I read somewhere recently that the average American has been to seventeen cities in their lifetime. I was shocked! So I started counting: I have LIVED in that many! But I moved a lot as a child (I went to 13 schools in 12 years.) My list of towns and cities I have been to quickly topped 160.
I did not to count towns we merely passed through on road trips unless we did something there: visited someone or something, spent the night . . . something other that roaring through at 55 mph or landing and taking off. (I made an exception for Fort Worth, TX: our plane landed there when I was nine and they had to move everyone to a new aircraft due to the extent of my airsickness!). Rather than include my entire "visited" list, I have listed only those I've lived in. But I encourage others to put the ones they've visited if it's anything less cumbersome than . . . whatever: or would listing just foreign cities or just US ones be more manageable? Or should just the numbers be given? I think the results underestimated the true amount if traveling most Americans (and, I am quite certain, the rest of the world) have done, and thus my interest.
Or is the whole thing dumb? Here's my list, in any case. Chime in if you care to: I'd be interested.
Pasadena, CA
Chicago (Evanston), IL
Baltimore, MD
Towson, MD
Nashville, TN
Arlington, VA
Silver spring, MD
Minneapolis, MN
San Juan, PR
Cincinnati, OH
E. Lansing, MI
Bethesda, MD
Laurel, MD
Elliott City, MD
Columbia, MD
Traverse City (Kewadin), MI
Big Sky, MT
