I noticed a lot of you listed Orlando as one of your least favorite cities. I am going to be living there and working at Disney World for an internship for 7 months. Why do you think its such a bad city? Too touristy? Crime? Pollution?

Fave: <BR>San Francisco <BR>New York <BR>both have tons to do, San Francisco is overall cleaner and prettier but New York has even more to see and do and better food. Too bad both are soooo expensive <BR>Carmel (very beautiful) <BR> <BR>Used to like: <BR>Virginia Beach (too touristy in the tacky kinda way, and unfortunately is being taken over by hoodlums from the surrounding area, so I don't like it as much anymore, I'm a sucker for beaches) <BR> <BR>Want to see: <BR>Los Angeles and San Diego...I'll be visiting both in a few weeks <BR>Seattle <BR>Portland <BR>Las Vegas <BR>Orlando <BR>Washington D.C. (I've been to only a couple museums, need to see more then I wont ever need to go again) <BR>Charleston <BR> <BR>Don't like: <BR>Baltimore <BR>Niagara Falls, New York (when they said the Canadian side was prettier, they weren't kidding and that doesnt just apply to the view of the falls, the New York side is a dirty, horrible little town) <BR>Norfolk <BR>Richmond (filthy, smelly, no redeeming qualities) <BR>New Jersey anything <BR>Salinas, CA <BR> <BR>Don't want to see: <BR>Detroid (no explanation should be necessary) <BR>Philadelphia (if its "suburbs" like Conshohocken are so horrible, I don't even want to see how God-forsaken the city is and I'm not a history buff, so I don't really care about the good parts, but I would love a good Philly Cheese Steak) <BR>Houston and Dallas (what's the difference?) <BR>Newark <BR>Atlanta <BR>Pittsburg <BR> <BR>Either I wouldn't mind seeing but would rather go somewhere else or I haven't heard enough bad stuff to declare that I never want to go: <BR>Cleveland <BR>St. Louis <BR>Phoenix <BR>Chicago <BR>New Orleans <BR>Atlantic City <BR>Denver

My favorites: <BR>San Francisco - beautiful, quirky, interesting <BR>Honolulu - spirit of aloha, lovely beaches <BR>New Orleans - music, Southern charm and hospitality <BR>Wonderful food in all three... <BR>Washington, D.C. - museums and history <BR>Santa Fe and Albuquerque - art and sunsets <BR> <BR>I'm not fond of Los Angeles (too smoggy)or Las Vegas (too glitzy). <BR>
