[OT] Best and Worst American Cities according to Europeans
"Bill in Schenectady" wrote in message news:ZUXnh.344$Br.27@trndny08... Since I've never been to Miami, I'll withhold judgment. However, I've always thought it was rather crime ridden. Huge misconception based on the movies from the 80's (Scarface and Miami Vice). 20 years later as you see it doesn't make the top 25 most dangerous cities and it's actually quite safe except for a couple of parts just like every city. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15475741/?GT1=8618 |

Best and Worst American Cities according to Europeans
striker wrote: Europeans, particularly Italians and French, besides living in two of the most beautiful countries in the world, are known for their good taste when it comes to quality of life (food, clothes, cars, night life, weather, women, etc). According to a recent poll these are the impressions of Europeans about American cities. 5 Best (the least American cities): Miami San Diego NYC San Francisco Boston 5 Worst (typical American cities): Houston Dallas Pittsburgh Detroit Cleveland I don't disagree with your categorization, but what makes Cleveland more of a "typical American city" than Boston? And San Diego??? Outside of its location, what makes it "least American?" Put it in Missouri and would be Kansas City. Sounds like typical anti-American crap by people that don't know it. Jon |

"striker" wrote in message . .. "Jack Hollis" wrote in message ... Miami would be nicer if the weather was a bit cooler. WHAT?!?!??! Are you crazy? Miami is awsome especially cause it's never cold! 72 is the low in the winter. Yes and 90 with 90% humidity and daily downpours in the summer. |

Let me answer you with a question: are Miami and NYC your typical american cities? No, but that is like asking if London and Paris are typical European citites. What makes London great isn't that it isn't a "typical British city," just that it is a nice place to visit. Unless your entire argument is that more unique cities are more interesting to visit, which is a pretty obvious statement. Jon |

The summer showers last no more than 30 mins in the late afternoon tipically. I personally love the sun and the warm weather and so do Europeans since they actually have a life (vacations) besides working. |

I'm not American (but live in America) and you couldn't pay me to live in Miami, most Americans feel the same way and that's why there are few of them actually live there. San Diego is great, wonderful climate, love NYC if it wasn't for their nasty winters. San Francisco is one of my favourite places (specially to eat) Boston is a cesspit. My vote would go for San Diego as the best and then any of the Carolina coastal towns where you get all the seasons but nothing too severe as far as weather. |

He could always try Tampa it's a bit cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than Miami/ |

I like italians and have spent much time in italy. Their women look so fantastic when young, but I also noticed all those old hags in black dresses. How did that happen?!!? Their italian food doesn't taste as good as the american version of each type. Too much olive oil puddled on everything. Bottom line: being liked by the french is an insult and hated by them a compliment. |
