[quote=Anonymous]Lancaster, PA.  I was there recently for a soccer tournament and it was unexpectedly lovely.  It's certainly not one of the loveliest towns I've ever visited - and probably not a place I would make a special trip to see again - but it far exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations and I think that's the point of this thread.

We stayed downtown, and I was pleasantly surprised that there were tons of (quite good) restaurants to walk to.  There were also lots of people out and about and that gave it a vibrant feel.  And the Central Market (apparently America's oldest farmer's market) was terrific.  I suspect that the outer areas of Lancaster are probably not nearly as charming, but the downtown area was very nice.  I'd certainly be happy to go back for another soccer tournament (and probably will!).

Some of the towns mentioned here are unquestionably lovely (to me, at least), and definitely exceed the charms of Lancaster, PA.  But I fully expected them to be so charming.  For example, Whitefish, MT; Sedona, AZ; Hanalei, HI; and Durango, CO.  So, I'd file those under "lovely" but not "unexpectedly lovely."  I'm definitely making a note of many of the other towns mentioned here, though![/quote]
