NYC, of course.

I don't know of much else but Rutgers and Princeton.

We have the atlantic vet collage. It's pretty good. We get a lot of people who travel to take their sick pets there.

We also have Anne of Green Gables, The Confed Bridge, stuff...I don't know lol

Hmm.. in all honesty, I don't know! =D

Well, for collages, ASU(Arkansas State University) is pretty close to us... my sister attends it.

Turpentine Creek - A big cat reserve.. thing. They take great care of their animals. I've been there a time or two and its really nice. =]

Branson is pretty close to us, aswell. For those who aren't familiar, its a big tourist place, basically. Has Silver Dollar City and such. Haven't been there in years, but used to go every year as a little kid. I have alot of memories there.

Hmm.. Nothing really historical about that, but its something!

edit/ the later two are in MO. I live on the border, so both MO & AR things are pretty close to me. Just wanted to make that clear^^.

UC Davis is about a half hour away, it is the number one rated vet school in the country and it is where my daughter plans to go to school. Lake Tahoe is about an hour and a half away.

I really like it here because it is a few hours from the ocean and a few hours from the mountains.

Pittsburgh is the home of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie-Mellon University. Both campuses are about 5 minutes from where I live. Also, in downtown Pittsburgh is Point State Park where you can see two rivers join to form the Ohio river. Also in the park is the remanents of Fort Pitt built in 1759. One blockhouse sitll stands at the site.
