I love almost everywhere- cities, plains, coasts, mountains. I'm in Texas and i like seeing the diversity in terrain, people, and general vibe you encounter in different areas.

Boston. That’s why I moved here. In college I took a few road trips to Boston and just loved everything about the place and vowed to move here. My first few jobs out of college were all about the location: moving closer

I really liked Idaho for the hiking. That's a far West as I've been and I'm hoping to explore the Pacific Northwest someday

Outside of my own city, I would have to say central New Hampshire is a hot spot for me. It might be my nostalgia, as friends and I made an annual ski pilgimage to North Conway for a decade. Every fall now I take a drive up that way before the leaf peepers flock in, enjoy some local beer, stop at my favorite general store, drive the Kanc.

I have the confidence to know that the rich and powerful are taken care of while the rest of us get fuck all.

Being able to actually have freedom of speech without being jailed or executed (China, Russia, North Korea, Saudi).

The part in my living room where everyone leaves me the fuck alone.

NYC has a lot of everything, is walkable, and has mass transit. I don't think I'd want to live anywhere else here.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

+1 for NYC is best C

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Think Acela. I can hop a train and be on Manhattan in a few hours enjoying everything nyc has to offer, then be back to enjoy my walkable city with mass transit

Why da fuq are people so very eager to downvote everything? It's your personal preference, affecting nobody else, and you are allowed to enjoy things!:-P

The Pacific Northwest, love the west coast overall, but Seattle and Portland over the summer are magical.

If you’re visiting for nature, there’s no place like Yellowstone.

For culture I’d say NY, but I’m biased.

[–] odium@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

For nature, you could also drive from Yellowstone to Glacier National Park and check that out too. Utah has some pretty unique nature like Canyonlands, Zion, and Bryce Canyon.

I love the Jersey shore, especially going down to Asbury Park for an outdoor concert at the Stone Pony. I usually make a day of it and hang out on the beach for a couple of hours, then I grab a bite to eat on the boardwalk and maybe a couple of beers before walking right across the street to the venue. What’s really cool is there’s a couple of spots on the boardwalk you can see the stage from for free. At the very least you can hear the show free of charge, even if you’re too late for a free view.

i loke the downstair area of my house. my house has one step in it, so it is downstair (singular).

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Seriously, I never thought I’d consider stairs an issue, barring mobility limitations, but it’s really nice not having any. If I go down my one step, I have a huge family room with cathedral ceiling, giant sofas, big screen TVs, counters with gaming PCs. It’s the best

I once drove through the Flint Hills in Kansas during a controlled burn, it was beautiful. Everyone always says Kansas is flat, it's a hell of a lot hillier than the parts of Ohio I'm used to.

[–] faltryka@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Most of western Kansas is super flat. The flint hills have their own attraction though for sure, I didn’t expect to see someone mention them!

The huge varieties of cultures, people and cuisines that can be found in some of our cities.

The beaches of Florida

Colorado. The mountains are beautiful, especially on some of those back roads.
