I don't like cities. I like little towns with little buildings and general stores. You know the kind of town that WalMart Super Stores destroy.
I enjoy visiting the small towns while on vacation. You get a much better feel for the area.
We enjoyed Leavenworth, WA; Ferndale, CA; Garibaldi, OR and What Cheer, IO.
There are many others but these were small, friendly towns.
