Hometown ;D The Skyway Bridge is impressive. In the same pic where part of it is shown, you can also see the HSBC Arena (now called the First Niagara Center) home to the Buffalo Sabres. Interesting to note also that neither the Buffalo Sabres nor the Buffalo Bills have ever won a single Stanley Cup or Superbowl respectively.  I'd like to think Buffalo got its name from the animal, which used to be the game of choice for the Natives. ;D  The Peace Bridge is amazing to look at, at nighttime. A bright and colorful display of lights, though the wait to get between countries could be a little nicer. Buffalo Wings rock! ;D and btw- City Hall isn't all that "impressive" Great job presenting!  |

LOL I also would like to have different burgers like in Seoul ajjajaja. I mean, I might not like them, but I'd love to be able to choose them |

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! ;D I thought about including the bit about the Sabres and Bills not winning championships. I know fans in Buffalo hate the saying Boy, I Love Losing Super Bowls. As far as I know, the Natives actually knew how to hunt bison (and other species) without killing them off. City hall looked impressive from my computer screen, at least.  Have you been there? |

Buffalo is another city that I've been to. ;D
I find it interesting how it became an important port city due to the Erie Canal (which I got to cross at times.)
Of course, the Sabres in particular are supported as well by many Canadians from across the border as I remember seeing a Canadian flag in front of their arena (and in fact, they sing "O Canada" at every one of their games, regardless of whether the opposing team is Canadian or not).
One of their strong points has to be the sheer amount of history that took place there... presidents Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland were from there, and William McKinley was assassinated there too.

February 4th, 2012 - Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States  The same view, at night:   City Hall:  What can you say? It's the bus stop:  The Falls:  6 Facts About Sioux Falls: 1) The city is named after the nearby waterfalls of the Big Sioux river, which are named after the Sioux Native American tribe. 2) The population of Sioux Falls is nothing to write home about, with just over 150,000 residents. However, that is enough to rank it as the most populated city in South Dakota. 3) Sioux Falls experiences warm, humid summers and very cold winters. The average low temperature during the month of January is 3F (-16C) and it can get much colder. May and September offer the most tourist-friendly weather of the year. 4) As with many cities in the region, it is not very diverse here. Nearly 90% of the population is white. 5) An impressive 70 parks and 22 miles of paved bike trail can be found here. 6) The city is home to The Empire Mall, which has over 180 stores.

While I doubt it's a place I'd visit on its own, I'd surely check out Sioux Falls if I ended up spending a night there while on a road trip, just to see what is there. I have visited South Dakota though, but at the other end as I was there to see Mount Rushmore. |

Have you been there? yup, and it does looks great in pictures- but if you have business there, not fun. |

Yes, this is the Bronxite who still comes around from time to time! Glad to see New York getting a mention in there! The only other city on this list that I have visited is Philadelphia. Technically, I have also been to Miami, but only to layover at the airport when flying from NYC to POS. Every time I hear of Sioux Falls, I think of credit cards - that's where the Citibank headquarters are located and where all their bank statements are mailed from. It was a bit of a surprise to see Yellowknife on there, as it's located in a region that's always fascinated me. I think, however, if I could visit just one Canadian city, it would have to be Iqaluit. In the United States, I'd like to see Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay, Alaska (as its population is below 1,000, I doubt it will be featured in this list), but it's a point of interest as it's the northermost city in the US, and in North America, that is accessible by road (Barrow is more northerly but can only be accessed via air or water). There really isn't anyplace in the continental United States that I have a great desire to see with the exception of Los Angeles, California. I had plans to visit Chicago, Las Vegas, and San Juan, Puerto Rico during 2011, but things didn't go as planned. I may be traveling to the island of Barbados this year, and there's a possibility I may be going to Quezon City, Philippines next year. |

It seems like you're interested in the polar regions, and that's pretty cool. I will do cities with populations of under 1,000 because from time to time I like to feature different kinds of cities that people wouldn't expect (like Sioux Falls). Thanks for checking out my thread! I hope you get to go to those places this year. If you do, you should tell us how it goes. |

They hate Rihanna there not because of her music (I don't think), but because she caused trouble there like the classless bitch she is.

Have you been there?
;D
I had to go check out that song
