I'm quite fond of Ohio, it's Northeast and North Central parts in particular.  I've had wonderful times in Canton, Massillon, Cleveland, Mentor, Cuyahoga Falls as well as Mansfield, Ashland, Galion, Lexington and Loudonville.  I've even raised some heck in Columbus, Dayton and Cincy.  I'd be proud to call any of them home and I'd recommend you visit.  Unfortunately they are not among the best places to be.

     The readers of the travel magazine Condé Nast have spoken, and Charleston, South Carolina, is the number-one city in the United States.  The seaside community topped the list of the Top 10 Cities in the U.S. for having the best beaches in the southeast and one-of-a-kind seafood. One reader called it “a bucket list city.”

Here are the Top 10:

1. Charleston, South Carolina
2. San Francisco, California
3. Chicago, Illinois
4. Santa Fe, New Mexico
5. New York City, New York
6. Honolulu, Hawaii
7. Napa, California
8. Seattle, Washington
9. Boston, Massachusetts
10. Carmel, California
