My sister went to school in Naperville. Think I've been there maybe twice.

Chicago is great because it has pretty much everything and it's in the middle of the country. Incredibly diverse, always something fun to do, and the weather is great if you're only traveling in June or July. Right now it feels like Alaska.

Or you could come to Evanston, where I technically am right now. No point in being here though unless you go to school here or you're old as time itself.

Okay, so basically we have 2 types of interesting stuff - the old stuff, and the new stuff, new stuff being 'monuments' of soviet fail.
For the best old stuff - look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_Ukraine
Personally, I've only been to two or three of them. The park at n.1 is incredibly majestic. If I would live somewhere else, that would do it for me as a reason to travel here. The castles are pretty cool, want to see them this summer.
The Lviv City Center is a UNESCO world heritage site, but I think if you seen one European 16th century town - you basically seen them all.
As for the 'new' stuff - you can get a tour to the Chernobyl Zone for 200-300 dollars from some Kyiv travel agencies. I personally never been there, I've got enough radiation already. Also, there are cool soviet military things, like nuclear warheads launch silo's and a submarine repair dock in Balaclava in Crimea. I've ben to the latter, I think it's pretty awesome. Balaclava is a great town, great marina for the yachts, probably because it was built by British in the Crimea War.
Anything else? I'm actually somehow proud there are people who are interested. )

I've never been to the east of Ukraine, we see it as a more of industrial region, with a major-ly somehow retarded population. (Something like a very big East LA). Though Kharkiv is probably the most intelligent city there. There are two good thing in Kharkiv - the biggest square in Europe (yeah, just a big slab of tarmac in the centre of the city) and Gosprom, an example of soviet cubism architecture. Their mayor was famous on the internets for being a retard. A million views on youtube.
Kursk is in Russia. I wouldn't suggest going there, probably they have some monument about the battle which took place there in WW2, but anyway - it's too cold and they have Putin and bears there. We don't have bears. We have some snow, and flu season instead of winter.

3. Motherfucking Pizza. Sal and Carmines Pizza, Broadway between 101st and 102nd, you won't find better Pizza anywhere in the world, don't even bother looking. Also, crusty angry italians - It's the fucking perfect Pizzeria.
4. We have four fucking international airports, and don't even bother trying to tell me that Newark International is actually in Newark, because Newark and Jersey City are practically the sixth and seventh boroughs of NYC.
5. Motherfucking Wall Street! Holy crap, look at all those guys walking around looking rushed and important!
6. Holy fucking shit! Statue of Liberty! Check out those massive oxidized boobs!
7. Motherfucking Empire State Building!.. Wait, what's so special about it again? It's the same size as all the buildings around it..
8. NEW FUCKING YORK PHILHARMONIC HOLY SHIT BEST ORCHESTRA IN AMERICA
9. FUCKING RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL!
10. The roasted nuts sold by the foreign guys at the stands are pretty good.
11. HOLY SHIT THIS FUCKING TOYS R US HAS A GOD DAMN FERRIS WHEEL INSIDE IT, AND THE GIANT GODZILLA MOVES AND ROARS!

Stereotypes aside, New York is actually one of the safest cities in the world after Giulliani went through (not going into politics here). London, which everyone considers to be safe, actually has three times the crime rate New York does. (Mudrder rate of 6.6 in NYC, compare that to the 35.4 of Washington DC)

As to income, I've lived there comfortably with about 2,400 a month, though I'm sure I could have managed with less.

L.A. County

Pros:
Lots of great places to eat.
Several malls if that's your thing.
More good places to eat.
Sports events if you're into that.
D'Amore's Famous Pizza Connection
Lots of heat and sun during the summer if you like that, though I prefer cool rain.
In driving distance of beaches.

Cons:
Have a pregnant lady threaten to gut you while quietly waiting in line to buy some oatmeal.
Listen to your neighbors throw their baby against the wall until it stops crying every night.
Lung cancer from all the car fumes.
High housing and rent prices correlate to high hotel prices.
Homeless bums at every corner in industrial districts.
The "Busway"...try not to get run over by a bus. Quite a few of the streets don't have a clear indication of when you can and can't turn.(Yes, busway. They tore out some train tracks and tried to make a bus system along express "bus only" streets that would work as efficiently as a subway or train system.)

Rent an apartment in Hoboken or Jersey City - Cheaper and less crime then in the cheap parts of NYC, and you're a short bus, train, or ferry trip away (5-10 minutes)
Also, if you must have a car, be sure to have a place to park it first, although you really don't need one.
additonally, abuse the hell out of the unlimited ride Metrocards - $70 or so for 30 days unlimited (Consider that it costs $1.80 or $2 per subway or bus ride otherwise)

Also, Crime isn't a problem, just use some sense (Ie: Don't go wandering around the Bronx at midnight waving around your wallet. Infact, just don't go to the Bronx at all, worst Borough in NYC. Place is boring as fuck.)

San Francisco! It's never too hot, it's never too cold, and we have lots of homeless people.

Stay south of Market Street at late night because north of Market contains bad areas (Tenderloin). Also stay away from Hunter's Point at any time of the day. Mission may or may not be bad depending on the time of night but almost everything has bars on the windows so that tells you something.

But, we do have nice things like various museums (De Young, Legion of Honor, SF Museum of Modern Art, the Asian Art Museum). Free every month on the first Tuesday of the month! We also have the Metreon and Moscone Center, home to many conventions. Currently the Games Developer Conference will be running throughout the week at Moscone, and this weekend will be WonderCon, also at Moscone (different building). Also this weekend is the annual Chinese New Years Parade which is the biggest of its kind. Get a spot early on at Union Square for the best viewing. Union Square also has a shitload of stores to shop at and is also near other shopping centers like the gigantic San Francisco Centre.

We also have things like Japantown and Chinatown. In a couple months in Japantown will be the Cherry Blossom Festival where there will be lots of Japanese cultural things for your weeaboo fulfillment.

One of the largest proportions of immigrants in the country. Also one of the lowest recorded crime rates, but that's probably just because the pakis are so good at hiding the bodies.

I live in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany.

Augsburg is a city founded over 9000 years ago by Roman invaders. There's a shitload of stuff to see. From ancient Roman ruins to Rennaissance buildings and more. Basically the whole town is a fucking real life museum with most of those buildings in the inner city more than 200 years old. You can visit large parts of the city wall still intact, couple of churches and cathedrals and so on.

Did I mention that thousands of tourists come here everyday anyway?

Albany:

I have no idea. Way back in the beforetime the seat of state government was moved here from NYC. Basically it's an arbitrary bureaucratic tumor in an otherwise nondescript area that would never exist if it wasn't a hub for smug, incompetent state workers to collect their bi-weekly paycheck or pension from. I live in the upstate Capital Region which is one big, drab, ugly and monotonous swath of contiguous suburbia between Albany and the neighboring economically stagnant shitholes of Schenectady and Troy. If you've heard in recent years that NYC has become a slightly more tourist-friendly and approachable place, it's because gentrification and improved policing has driven their crack-addicts, prostitutes and kiddy-fiddlers upriver. If you're not living in the comparitively exciting areas of the region where people get shot in the face on a nightly basis then you'd likely be located somewhere in the midst of a cramped, dehumanizing thirty-mile lower-middle class suburban grid of cheap housing and strip malls positioned between the cities. This is probably the most mediocre place on the East Coast.

New York State in general is pretty dull.
