[quote=Anonymous]I just returned from San Francisco where I attended a memorial service. I lived in the Bay Area for several years and went to college there. Each time I'm back there I'm overwhelmed with its beauty and what a fantastic place it is to live. The architecture is gorgeous, with a great blend of older housing stock that is remarkably well preserved as well as edgy modern buildings. The park that stretches through the city like Central Park in NYC is heavenly. Every corner brings something worth photographing given the way the hills provide views and the way the light shines there at different times of day. You won't find a better selection of foods from around the world anywhere else. You won't find the racial and ethnic diversity among its residents in any other major US city. The cultural and artistic offerings are world class. And within an hour or two you can be in a Redwood forest, the mountains, or a beach. Or in wine country! It's amazing.

You should also visit Santa Fe. It's got natural beauty, history, cultural diversity, and great architecture. It's a performing and visual arts mecca, and a foodie heaven.

Chicago is worth visiting, but don't go in the hottest part of summer or in the winter.

Los Angeles is truly an amazing city, but I think it's hard for a visitor to appreciate all it has to offer and to get around there without an insider guide. If you ever have someone from there invite you, you should go.

I've never visited Portland, so I can't say whether it's worthwhile to visit. I do hope to visit Charleston, SC.

IMO, the other cities could be missed. Dallas, Houston, Seattle, Raleigh, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Detroit, etc... [/quote]
