BL Travel Guide: A Locals Guide to YOUR TOWN!

[bromance]

bromance - I hate the 3rd Street Promenade. That place stopped being cool when I was in Middle School. Get with the times bro. Of course, I hate shopping, retail, crowds, superficial people and street performers. The restaurants aren't great either.

Whoops, sorry about that. What was I thinking

 

[Benefit]

Apology accepted.

^if i were you, i'd demand at least a knuckle.

PS Quebec looks pretty cool!

Ninja--Blue Springs IS amazing! Central Florida and Northern Florida are packed with freshwater springs! They're amazing for snorkeling! We swim with garfish, large-mouth bass, blue crabs, turtles, catfish...and the occasional gator--though they tend to stay out of the swimming area and we're always cautious.

Oh yeah, I forgot--Orlando is only an hour away. I actually haven't been to one of the Disney parks since I moved here!!

West side of Orlando. Can you go wrong with a building shaped like a pineapple??

WONDERWORKS!! I-Drive in Orlando, and the BEST way to waste time if someone's flight into Orlando Intl is delayed a few hours--or the most fun way to start a family member's vacation. It's a hands on museum of ridiculous fun--put yourself in a bubble, hurricane wind simulator, shadow box, and the best of all!!--create a rollercoaster and then get in the simulator and ride it!!

The inversion tunnel at Wonderworks...it's how you enter and it makes you feel like the tube is spinning out of whack.

Newcastle upon Tyne. UK

Don't live here anymore, but was there for most of my life, therefore have more of a connection to it than Manchester.

View of the Bridges of the River Tyne from behind the Millenium Bridge. The second bridge is the Tyne Bridge, which was the inspiration for the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Gateway to Chinatown

Eldon Square, the main shopping Centre in the City

Grainger Street, with Grey's Monument in the middle, a Monument to Earl Grey.

Northumberland Street, Newcastle's main shopping street.

The Castle Keep.

The Gate, Newcastle's main Entertaiment complex, with 12 screen cinema, Casino, restaurants and bars.

Newcastle University.

St James' Park, home of Newcastle United.

The Metro Radio Arena.

The Tyne & Wear metro, light rail transport system.

These last two are in Gateshead, Not Newcastle, but deserve honourable mention as they're just at the other side of the river.

The Baltic Art Centre

The Sage Music Centre

I swear that GA is by far my least favorite state, Atlanta the worst part of the state...but dammit I wanna see the furries and Klingons duke it out!

 

[Chaos23]

I am just happy to learn there are others out in LA except me.... I was beginning to think I was all alone on BL in that regard...

3rd st promenade is not so cool, but when people visit from out of town, it is needed to go there and stroll around.. Then santa monica pier... hollywood blvd... venice beach... downtown. (broadway is like being in mexico city)

 

[ninjadanslarbretabar]

I live in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

This is one of the defining pictures of our city. It is called The Sleeping Giant. It is a land mass accross the bay on Lake Superior that looks like...well...a giant sleeping man.

Paul Schaffer of Letterman fame is from here.

A view from above

Here we are in contrast to the rest of Ontario

...and Terry Fox ended his cross country trek accross Canada here when cancer forced him to stop his Marathon of Hope
