Five cities you recommend when foreigners to visit the U.S.

Cities?

New York

Seattle

Miami

There are many others that should make the list, but those three will give a good base. I would suggest a few cities from the central US since they tend to differ from coastal cities. Denver and St. Louis would be good places to start.

But "real American" life.... if you drive coast to coast (I recommend it) you will see nothing but farmland for two solid days.

If you want to see gold mining, skiing in summer, cattle ranches, shale oilfields, historic trains, greatest beers in the world, and along with some of the coolest people ever (minus their football fans) come to Colorado. I've lived here three years and I'm still amazed by what I find.

Take it from a former nomadic plumber that lived in 7 states and visited 28 of them. 

 

 

Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville are one of the best cities ever. Charlotte is home to me. Even from Mexico. That is where i'd want to raise kids and grow old with my wife. Ah...what could have been.

    • He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit. 
    • The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
