May 23, 20179 yr The worst tourist trap in every state Ky is the Ark. @Randy Parker is not going to like Ohio's
May 23, 20179 yr There are hundreds of ways you can celebrate the holidays. Waiting in a line and paying money to see the filming location of "A Christmas Story" should not be one of them. While the movie may be great, the basic house it was filmed in and the museum dedicated to it aren't anything to stop your car for. False...

May 23, 20179 yr Author For what's it is worth. i think I have been to 6 or 7 of the places listed. Graceland is the worse.
May 23, 20179 yr I suppose I should be embarrassed that I've been to 21 of those -- although proudly NOT Kentucky's (nor Ohio's). I have been to the "tourist trap" in: Arizona California Connecticut Florida Georgia Hawaii Illinois Indiana Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Minnesota Nevada New Jersey New York Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Washington Whew....
May 23, 20179 yr Been to the Alamo, I didn't find it a waste and thought it pretty cool while also not being what I expected. Now, I didn't go out of my way to visit it, I was in town for a conference and hotel was very close to it and I may think a little differently if I specifically traveled to San Antonio just to see it. But I found it interesting.

But I found it interesting. I've been a lifetime history buff. The three times I've been to the Alamo I remain in awe of the sacrifice made there and Walking where they were.

What is wrong with the ARK?
May 23, 20179 yr Georgia-World of Coca Cola-I agree Hawaii-Waikiki Beach-disagree wholeheartedly. But my opinion may be skewed because I stayed at The Royal Hawaiian and the beach was amazing. And I'm not a beach person. Illinois-Chicago's Magnificent Mile Louisiana-Bourbon Street-disagree again. I had some of the most fun, best food and strongest drinks of my life on Bourbon Street Nevada-Venetian Gondolas. Could not agree more, and pretty much think anything on the strip is overrated, although I did enjoy Freemont St, and do love to pretend I'm in Ocean's Eleven and stand in front of the fountains. New York-Times Square, agree, but still had to do it. North Carolina-The Blowing Rock-Haven't been, but The Blowing Rock In & Spa is an Historic Hotel of America member and I plan to visit.
May 24, 20179 yr Been to 5 and getting ready to go back to one for the 5th time. FLORIDA-Disagree HAWAII-Agree NEW YORK-You can't go to NYC and not go. PENNSYLVANIA-At least it's free TEXAS-Disagree And I disagree about the one they named for Alabama. The Vulcan Statue in Birmingham has this hands down. it cost 2 bucks just to get into the park where it's located 20 years ago. I was so underwhelmed I didn't even get out of the car much less pay whatever it was to actually go in it.
