the national parks system was p cool. I went to several out west and met some cool tourists from overseas. mostly the anglosphere.
I totally do not understand why anyone would visit the cities though. they are fucked.
like at best they get to go home with a story about how they saw the cops murder somebody or caught a glimpse of the opiate crisis. grimdark edgy vacation highlight. maybe something amusing like “I saw a guy eat 64 oz of steak”… like some real Dante’s Inferno type of travelogue.
Maybe I should stop arguing for aspects of the US lol, but again there’s so much amazing art and music especially from marginalized ppl in US cities, it just happens to be created in the middle of a decaying, shambling fascist empire so you should definitely stay the fuck away until the beast has stopped breathing.
I just hope the art and cool people survive outside of archaeological records
A lot of major cities have extensive art collections in museums. Chicago, New York, and DC have amazing stuff you won’t find collected together anywhere else. Rome, Tokyo, Mecca, Cairo, and Paris are like the holy sites of art. You can find all of them together in the US.
The Art Institute of Chicago is a favorite of mine and it’s full of beautiful & irreplaceable works from pretty much all eras of history. I would hate to see it all destroyed by this fucking devil country.
Depends on what you like. Going by raw numbers, Disneyworld and various tourist traps in NY and LA. Outside of that you have a lot of beautiful natural wildlife that’s just nice to relax and admire.
The thing about USA is it’s not one thing. It is a very large place. You can talk to 1,000 different people with completely different experience and perspective on the country.
It’s more appropriate to discuss on a municipal/regional basis because similarities start to fall off after that, other than generic shared culture like McDonalds.
Mostly parks and wildlife ie the parts of the US that was taken care of through Indigenous stewardship and that the settlers haven’t completely ruined (although they try their hardest and are continuing to try).
eh, you can spend a day or two walking around NYC, there’s plenty of interesting stuff to see. just looking at the streets and buildings of any new city is always interesting. peoplewatching can be fun too.
and then there’s all the stuff you can do, like looking at looted egyptian stuff in the museum.
Where the fuck does a tourist in America even go? It’s a shithole country
Unfortunately there are so many beautiful places I couldn’t begin to count them

I have been told that New York City is great for shopping if you are into that sort of thing and has that kind of money.
if you are “into” shopping you belong in a re-education camp. greed and gluttony are vile.
