Oakland? I’ve seen it on TV for the last few weeks. Broken windows and all. No thanks.

“I’d retire first. It’s the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you’re riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It’s depressing... The biggest thing I don’t like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?”
- John Rocker, 1999

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE WEST... HERE's THE SECOND PLACER...
A stunning natural wonder where the buffalo roam, western South Dakota has much to celebrate in 2015. It's the 50th anniversary of the annual Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup and the 75th anniversary of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally -- the largest in the world -- where 500,000 motorcycle enthusiasts meet annually.

OAKLAND?
Here's what CNN tells us....
Cross the Bay Bridge during your visit to San Francisco to see why Oakland is a known haven for adventurous food and fun art (Art Murmur anyone?) to Bay Area residents. Better yet, land at Oakland's sunny airport and stay on this side of the Bay. Bicyclists can also ride the newly opened Bay Bridge trail to enjoy the views on the new span of the Bay Bridge.

Queens is good for going to its airports and flying far away.

I’ve sat a number of times and watched the buffalo herd grazing out in the Badlands of western SD. If you look away from the road, out across where they’re scattered across the plains, it has a really prehistoric feel to it. Beautiful. Unforgettable.

The American West is every bit as spectacular as it has been described since it was first crossed by pioneers.
I have been blessed to have seen as much of it as I have in my lifetime (not my photos!)

You beat me to it. Those are the greatest travel destinations in the US in my humble opinion.
