Well, I will do my hometown of Tampa instead of my REAL hometown of Cardiff, which I am ashamed to know not nearly as much about.

1. If clubbing is your thing, Tampa's got your back. After all, the state is here for tourism n stuff like that. Our two nightlife districts offer different venues; Channelside is more upscale, and Ybor City more hard core. Ybor City is like Tampa's French quarter. Its a Cuban establishment, ut the architecture is very similar to that of New Orleans. We host the second largest national parada behind Mardi Gras called Gaspirlla, which is the invasion of Tampa by pirates. Each year, 100s of people get drunk, dress up like pirates, get on the pirate ship, ride up the bay, and invade the city with a 3 hour long parade. Its pretty wild.

2. If Rollercoasters and the like is for you, we have Busch Gardens. Its one of the most popular parks in the country, and is extremely high among the ratings critics offer it. It features several rollercoaster, including the new "Sheikra", which is the first coaster to be built in North America to feature a straight down, 90 degree drop. The park also offers incredible vistas of Serengdi Plains, Reserves, and animal attaractions.

3. We also have an adjacent water park called Adventure Island, which is fun. Also, loads of parks are only 45 minutes away in Orlando.

4. Our beaches are top notch. Dozens of miles of resorts and the like are renowed by most, and our beaches are consistently rated in the top ten in the country, and, occasionally, the world.

5. The Florida Aquarium is a good lot of fun for those interested in that sort of thing. Its the biggest in the Southeast, and the building alone is worth the price of admission - its an architectual masterpiece.

I would go on, but im tired right now. Overall, you get the idea so far. Tampa, and all of Florida, is a resort place. We offer more attractions than any other place on the planet, I am almost sure.

The coolest places to go in Marshfield, MO, population of less than 10,000: (In order of coolness)

1. Wal-Mart (Half the teen population works there anyway)
2. McDonalds (Right on Wal-Mart's parking lot, this is where the other half of the teen population works)
3. The brand spanking new... Rib Crib / KFC ... It's cool!
4. Some Chinese restaurant (afterall, cashew chicken was invented here, seriously)
5. The school parking lot (Yeah for loitering!)
6. A&W / Long John's (right next door to the Rib Crib / KFC)
7. The Hubble Telescope replica in the town square (but why is it there is the real question)
8. The City Jail (the prisoners are real nice and always wave at you with only one finger for some reason)
9. A Backcounty road (races are all the rage)
10. The Local & Only Hotel (you can check in and use their pool! )

This is a great place to visit and is on the 101st mile of the adjacent highway that also goes to St. Louis and Springfield, MO!

Well I live in a college town so here goes( IN no order)

3.Hamburg Pavillion(sort of a HUGE outside mall with everything from stores to resteraunts...ect

i also like to go to prospect avenue and pick up a few prostitutes from time to time.....good times in cleveland....

mmm pants.

well let see:
IN NO ORDER

Revolution St. to get drunk..............thats it

ooooh!! i forgot, museum of the Californias on the Cultural Center!!

Unless you like contemporary installation art? Then your BEST bet is actually host's hometown fo Pittsburg...and The Mattress Factory. Eagly, if you;ve been living there and haven't gone I will personally *escort* you by the pinched ear. It is the best!

If you're looking for east antiquities, than europe isn't your bad either....you need to go to the sources, not that you can right now 'cause they're too busy blwoing eachother up, but otherwise you need to go to egypt or Iraq, Iran, Israel, etc. Outside of that, you want Egyptian Art you need to bo to the Boston MFA. If you want Sumarian Art, etc, than the British Museum (You're right about that Lecter) but also UPENN Archeological Museum and to a much lesser extent UofC Anrcheology museum.

Want European Art from about 1350 or later/ Than yep...best bet is any of the biggies. My favorites are Kunsthistorisches Museum and The Vatican Collections for pre-modern, and Reina Sophia and Center Pompidou for Modern Art.

In the U.S. though you'll find some of the best Medieval Manuscript collections outside of France (Napoleon sure did build those up) in NY if you go to the Morgan Library. And The Philly Art Museum has a great collection (I like it better than the MET). Go to Santa Fe for a smaller exhibition museum associated with the American Indian Art University there, and Lowell, MA, has some excellent textile museums and exhibitions. I could go on for a bit more...

@Termi, I've heard good stuff about the Cleveland Art Museum, and surprisingly, the Toledo one as well.

Okay...I'll stop raving now.

Well, the thing is, Dolce, that I have never been a fan of contemporary art. AT ALL. Most of it, I just don't get. I am not speaking of Dali/Picasso modern art, but much rather of Pollock modern art. I don't like it.

I do love old school. Give me Michelangelo, Crivelli etc. and I'm happy.

More than that, though, I love Museums of Archeology and History. Especially Roman/Greek one. I usually never miss an exhibition when we get one here.

British Museum, National Gallery in London, Louvre, Hungarian National Museum... I've been in all of those. Loved them. I don't think that anything in the USA can top that, but I wouldn't expect it to be topped there. I mean all the ancient cultures that I am interested in were in Europe or at least closer to Europe than to the USA. If I was looking for a good collection of Native American History, I would not assume that the best one is to be found in Europe either

Is Revolution St. the one huge and looooong street in the center of Tijuana?

Did you see the Ram in the Thicket over at British Museum (other one is at UPENN). Its my favorite work from the Tombs of Ur? 2500 BC! I'm not as big a fan of greek/roman as I ought to be. i think I've seen too much of it. I like earlier and further east.



And I am not that big a fan of "Modern" art either (50's, 60's, and 70's) but I do think by the 80's things started to change.

well its not huge, but yes!!
they remodel it! now its pretty!!

Does it have some kind of a metal arch in the end of it? I am asking because I have been to Tijuana in April.

To be honest, I am not too fond of any 20th century art.

I have seen the Ram in the Thicket. Seriously, I was so upset...I got to go to the British Museum only on the last day of my stay in London and I only had a bit over an hour for the whole museum. Obviously, I only got to see around 10% of the whole thing, but at least I managed to cover the whole Egyptian Section. I spent 3-4 hours in the Louvre and that was by far not enough time either. Seriously, Louvre is huge, bigger than any museum I have ever been to in my life. It is unbelievable and hard to describe how BIG it is. However, I heard that St. Petersburg's Hermitage is even bigger. I hope I'll get to go to that one one day.

yes, the remodel streets just finished like 2 months ago!
the arch thing has like 1 or 1 1/2 years

Hermitage is the biggest, I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

The Louvre sucked.

Loved the Louvre. Even though Mona Lisa isn't worth the hype (and the crowds).

ummmmm

Where would YOU like to go now? MUAHA


In no particular order

1. The Beach- Specifically Mission Bay. Amazing beach town and Belmont Park is right next to it. Its home to the Big Dipper, the oldest rollercoaster in So.Cal. This is where MTV's San Diego Beach House took place. Beaches are nice and cool, and its home to San Diego's prettiest.

2. Coronado- Whether its to visit the beaches, take a adventerous bike ride or just die from shopping. Its a town in san Diego that has breathtaking views, excellent tourist spots and gorgeous shopping districts. A must see upon visit.

3. Balboa Park- A attraction built in 1937 for the World Fair, its various museums, gardens and tourist hot spots make it perfect for a visit. Truly peaceful. Some good places to see are The Botanical Gardens, Ruben H Fleet Science Center, Aerospace Museam, The Amphitheater and Natural History Museum of Man. Terrific, peaceful place.

4. The Gaslamp Quarter- THE HOT SPOT for late night clubbin. The party attraction located in the heart of downtown, a majority of the "clubbin" from The Real World took place hear. Also a delight to visit during the day. It host various resturants, galleries and shopping quarters.

5. Horton Plaza- The 3 story mall located near The Gaslamp Quarter. Coming here in the winter, you may have the chance to skate on one of the few outdoor ice skating rinks in all of So.Cal. The Mall has some of the most original stores, and if YOU MUST GO TO THE MALL, this is the one to go to.

6. Carlsbad- Its really a small city, north of San Diego City. Its home to legoland, which is a terrific place to visit with the children. Its also home to the beautiful flower fields that blossom every spring. The shopping here is very high class, and the resturants are just as classy.

7. Tijuana- Yes, its not part of San Diego, but its 5 minutes away. My dad works at the border so make sure to say hi! Be sure to bring your passport and identification or you wont see America ever again. Its best to come here at night, during the weekend, when the clubbing and sex are at a peak. If you come back too drunk, they wont let you cross the border, so dont, If your visiting with the family, come here during the day to experience the rich Mexican culture(and dont eat the seafood..TRUST ME!).

8. Disneyland/Universal Studios/ETC- They're only 2 hours away from each other, and the drive is worth it! Stay overnight in one of the many luxiorious hotels. Its not exactly in san diego anymore, but they're within driving distance. Do I really need to describe Disneyland?

9. Sea World- One of the big parks in San Diego, Sea World is home to the ORIGINAL shamu. It also is home to various sea critters, and some whales. All these animals are showcased in shows, shown on your park map. Admission is pretty cheap, but food is not! BRING YOUR OWN FOOD! With the newly added Shipwreck Rapids and Journey to Atlantis, its a place for Teens, Parents and the whole family.

10. Old Town- Take the trolly. Its not a true San Diego visit without the trolly. Old Town host some of the oldest buildings in San Diego and the Windsor House(I think thats what its called). Often hailed as the most haunted sight in all of America. Take various trails and such that will lead you to different buildings and historic landmarks.

Boy, I know more about San Diego then I know. HAHA.
