I didn't realize Burma was near the US.

[Guest]

I only vaction there.

[Craig Tucker]

Yes that New York and I was thinking of flying not driving. Your country is so pigging huge even what seems pretty close on the map is a serious pilgimage. 9-10 hour drive would take you the length of England easily. Looking at the map, not as far from home as I thought. London is just up the road

To Fly or Drive?

Scale is at top. (New York city, in New York State right?)

That's a 13 to 15 hour drive depending on how you drive. that's all highway too, most of it in the middle of nowhere.... I-80 (New York to San Francisco) and part of I-90? I did that leg once but only part of the way through PA... I was at the Palladium in Detroit with my buddy who played in a band.

Your country is so pigging huge even what seems pretty close on the map is a serious pilgimage.

It's about a 50 hour drive from one coast to the other all highway, take your pick. If you have the time I'd suggest Niagara Falls as Dr. Gee suggested, that's not really far. If your into Roller Coasters and thrill rides or have never been on one Cedar Point is right there.... Probably the best park in the world. www.cedarpoint.com

Cedar Point amusement park/resort stuns thrill-seekers in 2003 with the debut of the park's unprecedented 16th, yes, 16th roller coaster - Top Thrill Dragster. Reaching a stratospheric 420 feet tall and topping out at an unheard of speed of 120 mph, this new steel screamer helped Cedar Point reclaim the title of owning the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the universe.

Yeah but I think Craig mentioned he was coming in March and Cedar Point doesn't open until Labor Day so I don't think that would work. Fun place though

Usually mid-may,before Memorial Day.

I still say Niagara Falls is the place you'll want to go to. Make sure you have US currency for Highway Tolls. Parts of I-90 are tollway, and some of the US/Canada bridges are Tolled. It's nice to have at least $50 in singles and $10 in quarters. You really only need about $15-$20 in singles, but there are strip clubs just past the border. Good ones too.

I was at the Palladium in Detroit with my buddy who played in a band.

That's going back to the early 90's

Early to mid 90's, he was in "The Back Door's" a Door's tribute band, but They were "The" door's tribute band to see. Big crowd, biggest I've seen short of a regular concert.

Welcome to the ballinest country in the world

[ChrisX]

Looks like I may be coming to the states in a couple of months. Work related.

Is detroit is as bad as it is portrayed in the media. I will be in that area. Warren to be exact. Isn't that where Dr. Gee is from. Perhaps he could give me some tips on where to avoid and what to see in my spare time.

Craig Tucker, unfortunately some U.S. cities are bad and Atlanta is another as bad as they say in the media.

Anyway, my father once did visit Detroit on business and he says a terrible filthy place to be. An industrial motor city

He was there only briefly and soon after a flight to Los Angeles for Sydney.

It is pretty cold there at this time of the year too.

I really don't know bad crime is in that city?

If you want to drive from NYC to Detroit and this would take you a long time to get there, all day and perhaps +12 hours.

I can remember traveling to Buffalo from NYC and the trip has taken me 8 hours to get there to see Niagara Falls.

Anyway in NYC, I experienced in areas outside of Manhattan as bad.

This is especially so on Brooklyn and the Bronx.

[sacajaweeda]

Detroit is a filth ridden shithole, yes. Lots of nice places in that state, but Motown ain't one of 'em.

[Doramius]

There are many parts of Atlanta that aren't bad, but they seems to be more towards the suburban areas, like Alpharetta. Upstate NY is not a bad place to visit, but be warned. Buffalo is as every bit polluted as they say it is. It's tastes like pure exhaust when you breath in, and you cough out soot with the exhale. Yet the snow season hides it so well. Niagara Falls is great though. BEEEAUTIFUL! Nowhere else like it. If you get a chance to go to the Canadian side, park at the Casino and make sure you have some Canadian cash before you do. It's the best parking rates compared to parking anywhere outside of the Casino and easier to find a spot.

[Craig Tucker]

So how long a drive would Niagra be from Warren. ?

[Guest]

5 hrs

[Craig Tucker]

Still require a stayover then.

[Doramius]

A bit, but it's really not that bad, unless there's snow. Bring a light coat (not a jacket) though as it will still be a bit cool. This is why I said see if you can spend 1 night. If you leave about 2 or 3PM the next day, you'll be back in the mid-late evening.

[Guest]

depends-leave at 5am get there @10 stay for 2 hrs,back by five

[gastorgrab]

The view of the falls is much better from the Canadian side, and in January, hope for cold weather. The mist from the Horseshoe falls settles on everything creating a full-size "Glass-Menagerie".

Wear Golf shoes.

I see gastrograb has been hanging around the french-canadian stirp clubs.

Well, I grew up in Detroit. I don't think your brother and I are talking about the same city. Now you can listen to hearsay, or direct testimony. The choice is yours.

Thats because the exchange rate is so good. You get more for your money!

Detroit to Niagara Falls isn't even this far, just cut through Ontario.

As for the filth, we pick up around here. It must have been all those Damn tourists leavin shit around!

Are you suggesting Detroit is not acurately described?

[Tommyknocker]

Absolutely. I know what city I grew up in. Unless he spent 25 years there (as I did before joining the military), how can he possibly know what I know about my home town?

[Guest]

I guess you havnt been to Brush,Cass,HP,Delray,lower Gratiot and woodward lately.

[Tommyknocker]

I am sure you can find seedy parts of any major city over 300 years old, Can you say the majority of Detroit looks like that?
