How close are you to a tourist "interest"??

[CPM]

I live about 5 miles from Ft. Myers Beach and about 2 miles from Sanibel Island. it's a very beautiful area if you haven't been here.

Must be mighty chilly up in the Northern parts, because we are about filled to capacity down here!!

I'm 15 minutes from NASA and Space Center Houston, and 20 minutes from Galveston. Do those count? (Even though I personally don't like Galveston)

You forgot to mention that finding a parking spot on said island at any time during the summer is a real pain in the you know what...LOL. I live in Ventnor...right next door to good ol' Atlantic City. I too work in a casino!

I live 20 blocks from the White House and all the other attractions in D.C. Right now, I wish I didn't. I live right in Georgetown, which is a tourist attraction in itself, and a couple of blocks away from Georgetown University.

Hmmm, lets see, I live about 30 minutes from Annapolis and the Naval Academy, about 3 hours away from the beach (Ocean City, Maryland or Virginia Beach, Virginia).

CPM, I'm headed your way this year. You are so lucky to live so close to Sanibel Island.

Gosh, Chris did I say terrorist attraction??!!

 

[Credit Man]

Right now I am down the block from the Empire State Building.

 

[Baboo]

We live about 5 minutes away from the world's highest hydraulic liftlocks. We're right in the middle of the Kawartha Lakes region which is very popular with tourists.

 

[Blondie]

We are an hour from Washington, D.C., 1 1/2 hours from Williamsburg and 2 1/2 hours from Virginia Beach.

The town I live in has many places for tourists to visit in terms of battlefields, and other historical landmarks.

 

[grinningghost]

I am cracking up - Krisu lives by the world famous plastic sheeting house guy!

 

[CyranoJones]

We're about 10 minutes from Gettysburg, about an hour and a half (on a good day) from Washington, DC, 45 minutes from Baltimore.

And we have potato chip factories in town that seem to be a tourist attraction.

I'd have to say Frankenmuth, Michigan. Bronners Christmas shop draws tourist all year long. The town is beautiful with tons of shops, carriage rides etc. Two restaurants have famous chicken dinners also. It really is a pretty area.

 

[Muffin]

We're 5 miles away from the French Quarter of New Orleans. And we don't take it for granted, we go at least twice a month.

 

[lisajl]

My in laws live in Flint. We love going to Frankenmuth!

[Fire14]

[Tiggeroo]

I live an hour away from that man that wrapped his entire house in plastic sheeting

Bwahahahahah

And we have potato chip factories in town that seem to be a tourist attraction.

Cyrano, we've done the Herr's tour and got to tast Ketchup flavored chips.

As for me, I live 3 houses from the Ocean City Boardwalk. I can look out my windows and see the ferris wheel. And yes, parking is insane. I have the parking ticket bill to prove it.

We live about an hours drive from Wisconsin Dells, which is turning into a year-round tourist attraction, several of the hotels now have indoor waterparks, one of which we are going to next month!!!

 

[LindaG4458]

We are the next town from North Conway, NH, in the Mount Washington valley. There are lots of tourists both winter and summer. We are having a heat wave right now: 5 above.
When we drive down the street we are looking straight at the mountain - beautiful this morning!

 

[mhopset]

I live right in the middle of the Hocking Hills. and about 12 miles from Old Mans Cave, Ash Cave. All that cave stuff

10 minutes from New Haven and Yale.
