Thinking about visiting the States

[AreaCode707]

Drove out to Bodega bay, then north on Hwy 1.

Ah, not quite as pretty. But then, I like vineyards more than coast, and that drive from Bodega Bay is pretty long.

I'm Canadian and I love visiting the U.S. almost every year for 30 days. My parents have
a place in Winter Haven, Florida. Florida is great in the winter but with the heat and humidity in the summer you'd be inside all the time.

Make sure you visit Chicago. I have relatives there and it's my favourite place of all time.
I've been there dozens of times and have never had a problem with anybody. It's safe for such a large city. It's also the most American of U.S. big cities.

I'm not sure what that means.

Chicago always seemed to me like it's trying to be the New York of the Midwest. For better or worse it seems to have that same feel.

I'm not as crazy about Chicago as the poster above. I just don't find that much there of interest compared to other cities.

It's home to two signature food items - the Chicago style hot dog and the deep dish pizza - but that only goes so far.

Of course there's plenty of neat stuff to explore like any big city, but...

Also I hear the violence has increased a lot?

So would you mind spreading the word that we aren't all just rednecks with shotguns screaming "Amurica!!!!" and shooting at things? We're having some PR issues at the moment.

Sure, he can, for the US. Not for Mississippi.

Hi guys. Can you help me locate a store that sells a Nokia wireless charger in san Francisco?

Thanks in advance

When in doubt, a nice hotel concierge can often answer.

PLEASE do NOT visit NY, specifically NYC. It is one of the three most USELESS states in the union, along with CA and MA. Visit colorado, smoke some pot.

Bad advice. What are you, a tea party 'hate those librul states' type?

See mah trailer park - we got new plumbin! I mean, really. CA is the best state IMO.

Uhh, legalized pot-smokin' is about as "liberal" as it gets.

I got some ribs at Amy Ruth's in Harlem. But I didn't go to a open fire BBQ.

South of I-10 isn't so bad.

Whoa, north of the Mason Dixon...surprised you didn't die.

Same. Self employed makes me more $$ but I get a lot less days off. 6 this year, maybe 1 more. Dang, I want to spend 2 weeks at Yellowstone with the fam.

North of the Mason Dixon=Yankees. And consumables are questionable.

Glad for you. Bet our "system" of delinquents would make you become a tradesman.

The South has its problems, but it's know for its delicious, fattening cuisine. It's assumed that Northerners are skinny and healthy because there's nothing worth eating up there (besides pizza).
