This only half counts, since it hasd US and Canadian side, but I vote for Niagara Falls. It was even too tacky for my kids!
|
Branson, Mo. and Gatlinburg, TN have to be the two biggest tourist traps in the U.S.!
|
For the cheesiest place in the world you don't have to go anywhere. Just stay home!
|
In Monroe Wisconsin every other year they have cheese days. It is huge and has all the trappings of a cheesiest tourest trap. Check out the queening of the pork queens, see the biggest wheel of cheese ect.
|
Cherokee, NC. Nothing like watching the guy 'chiefing' it up (dancing in the street) The tacky tourist shops and all the other stuff I've tried to forget.<BR><BR>Gatilinburg, Tenn. (the other side of the Great Smokies National Park) is also a tourist trap.<BR><BR>South of the Border isn't as big as Cherokee/Gaitlinburg, but it might be the tackiest per square inch place around.
|
San Francisco<BR>Colonial Williamsburg, VA
|
That would be The Mystery Spot in the U.P. of Michigan. On the way north make sure you stop for a "FREE VISIT" to Sea Shell City. T's' nothing more than a cruddy gift shop. They advertise The Giant Man-Killing Clam!!!! though.

Obviously many of you don't know the definition of "cheesy." It's okay, old timers, but you'd better let the people under 35 handle this one.<BR><BR>Williamsburg is NOT cheesy. Neither is San Francisco, for heavens sake. <BR><BR>Gatlinburg IS cheesy. As is Panama City Beach, Florida. <BR><BR>The most cheesy tourist destination, in my opinion, is Graceland, but the original questioner has already been there. <BR> <BR>Also any NASCAR event is a good cheesy festival of tackiness. <BR><BR>Where can you go, RLeone? How about the strip on Panama City Beach? VERY cheesy, as are the cheese nightclubs Spinnaker & La Vela. My college friends and I have done "cheese" night at these two clubs. Much fun.<BR><BR>The big Sartre question: If you're knowingly at a cheese destination to enjoy the cheesiness, does that make you cheesy??
|
My vote's for South of the Border, S.C., most definitely!!!<BR>And, no, I don't think visiting a place you know is cheesy makes you necessarily a cheesy person. Just means you recognize and enjoy a bit of cheesiness every now and again. :)<BR>Been to Wall Drug, S.D. also, but it's not nearly as cheesy as South of the Border.<BR>Stinky
|
Another vote for Dollywood and Pigeon Forge!
|
Cheezie -<BR><BR>First vote- Niagra <BR>Falls<BR><BR>Ocean City, Maryland<BR>Myrtle Beach, SC<BR>Disney-Micky loves cheese<BR>Newark, New Jersey
|
SOUTH OF THE BORDER in South Carolina!!
|
Wall Drugs, SD
|
Salem, Massachuesetts
|
South of the Border, Dillon, SC. This is the most horrible place on earth. Pick it and you will NEVER be asked to organize a trip for your friends again!!
|
I am indeed overwhelmed by the cheesy locations I can cheese (er, choose)from. You are all a big help because our annual trips are turning into a huge competition in the group.<BR>I guess we appreciate a little cheese once in a while. We don't mock those who enjoy going to these places while visiting (o.k. maybe we do a little), we just have a lot of great memories seeing something not in our normal choice of activity.<BR>Please keep 'em coming and I really appreciate your replies.
|
No ifs, ands or buts - South of the Border. South Carolina (right below North carolina border).
|
What is South of the Border? A Disneyesque-Tiajuana thing?
|
Another vote for Wall Drug. <BR>(You can see the interesting Badlands too while you're there, for a little non-cheese moment.)
|
Don't think this has been listed yet:<BR>ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY!<BR><BR>Think Old Ladies with raspy voices from smoking a pack a day, with BIG hair, stretch pants and plastic cups of coins!<BR><BR>CHEESE GALORE!
