The Bad Oriole City Tour!

OK, so in case you couldn't already tell, I've got a case of the Februarys.

So to kill time, I thought I'd rummage through the memories I have in each city I have visited in the last few years and rate them based on five categories.

1. Arts & Culture -- what the city has to offer in terms of history, entertainment and fun.

2. Food -- not so much the quality of restaurants the city has...this is more about the city's indigenous food.

3. Mass Transportation -- yeah, I'm a train geek but when visiting cities, mass transit is a crucial component.

4. Look & Feel -- Architecture, water views, the city layout and pretty much the feeling I get from being in the city.

5. Overall -- how each category comes together in creating my overall opinion of a city.

I'll admit, I haven't been to as many cities as I would like. I'm still waiting to visit such gems as Paris, Tokyo, London, Barcelona, Seattle, Chicago and San Diego. But I also do think of myself as being pretty well traveled, having visited Rome, Athens, Florence, Venice, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Boston.

So obviously I am only going to review cities that I've visited. And as I visit more, I'll add them to my list. I'll try to add a city every week or so, as I have the time.

So in the meantime, enjoy! And feel free to let me know what you think.

I do accept as true with all the ideas you have presented in your post.
They're really convincing and will certainly work.
Still, the posts are too brief for beginners.
Could you please lengthen them a bit from next time?
Thanks for the post.

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what
I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying
your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole
thing. Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers?
I'd definitely appreciate it.
