My Top 20 Favorite Large US Cities: 10 through 6
My apologies on the long delay for this posting. I have accepted a new job and things have become a little crazy as you might imagine. More on that to come. For now, hope you enjoy the series: Boston Common with high-rise housing units in the background - Boston, MA 10. Boston, MA – Boston is one of those cities I really like, but when I’ve gone there to visit, I haven’t felt...

A view of Downtown Long Beach from Rainbow Harbor 15. Long Beach, CA – I think Long Beach is still one of the well-kept secret gems of America. Sure, there are places around the city I would classify as ghetto sprawl, but, they are REALLY trying to make Long Beach into a hip and walkable city. The downtown has high rise condo and apartment towers, outdoor restaurants and cafes, a movie...

Downtown La Jolla, just north of San Diego, has many great shops and restaurants. It is situated along the Pacific Ocean, and has a long coastal trail with lots of parkland. This was another one of those places where it was hard to choose a photo. This image probably would not have ranked this high on the list had it not been for the adorable kids that snuck into the photo. I always feel...
