    Was talking with Mrs SPD and somehow we ended up here...

    Suppose you were talking with someone who had never visited the USA and wanted your recommendation of 4 cities.

    Which cities would you pick for them to visit to give them the best overview of our country?

    (I'll share my picks later in the thread.)

    Tough question. I can't really say a city unless I've been there because otherwise I'm just guessing. But out of cities I have been - Seattle, Boston, Vegas and Kansas City.

    4 is not enough to cover the country..
    Portland
    San Diego
    New Orleans
    Washington DC
    New York City
    Chicago
    Las Vegas
    7 covers a lot...could easily go 8 and add Savanah Georgia or Philly or maybe Boston

    I picked Kansas City not because I liked it, just wanted that person to see how much the middle of the USA sucks.

    Bad dog! No PNW means they miss out on the best part of the USA.

    The PNW was the best place in the world,,, untill
    The weird people moved in, and completely ruined it.

    They can cheat and go to Vancouver BC and Victoria, still the PNW, not the US.
