Boston many times. Go. It’s old. It’s beautiful. It’s seafood.

    Skip Houston. It’s flat. It’s smog-ish. It’s texmex.

    Live in Dallas. It’s new. It’s beautiful. It’s everything good about Texas.

    Jordan,

    From now on please use a name like “Shay” or “Jordan Shay”…You’re making me think I’ve said things that I haven’t and you’re confusing my readers…Amateur.
