I like places for what I can see or do and then eat. I love history and think I could spend a good amount of time there and not see everything. People watching was great and I thought it was beautiful.

If we saw a foreign country that looked like East St. Louis, we'd invade it for humanitarian reasons.

Cleveland getting lots of love here

Their chief export is crippling depression.

Isn’t Cincinnati just a shittier Cleveland? Or is it the other way around?

Cinci has Jungle Jim's grocery store so it is much better.

HaHa. I was there and I couldn't quite wrap my head around the concept.

The whole thing makes no sense, yet is incredibly successful.

Everybody has things... One of mine is grocery stores. It's sorta weird, I know. I love going to them when I go on vacation or whatever. My friends that live in Cinci could not wait to take me there. It was like Whole Foods, met Wally World, met Walmart. I had no idea how I was suppose to respond.

It has a fishery, it has a singing Elvis by the cheese section, 1000+ kinds of soda, a port-a-potty selfie booth, about three aisles of beer selection, carnival rides, probably ten different ethnic aisles covering the entire globe, a Jersey Mike's ordering counter (if you want to go into Jersey Mike's, you can, but they will sell it to you and let you continue shopping), and everyone in there is friendly. It is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Holy shit. This sounds awesome.

Also, how does Schaumburg not have one of these yet? Seems like something they would invent.

YES!!! Some good stuff but so weird at the same time.

Even the Schaumburgians are a little hoighty toighty. it's a bizarre experience.

The entire country is a dump except for the national parks.

Charlotte and Houston have not yet been mentioned.


European grocery stores are fun. Plus if it is sweltering out, you can just stand in the frozen foods section and cool off.

Functionally identical to their American counterparts you just won't find them in the city center. They are not as popular though, at least in France. Most people have their boulanger, boucher, fromagerie etc. then buy the rest at Leclerc or Carrefour, which are goliath stores that more closely resemble a Target or Walmart.

Intermarché would be the closest thing to an American grocery store but the entire chain feels like a festering shithole.

The shopping style seems much different as well. Europeans don't stockpile groceries the way Americans do. They buy product for the specific meal. Almost no one in my neighborhood is American-born and I see MANY people who go to the Fresh Market every single day.

I don't think it is so bad. A little boring maybe and the roads are terrible but other than that, I like it for the most part.

Although I enjoyed living and going to school there, I would have to put Memphis on the list.
