is the sigh for Providence a sarcasm sigh or a "I love this town" sigh?

Gettysburg PA

This could have been a more exciting town IF the State of PA hadn't refused to give them a casino gambling license recently. It was a 2-year fight. The locals were against it because it would ruin their once-a-year Battle of Gettysburg Re-enactment extravaganza.

I'm starting to feel the same way about Philly, Jen. Have been working in the city for too long. *heavy sigh*

There is plenty of open land around Gettysburg for a casino. I’m glad the locals won that battle. If you are a history buff, and especially the Civil War history buff, like me, Gettysburg is just fabulous. I hate to see it build up anymore than it already has, and wish it could be restored back to its original 1865 appearance. If you want to dance, swim, gamble or party, go somewhere else. That is hallowed ground where some of the bravest men in history paid the ultimate sacrifice on American soil. There were more men killed and wounded on that ground in three days than have been killed in ALL the US wars totaled together since then. I don’t mind the slow pace and the tourist traps because they are tastefully done and not gaudy.

I have been to many of the same places you mentioned, but I enjoy Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA the most. Japan, Hong Kong and Hawaii were very interesting, too. But I love and enjoy my easy chair in my den the most. Yeah, Woodstock.

The only places we have both been to is NYC. Maybe I'll do my 13 too, but it will be bORING.

I got flown out to NY for training once, and I was PSYCHED! Rat Bastards scheduled every single hour of my day. You know what I saw? The taxi drivers all pointed out the field where Lindberg took off from. Every.freaking.time.we.drove.by.
