    In Arizona, besides my residing here, other attractions inslude the Grand Canyon, multiple caverns throughout the state, wonderful camping places in the north, and a strip club with a cow on the sign.

    Cross streets? I have yet to see this!

    Haha! I have seen this! It gave me hope that one day, I too, could dance naked under the cow for dolla bills!

    My favorite thing to do in GA is hiking at the state parks. As far as attractions: Atlanta has an aquarium, Six Flags, World of Coke and Savannah has a nice historical downtown and of course the beaches.

    When there isn't much else to do and a lot of depressed people, good beer develops ;)

    Oberon? Hell yeah; it might as well be based on the amount of places that make it a party.

    Colorado and California people all seem happy... trying to figure out how that works :(
  • massachusetts checking in here. boston's our biggest city...

    I'll tell you why we're happy in Colorado - we have four distinct seasons. It gets hot in the summer, cooler in the fall, cold in the winter (to give you a little perspective on how great summer really is), then it starts warming up in spring, and YAY it's SUMMER again!! We have a lot of hardcore badasses that don't stop being active just because it's cold (and we don't have a lot of humidity, which I think helps the outdoors stuff in the cold), and as cliched as it is, I think we really live by the mentality that we work hard and play harder. We take care of our state and our buddies, and have as much frucking fun as humanly possible.

    Come visit. I mean it. I love it here so much.

    MIGHIGAN: The Great Lakes (and tons of other awesome smaller lakes), amazingly beautiful places in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

    We gave the country (& world) Motown, Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Madonna & Eminem (ok, sorry about some of those), Kellogg's cereals, some damed cool cars and plenty of other things I can't quite think of right now..

    Unfortunately, we also claim the top two most dangerous cities in the US (Flint & Detroit) :mad:
