Philadelphia:
The birthplace of the "United States of America."
Valley Forge National Park:
Astoundingly significant location in US history, but when you get right down to it, nothing happened there. Washington's army hung out, and then wandered up to Trenton. It's an astonishingly large space of fairly virgin land (considering it's proximity to overdeveloped areas), and you can wander anywhere.

In NJ:
The Clinton Mill is one of the most oft-photographed sites in the country.
Pineys.
Everything you can read about in Weird New Jersey
The natural home of cranberries.



Just a few things off the top of my head, I guess.

My favorite parts of NorCal: vineyards, hills, mountains, clean air (my portion of the half-state), used to have MarineWorld, which was cool pre-roller coasters. Oak trees, coastline, redwoods. Tahoe.

 

[Moonbeam]

HotChic, you must have loved Marine World to have pulled that out of so distant a past. I used to have an annual pass and spent lots ot time playing around in there. You could her the lions roar miles away in the subburbs, they say. It would be really cool to sit on your front porch and listen to lions, kind of like stirring up dim impressions of the chimp inside.

 

[KokomoGST]

Home of the original cool kat, ol' Blue-Eyes himself... & a man called the Boss... and the only other real place to gamble at casinos on the East Coast...
We also grow the tastiest, meatiest, sweetest beefsteak tomatoes in the world

I'm surprised the Illinois booster didn't mention that they have the best sweet corn in the world and Chicago-style pizza. Food... yum.


EDIT: I forgot to mention... our hot chicks will beat up your hot chicks anyday

 

[Azraele]

Crewe, VA: The Oliver Mansion if you're into ghost stories. Not much else here though.
