I love the area from Shorewood (practically in the city) up to Port Washington. Also love the architecture in the Wauwatosa area, great old cozy stone homes when people didn't need to raise kids in homes the size of the palace.
Not familiar with the other suburbs.

I went to Marquette and grabbed the best woman in the state of Wisconsin. We live in Vermont now.

First of all I have never regreted traveling anywhere- with that being said here are my picks.

Overrated. Atlanta, Great night life but little else, except of cours MLK Jr. memorial.

Underrated. DC, I now it gets a lot of hype but it is truely amazing. I go once a year to visit my wifes best friend and am always excited. So much to sea, good seafood, hotties in business suits all over the place and great nightlife.

IMHO-
Underrated:
Baltimore-great neighborhoods,museums,the National Aquarium, seafood (crabs!!!),symphony,etc.
Overrated:
Nashville- too much "country"

I agree mersingaly, baltimore is very underrated. The fells point area is incredible.

IMHO, only people who don't know much about Boston would say there is little to do here. From the Freedom trail to the quaint Beacon Hill and North End neighborhoods, to the pretty parks, the world-class museums, theaters, Quincy Market, restaurants, the top-notch colleges and all all that neighboring Cambridge offers, I can't imagine not finding things to do.

Sure, driving in Boston is crazy, but we have an extensive public transit network too, so you can leave your car at home. (Just don't pahk it in Hahvahd Yahd!)

Every city I've visited in the U.S. has its own appeal, the one exception being Hartford, CT, which struck me as completely charmless, but that was back in 80s and things might have changed.

Chicago tops my list of cities I've never seen but heard wonderful things about. Hope to go there soon!

I can't think of a city that has more to do than Boston. It so compact and easy to get around and the history vibe is everywhere. It's definitely one of my favorite places.

Over; Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Good God.

Under: Sacramento IS cool
Lodi....you're singing the Creedence song now, I know...but there are some very good wineries there, never the Disney atmosphere of Napa. Berghold winery...awesome

That brings me to another rant.Lots of the entire Napa Valley is overrated and overblown. People envision beautiful mountains, rolling vineyards and when you get there it's tour buses, limos and drunken bachelorette parties, bumper to bumper traffic, etc.You really have to get off the beaten path.

Linda,

When we were in Napa, I loved the Mondavi winery tour but I thought that the area was so congested. I preferred Sonoma. It has what you describe: the rolling hills and winding roads. Much more scenic.

LOL LLindaC....I liked Napa but for rolling hills, mountains and vineyards I head to Italy! ;)

I'm kinda nervous about Charlotte being considered overrated as I am moving there from St. Louis in about two weeks and have yet to visit! I have heard nothing but good things about it, so I'm looking forward to the experience.

Oh, and I think my hometown of St. Louis is underrated! Its hardly ever mentioned here. Sure, the downtown can be a bit drab, but there are some great neighborhoods and lots of terrific restaurants.
