    Though I live only 12 miles from downtown Chicago, I have never visited "The Bean." Never been to the Dells, either. Voodoo Doughnuts is a "meh" in my book, and Bourbon St. is like Chinatown with hookers.

    Never been to The Bean either. I've been in a house of mirrors at a county fair which is essentially the same thing, only cheaper.

    Bourbon Street is only fun for hardcore drunks with money. The Princess wnated us to go to Voodoo Donuts. Why the hell would I go across a continent and spend any time at all at a donut shop? I mean, it's a donut. They can only be so good.

          So great that they picked MOA as the worst in Minnesoooooota, not the World's Largest Ball of Twine.

            I was surprised at how "small" the Alamo was. It was very interesting and lots of history, but I guess I just expected something a bit more "grand".

            The city has really grown up around that site, which I did not realize.

            PS I thought the bean in Chicago, and @mik the park where it is located is free. No cost to go to there.

                I've got more exciting rocks in the back yard than the one in Plymouth. Comparing that to Disney and Hollywood is pathetic. I would say that the rock is quite possibly the worst attraction in the known universe.

                I was only joking

                  I thoroughly enjoyed passing the Blarney Stone without stopping to see it or kiss it. It wasn’t like Ulysses passing the Sirens for me.

                    Most of those are terrific attractions.

                    Several are excellent.

                    The author is nuts.

                      The park and the Bean are free to viewers, but not residents.

                      I've been to the Wisconsin Dells. Once you get away from teh tourist stuff it's quite pretty.

                      And yeah, the author is nuts. Disney is great, the Alamo is fascinating and Oklahoma is only the center of the universe since Quirt moved there.

                          Is Grand Canyon really that bad? I've never been there yet but I thought it's one of the legit attractions.

                              Of course not. It is breathtaking, nothing like it. The problem lies in the fact that if you are not going down into it there isn’t much else to do. You can go from vantage point to vantage point but the view does not change all that much. Still, you should see it if you can.

                                  i've been to 2, both of which I'd rather have stayed home than visit.

                                      Interesting comment that the "Breaking Bad" house is the worst attraction in New Mexico.

                                        Yeah, that’s boring. Everything about Walt’s life was boring until meth. That was the point. Fer chrissakes he drove an Aztec.
