Q: What would some cool tourist attractions be?
In math class, we have to do a project where we create a trip. Our group (all teen guys) is looking more in the area of the eastern side of the US..

Starting from Wisconsin, headed to Florida.. we don't want anything too far west of the Mississippi River and nothing too far north of West Virginia on the coast.

Any suggestions? Any at all?

A: If you'll be going down the east coast of FL, I would recommend the Kennedy Space Center.

Getting way south...the Everglades

Depending upon your interests you will probably be passing near some Civil War battlefields

If you've got your route mapped out, you might get some better detailed suggestions

Q: Does the East coast or the West coast have more tourist attractions?
I choose the west coast for the simple fact of NY and WA but please let me know what u think. Dividing line is Mississippi.. so anything East of the Mississippi is East and anything west is West. U.S only

A: When was NY moved to the West coast?
You think I would have noticed/felt it

Q: Tourist Attractions part IV?

Q: Tourist Attractions?
I'm traveling with a mission team to Gulfport, Mississippi to help Katrina victims rebuild their houses and I've been assigned to find tourist attractions down there so we have something to do with our down time or our off days. The Internet doesn't really do any good because it gives me businesses and semi-annual events, like Christmas Tree Lighting. So is there anyone out there who lives down there and could help me out? Or anyone with any ideas to help narrow my search on the web? Thanks so much!

A: The main tourist attractions in Gulfport are the beach and the casinos. That's about it.

That sounds like a noble cause on the surface, but anyone who hasn't rebuilt their house after three years is probably just waiting for you to show up and do it for them. Anyone with the tiniest drop of self-reliance has rebuilt their lives by now.

Q: About Mississippi....?
What is the mississippi landmarks?
Tourist attractions?
and major industries..

A: Jackson, MS has a park with go-carts, and arcades located on Lakeland Drive.

Natchez, MS has some pretty nice historical buildings and landmarks to see.

Tunica, MS & Vicksburg, MS has casinos, if you're interested in that.

There are also some really good seafood places to visit, that offer a great bit of "Southern Hospitality" culture.

I hope you're able to find what you need and also enjoy what Mississippi has to offer...remember "It's Like Coming Home..."

Enjoy! We're glad to have you!

Q: Tourist Attracktions part II?
I need info on the following places. Just tell me what you know or what you have heard, or even a website I could visit to find out more information: N.Y.C., Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Silver Lake State Park, Brooklyn, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hoosier National Forest, Flagstaff Lake, Chessapeak Bay, Roanoke Rapids, Harrison Lake State Park, Lake Wateree State Park, White Mountain National Forest, Arlington, Washington D.C., Clevleand Tenn., Chattanooga Aquarium, Virginia Beach, Merle Beach, Staute of Liberty, Niagra Falls, Broadway N.Y., Bronx Zoo, Bristol Tenn, And any other good tourist attractions in the east coast states to the Mississippi River.

A: You should try Hersey PA, its where the herseys chocolate plant is, its a whole town dedicated to chocolate.... a womans best friend

Q: Which Southern states do you really like? Can do without?
I wanna know what you think, but as for me...

I like:
-TEXAS: Like a "Lone Star" in terms of its hospitality and generosity.
-Oklahoma: Lot like Texas
-Tennessee: Laid-back, mellow
-North Carolina: Much like Tennessee outside of the cities
-South Carolina: Old South charm, Charleston is nice tourist attraction
-Mississippi: Old South charm, sweet people
-Louisiana: Food, culture, that down home feeling
-Alabama: Much like Mississippi
-Georgia: Just as long as you avoid ATL

I can do without:
-Kentucky: Might as well be Ohio. Bad drivers, very unwelcoming to outsiders, snooty women...and I'm from there!
-West Virginia: There's nothing there!
-Virginia: like New York/New Jersey south
-Florida: like New York/New Jersey south-south
-Arkansas: had several bad service industry-related experiences in this state. Plus it elected BJ to four terms as Governor.

This is my opinion based on life experience. Every state has its good and bad points, though!

A: I support the southern states

Q: Family vacation suggestions? Similar to Gatlinburg-hotels within walking of shops, attractions, restaurants?
We enjoy Gatlinburg, but want someplace different.We like staying downtown and walking everywhere, maybe taking the trolley once or twice. We are looking for something East of the Mississippi, and not in Florida. A nice tourist town with small things to do, fudge shops, restaurants, etc. Hopefully hotels/motels located nearby for walking. Historical is fine.

A: I would suggest maybe trying something like Charleston or Savannah area? There's alot of history and charm in Georgia and South Carolina. In Charleston, you can see where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. Visit Boone Hall, which is a large cotton plantation. In Savannah, tour the first national headquarters of the Girl Scouts. Visit its historic district and the grand Gilded Age "cottages." Tour St. Simons Island and see its famous lighthouse. Spend time in St. Augustine, the oldest city if the US. There a lot of things to do nearby! I have used this travel website I really like, go to:www.everydaytravelconnections.com

Q: Tourists Atractions part III?
I need info on the following places. Just tell me what you know or what you have heard, or even a website I could visit to find out more information: N.Y.C., Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Silver Lake State Park, Brooklyn, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hoosier National Forest, Flagstaff Lake, Chessapeak Bay, Roanoke Rapids, Harrison Lake State Park, Lake Wateree State Park, White Mountain National Forest, Arlington, Washington D.C., Clevleand Tenn., Chattanooga Aquarium, Virginia Beach, Merle Beach, Staute of Liberty, Niagra Falls, Broadway N.Y., Bronx Zoo, Bristol Tenn, And any other good tourist attractions in the east coast states to the Mississippi River.

A: man, that's a long list. maybe you should break it up into several questions.
NYC-i don't like it.
smoky Mt's-beautiful, don't miss it.
Washington dc-many things to see. don't miss the Smithsonian
Chattanooga aquarium-haven't been but i hear its great. i like the city of Chattanooga, you could spend some time there
Niagara falls-a must see

Q: Which Southern state(s) do you like? And, don't like (if I may ask)?
I love the South---the culture, weather, people (most of them, anyway.) It's just a great place to live, with a couple of exceptions, which I'll get to.

My TOP picks: Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, western North Carolina, west and middle Tennessee

Not my top picks but still great places: the rest of NC and TN, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas (west of Little Rock,) and Oklahoma.

Here are my exceptions:
-Kentucky: that place has the sourest people I've EVER seen in my life. Try making bets that very few people (especially women) will even say "thank you" when you hold a door open for them...I bet you'll win. The place sucks!
-Florida: same reasons, but it does have lot of jobs. It's kind of boring after you hit all the tourist attractions, however. (Side note: I like the weather.)
-Virginia: too rushed, b/c it's the southern end of the Megalopolis.

West Virginia doesn't count as South, no offense to anybody who lives there.
Intelligent and curious: Actually, I do agree with you. That's an insult to true Southerners. I went on and included it b/c Jefferson Davis...but that's it. Thanks!
Gay Jesus: WTF are you thinking?! Texas is great! It's the best state in the South!

A: Florida is best, particularly West Palm, North Miami Beach and St. Pete's area. Best of both worlds. There are lots of northern transplants and the weather is great (minus the hurricanes).

As for the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, etc., that's just too country for me. Sure, some of it is beautiful, but it's still too, too country and rural once you get outside the metro area. Visiting is fine, but as for living, I tried it and didn't like it. Also, politically, the folks are a little too right wing and fundamentalist for my taste. For those that are like-minded, please, feel free to go. But unless it's southern FL, I think north of the Mason Dixon line is better.
