Big buildings, riding the L thru the neighborhoods, mushball in Grant Park, Cubs game at Wrigley, Buckingham Fountain at night, Ditka's for a steak.

7. It is indeed. If I had to move anywhere in the USofA right now, it |
|
would be down town Chicago or close to down town. Great people, very funny too, great food everywhere, wonderful music, clean, no real rush hour (they think they have one but they're wrong), and, surprisingly, some of the very best Mexican quisine in the country.

I grew up in Elgin (NW 'burb). Only thing I don't miss is shoveling snow.

22. 'Niners will outlose the Raiders. |
|
Randy Moss will get the Silver and Black at least 3 more wins than my boys. We'll probably be in the running for the top draft pick again.

24. Gotta agree with your posts. |
|
Moss will excel (provided he stays healthy) with Jerry Porter on the other side and a new focus on the ground game. I'm going to have to hear about it all year.

25. Count on it. I'm an old 49er fan as a kid. Raiders became my |
|
team when a local guy tried out for their first team. Daryl Lamonica ("The Mad Bomber") was on the milk cartons when I was a little kid. Brain washed as a kid and then hooked by Kenny Stabler and Co. Although, I think that Montana may be the best QB, scratch that, is the best QB ever! No one will ever match his success and "cool."

5. drive cross country while you still can |
|
America is an amazing place.
But then going overseas is also great -- again while we still can travel.
I have a soft spot for Hawaii -- any island except Oahu.
Mountains -- Rocky Mountains, Cascades, Olympic -- etc.
Oceans -- Atlantic & Pacific.
Red States, Blue States (coastal states)
Big cities -- lots to see and do.
Resorts -- some people like this sort of stuff -- like Disney Land/World
Swimming -- ocean, lakes
Hiking in Old Growth Forests -- while some still exist.
Depends on your interests, time and money.

St. John's Island is mostly National Park so you can camp or stay in their "cabins".

10. Why are you restricting yourself to the U.S.? |
|
If I could hop in the car and go anywhere for a week, it'd be Montreal or Quebec City.

Stunning. Magnificent.
Also, the Canyon de Chelly nearby.
