I’ve lived in Henderson, NV for most of my life and don’t quite know why it’s on this list. My son, his wife and I went for a walk last night in an extremely interesting park/trail in a wash with abundant desert vegetation and amenities such as sports courts, amphitheaters, dog parks etc. Henderson has many urban parks for all sorts of activities including mountain biking and climbing. And, truthfully, you can’t separate it from Las Vegas for entertainment. Of which, Las Vegas calls itself the adult entertainment capital of the World. This fact is arguable, of course, but can be justified.
Dismal Swamp/Chesapeake VA is the ABSOLUTE BEST! You just need to do it by boat. We’ve done it 4 times, and loved every minute! Stop at the Welcome Center and the State Park buildings for cool info. Amazing to find this next to Norfolk VA.
It’s had that name for at least 50 years. I grew up in Kokomo 50 miles due north of Indy and moved to Denver Colorado only to return a few years ago. Culture shock is putting it mildly and not a lot has changed in the 45 or so years I was gone. Being bored isn’t even the worst part, it’s the crappy weather no matter what time of year. It’s humid and hot all summer with 2 weeks of autumn that is nice and then gray and ugly til spring for 6 windy weeks then it rains
We do have a lot of fairs and festivals and car shows though, might be the DIY/craft capital of the nation.lol
I’m surprised not to see Plymouth Rock in Plymouth MA. Soooooo underwhelmed to the point of laughable.
Been to Anchorage and thought it was a very funky place, with its own vibe. Like a Greenwhich Village in the arctic. Beautiful up there, they have outdoor markets, freshest salmon on earth – you can catch ’em with a net. Bring it in to decent restaurant and have them cook it up. This is the best place imaginable for this. About 20 years or more I went there and although I would never buy one (remember this is 20 or more years), there were animal furs of all sorts that were very, very expensive. I had to touch some of them, as they were hanging in shops or stores all over the place. It was the agony and the ecstasy combined. Also, you can take a boat and try to sail the fjords.
I have been to about half the locations on the list and agree they were boring.
Seems that judging whether a place is boring or not depends on the number of music venues and restaurants. There is so much more to life than just those two things.
I agree, Ft Wayne is boring x 10. In addition the downtown area at night has quite a few people of questionable character panhandling.
Cheyenne, WY? I’ve spent lots of time there. Nice people, great food, and tons of stuff to do.
