The 10 most exciting cities in America (?!)

 

Validation for #1.  LOL.

[hk47]

I would guess Oakland is exciting in one way or another.

[Tank]

haven't read the list yet, but i'm assuming pico rivera, for the fourth year in a row, is again number one.

[mrwicked]

movato real estate is a bay area company, so there's some bias.

 

but oakland has really nice parts (rockridge, trestle glen, montclair village, crocker highlands, lake merrit, etc)

and really shady parts.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Oakland probably seems very exciting.....as long as your name is Snake Plisskin.

Not amused

Whoa. Boston is an amazing city.

[St1ck]

Whoa. Boston is an amazing city.

 

 

This is true.

[Socaliente]

Oakland is exciting, I make sure to carry concealed everytime I visit

[Blarg]

Calscuf when you actually travel to Boston and spend a week there then please tells us all about what you don't like about it.

[NJHalo]

Other than ALL of their pro sports teams, and their fans, Boston is a kick ass city.

 

I am about a 3.5 hour ride from there, so it makes a good weekend getaway.

[Lhalo]

Boston is awesome. Good food in Little Italy, the back bay is beautiful, the sports fans are dedicated (albeit drunks), and it's pretty much the college capitol of the world so there are plenty of places to party. Tons of history including the Freedom Trail, the USS Constitution and the country's oldest subway system. It gets colder than a Salem witch's titty in the winter but it's full of culture and there are many sights to see and things to do.

[ScottT]

Boston is great if you like cemeteries. 

[arch stanton]

Boston is cool. I do not like Philly at all. Haven't found anything interesting or exciting about the Bay area since the Dead Kennedys.

[Tank]

Lexington and Concord and Quincy Market are great places.

I was always impressed with how clean the city was, but that was back in the early 80s and I don't know if its still that way.

Oh, and there's a dunkin donuts about every 50 feet.

[sneaky_flute]

awful list. i'm from oakland and while it's gotten a bad rap, i wouldn't call it exciting. seattle is depressing as shit. where the hell is austin?

[RallyMo]

I agree with the flutester.

 

This list is absolute BS if Austin isn't on it. It's a spectacular city.

Yeah, that's who I thought was going to be towards the top.  New Orleans also.  Although more for just the drunken partying than anything.

[ScottT]

I was joking about Boston.  I want to go back, but the cemetery thing was weird. Boston and Philadelphia both have a lot of historical sites and are great to visit, especially if you've never been to such a place. Not sure about the "exciting" part.  Philadelphia was kinda scary and I only ventured about a half block from my hotel... and in was a nice hotel.  So, maybe it belongs, it a twisted way.  Haven't been to Seattle in quite a while.  Probably doing it this year.  May get to Milwaukee, which would mean I've been to every city on the list except Atlanta... because I'm not counting the airport.  

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I've always wanted to go to Boston.

 

Love NYC, Philly is so so, so is DC, but I guess its improved since I moved away from there.

[RallyMo]

New Orleans is awesome even if you're not doing drunken partying.

 

The food in New Orleans is AMAZING.

[1nutkruk]

This confirms Oakland as the most exciting.
