Top Ten Places I Want to Visit in the USA




Today, we start a new segment on our blogs devoted to Top Ten lists. Before we start, let's wish actor Donald Sutherland a happy 75th birthday. The IFC, in conjunction with a film blog from TheNerve.com which my good friend Bilge Ebiri used to edit, named Sutherland's steamy love scene with Julie Christie in the '70s film "Don't Look Now" as the greatest sex scene of all time! Kudos on that too....


We have never been to any of these places, and since we are pressed for time, let's just throw them here on the canvass:

1. Seattle- Home of the Starbucks Corp.!

2. Austin, Tex.

3. Boise, Idaho- Home of the minor league hockey team the Idaho Steelheads!

4. Helena, Montana

5. Ann Arbor, Mich.- My late father went to school there a very long time ago.

6. Eugene, Oregon- College town where the late author Ken Kessey lived.

7. Miami- We are referring to the large city in Florida, not Miami, Okl.

8. Los Angeles- Man, I would really like to see The Roxy, The Echo and (of course!) The Viper Room!

9. St. Paul, Minn.- Of course, I'm sure there are other things besides "Prairie Home Companion."

10. North Pole, Alaska- This is NOT the town where Sarah Palin was mayor!
