What's your favorite area in your state?

[MetalMat]

I'll go out on a limb and say Austin. This city rules

 

[vi edit]

If you like "city stuff" it's tough to beat Chicago. Sports, museums, awesome food, really interesting architecture, and fairly friendly people as far as a big city goes.

Outdoors wise, Starved Rock is pretty nice:

But there's some great boating/fishing/camping stuff downstate too.

 

[Saint Nick]

Probably the Niobrara River.

 

[Linflas]

The Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley.

Garden of the Gods was pretty neat.

As for Connecticut, it's just a nice place in general

 

[tokie]

Toronto. There really isn't much else in Ontario.

For my old home BC, I would have to say either the Gulf Islands or the Okanagan in the summer.

 

[adairusmc]

Paulina Lake/Newberry Caldera.

 

[rcpratt]

Torch Lake.

 

[Avalon]

I got nothin in Florida.

As I have no state I'll go with country. My answer: London!!!!!!! More specifically, Shorditch.

sadly, austin is infected with douchenozzles and food trucks. the only good part of the city anymore is texas memorial stadium.

I live in California so there's so many because this is the greatest state for natural beauty.

 

[KillerCharlie]

North Cascades national park. Most rugged and beautiful mountains in the continental US.

 

[Pardus]

The bums urinating on the subway, every tourist knows this.

BOOM. Answer there.

Almost feels like a cheat, since Chicago in itself is so neighborhood-y so it's like several different cities clumped into one, IMO.

You lie, all the FIBs come up to Wisconsin when they want to get out of Chicago. They must own at least half of northern Wisconsin.

I'm not too picky, I like getting out to anywhere north of Madison, especially during the summer.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Olympic peninsula is frigging amazing, but so is the view from St. Helens. Tough call.

 

[stargazr]

Hill Country

 

[SynthDude2001]

Definitely Austin... only place in the state I don't refuse to live in after I graduate.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Ehh, I guess it's Wauconda, which is where I live. Good library, lots of parks, decently big forest preserves, close to even more forest preserves, nice little lake, affordable to live in, snowmobile trails, friendly people, decent restaurants, quiet, semi-rural...
