Best US=Buena Vista, Colorado...and I've been all over Alaska.
Best International=Samana, Dominican Republic or Ponce Puerto Rico.

Worst US...this list is endless.

Well, of course PR is part of the US, though it's a free associated state. I lived in San German for a year while I studied Spanish at Interamericana Universidad de Puerto Rico. Nice town.

My son's going to go to public high school in Anacortes, WA in 9 years. I had enough of religion indoctrination, to last three life times - though I'm not a reicarnationist - after two years of Carmelites at Joliet Catholic, and 9 years of the Jesuits via Rockhurst HS in KC,MO, Xavier U. in Cincinnati, and Saint Louis University law school.

A long, long, .... long time ago, I used to talk with a poster at the O boards till he started referring to Vancouver as Hongcouver, and saying some pretty harsh shit about asians, though I do think Hongcouver is sorta funny.

I don't remember that from the times at IHN, I was just trying to make a joke about hockey fans in Vancouver.

phoenix is weird. Its not an overly run down or ghetto city or anything, but its still a shit hole. I live in AZ and have never heard someone say they like it. Its just so plastic and fake. Like being on a movie set or some shit.

I know, just when you said "racist," it reminded me of a racist I met online at the O boards, back in the 08-09 season, who had moved from Vancouver to Kelowna because of the - as he described it - "asian invasion" from Hong Kong (HK) to Vancouver after China took over HK in '97.
